> **AI-WRITTEN ANALYSIS** — The numbers come from the combat log. The verdict and notes were written by an AI reading them, and can be wrong in ways the numbers cannot. Written by Claude (Opus 5), from the combat log and the archive.
**Why it failed:** Bad pull: walked the Overseer into a 2nd Harrower (Blood DK); Wrong target: Overseer's shield broken too slowly (group)
**Tip:** Swap to the Overseer when Brutal Slams starts
## Survived the first Brutal Slams (13 s to break the shield), then walked the Overseer at 55% into a second Watchful Harrower; the second Slams killed four people in nine seconds.
Abandoned at 13:56 on the same pull that ended the 16:03 key, with three of the five players swapped since. Eight deaths, two minutes of penalty, had the in-game clock past par for the rest of the route, so leaving was right. It was on pace until then: this group reached the pull past Taz'Rah at 10:40, and the 09-15 +15 that timed with 3:14 to spare reached it at 10:15.
Whose fault: the pull, not any one player, but the decision that made it unrecoverable was the tank's. At 13:14 Blood DK had the Overseer pack down to the Overseer alone, at 55%, and between 13:00 and 13:16 walked him 40 yards toward the next pack. A second Watchful Harrower, a sentinel that sits 80 yards from the Overseer pack and comes to whoever nears it, engaged at 13:18; Brutal Slams started casting at 13:20. Arcane Mage, Ele Shaman, Hyporock and Resto Druid died between 13:27 and 13:36, and only 2.27M of the 4.03M shield had been taken off it when the log ends.
The first slams at 12:44 showed the same habit as the earlier key and got away with it: 13 seconds, 8.3M landing on the Brawler and Shaman while the shield stood, carried by Resto Druid's Ironbark, Convoke and Nature's Swiftness. Arcane Mage's first death, seven seconds into the pull, was the Harrower's arrival: it flies in from 65 yards out, and its first swing hit the player nearest its approach for 1.55M, nearly twice any DPS's health here.
**What to change**
1. Everyone: when Brutal Slams starts casting (two seconds), swap to the Overseer and stay on him until the shield pops. It is 4.03M, five seconds of this party. The first one took 13 seconds because two-thirds of the damage went into the Brawler and Shaman.
2. Blood DK: kill the Overseer where he stands. He was alone at 55% with nothing else alive, and the second Harrower sits 80 yards from that pack; it comes to whoever walks toward it.
3. Blood DK: Anti-Magic Zone for Sky Strike, Void Beam and Whirling Gust; Icebound Fortitude for the slams. Neither was pressed all key.
4. Watchful Harrower: it flies in from 65 yards out, seven to ten seconds after the pack is touched. Tank on that side of the group, burst held until it is picked up, and kill it first; 21% of the pull's damage came from it.
5. Resto Druid: Tranquility as the shield goes up, not after the second death. It was available from 12:38.
6. Ele Shaman: Astral Shift was off cooldown at 13:28. Arcane Mage: Ice Block or Alter Time on the arena pulse; gear is the ceiling otherwise, and 85% of the median at 303 is respectable.
