**Why it failed:** Lack of interrupts: imps' Felfire Burst leaked, 2 Lithiel wipes (group)
**Tip:** Dodge Malefic Wave on Lithiel
## Three bosses down by 20:36 was on pace; two wipes on Lithiel Cinderfury ended it, and two of your four deaths were to damage three of the party never took.
The key was lost on the last boss. Kystia died at 7:50, Zaen at 12:11 and Xathuux at 20:36 — against a 34:01 timer, that pace times the key even carrying thirteen deaths. Lithiel was pulled at 25:42 and wiped at 28:41; pulled again at 29:54 with 4:07 left, and wiped at 32:20. The second attempt was over before it started.
The first wipe was not yours. The tank went from 99% to 24% on a single Infernal swing (1,036,360 — the record prints 2,858,080 from Lithiel because the pipeline counts every melee swing twice) and Lithiel's own 393k finished him two seconds later. She then turned to you, and nothing on a Retribution Paladin's bar answers a boss melee. The second wipe was the Wild Imps: 281 of 331 Felfire Bursts leaked, and a minute after you went down at 31:13 the tank, lock and healer died to it inside five seconds.
Your own deaths split cleanly. Two were beyond you — the Street Sneak opener at 0:34 and Lithiel's melee at 28:17. Two were position: a Defiled Golem's Fel Beam at 24:48, a beam that damages what it touches and that the mage and lock never touched, and Fingers of Gul'dan at 31:13 while Malefic Wave — a dodgeable wave that adds 50% fire damage taken per stack — ticked on you (29 ticks across the two attempts, zero on the other three players). And the health potion was pressed once in 36 minutes.
**What to change**
1. Dodge Malefic Wave on Lithiel — three of five players took it zero times; you took 29 ticks, and it is why a 444k Fingers of Gul'dan killed you from 61%.
2. Walk out of Fel Beam on the Defiled Golems; it only damages what it touches, and the ranged players never touched it.
3. Press the health potion when a death has a runway — it was up for 29 of these 36 minutes and two of your four deaths took 5–11 seconds to arrive.
4. Cleanse Toxins on the tank every time Heartstop Poison lands when the healer is a priest: nine applications, four cleansed, 7.6 M let through.
5. Try Blinding Light on Lithiel's imp packs; it was talented and never pressed, and Felfire Burst is what ended the second attempt.
6. Nothing to change on kicks, Lay on Hands, Divine Protection or the offensive cooldowns — all on schedule.
