**Why it failed:** Overpull: 14 mobs with the healer 135 yd back (Prot Paladin)
## The group proved it could clear the mobs it wiped on — pull 9 tried 14 at once with the healer 135 yards back and the cooldowns spent.
Voidscar Arena +15 was abandoned at 21:47 with 8:13 on the clock, but it was not lost to gear or damage. It was lost to one pull.
At 17:28, twelve seconds after Atroxus died, the tank pulled fourteen mobs at once — post-Atroxus pack A, pack B, and the patrolling Watchful Harrower — with the healer still 135 yards back at the boss's corpse and most of the party's defensive cooldowns spent on Atroxus. Eight deaths in forty-five seconds.
The proof that this was a decision and not a capability gap came at 19:03: the group re-engaged the same thirteen mobs, without the Harrower, and cleared them in 88 seconds with zero deaths. Same players, same mobs, same key level, a different pull.
The 09-15 group (same dungeon, same +15, different group except Hyporock) took the same stretch as eight then five, twenty-seven seconds apart, and timed the key in 26:46 with one death. The group had 12:45 left when Atroxus died; that group needed 9:38 for the same stretch. The margin was about three minutes, and pull 9 alone cost 3:35.
Fix the pull. The rest was already there.
**What to change**
1. Split the post-Atroxus pull: eight, then five, with twenty-seven seconds between. The group proved it could clear the mobs; the first pull was the decision that cost the key.
2. The tank waits for the healer. 135 yards is not a pull. Twenty-five seconds of Ghost Wolf is cheap; eight deaths are not.
3. Prot Paladin presses a defensive before Hulking Claw. The cast is 2.0 seconds and hits for 900k+. Divine Shield was available at 16:14.
4. Pause before chaining into a fresh pack after a long clear. The 20:35 pull lost the healer and a DPS. Ten seconds to let a cooldown come back costs less than the deaths it prevents.
5. Change nothing about the damage dealers. Arcane Mage 239k, Hyporock 234k, Arms Warrior 208k — within 10% of the timed group's three. The output was there.
