# Den of Nalorakk +15 — ABANDONED

2:20 · -93% over the 32:00 par · 7 deaths · Fortified, Tyrannical, affix 147

> **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:** Low DPS: 79M in 72 s; timed groups did 123M+ (Blood DK, Arms Warrior); Bad pull: Matriarch pack pulled at 0:52 (Blood DK)

**Tip:** Step out of Rotten Ground

## Standard first pull, too little damage: 79M in the first 72 s, where both +16 groups today did 123M and 184M.

The pull was the normal opening. Both +16 groups today pulled the same Gatherers, Strikers, Tenders and Matriarch and lost nobody. This group removed 39% of it before the tank died at 1:38. Every damage slot was behind the +16 groups. The furthest behind were Blood DK at 118k a second and Arms Warrior at 236k, where the other two Blood DKs did 263k and 280k and every other DPS did at least 361k. Arms Warrior died first at 1:05 when the Matriarch came off the tank. Once Hyporock and Arms Warrior were dead, Healing Breeze put 50M back on the pack. Resto Shaman healed as much per second as this morning's Resto Shaman.

**What to change**

1. Blood DK: with this much damage, pull the Matriarch pack after the first pack is down, not at 0:52 with it at 70% to 89%.
2. Kill the Earthwhisper Tenders first and keep a kick for Healing Breeze; from 1:28 it healed the pack for 50M.
3. Hyporock: step out of Rotten Ground. One tick at 0:41 took you from 37% to 9% and cost your Divine Shield.

*Under each pull: who pulled, where the healer was (from their nearest cast), and which cooldowns were still recharging.*

- pull 1: opened by Arms Warrior (Melee on Keen); healer Resto Shaman 168 yd away (last seen 20 s earlier); on cooldown: Hyporock Blessing of Protection 334s
- pull 2: the enemy opened it: Melee on Hyporock; healer Resto Shaman not seen for 27 s, position unknown; on cooldown: Hyporock Blessing of Protection 244s, Lay on Hands 199s, Divine Shield 161s; Feral Druid Barkskin 29s; Blood DK Icebound Fortitude 65s, Dancing Rune Weapon 39s, Anti-Magic Shell 10s; Resto Shaman Spirit Link Totem 162s, Healing Tide Totem 64s

## What the group left up

**Casts that could have been interrupted and were not**

- Earth Bolt: 12 of 19 got through
- Healing Breeze: 1 of 3 got through

**Damage one player took that similar players did not (check the raw hits before acting on this; a spell only one role can take looks the same)**

- Feral Druid: 330,249 (mostly Spirit Link)

**Hit most of the party (not graded: everyone took it, so nobody is charged for it)**

- Rotten Supplies: 4/5 players, 18 hits, 1,956,186 (4% of party intake)

**Aimed at most of the party (the targeted player is not charged; hits on anyone else could have been avoided)**

- Razor Dive: 4/5 players, 61 hits, 6,371,222 (12% of party intake)

## Notes

### Where the tables are wrong for this run

Resto Shaman's F comes from throughput, and the report flags it: this pull needed 278,793 healing a second, more than 95% of the 55 keys the scale was built from. Their healing per second while alive, 217k, matched this morning's Resto Shaman on the same pull (226k). Hyporock's 1:22 death lists Lay on Hands as their defensive, but it went on Blood DK at 1:20.5. Melee in the death rows is counted twice, so Blood DK' 9.9M is about 5M. With 77 s of combat this is one pull, and none of it belongs in a trend.

### The same pull in the two +16s (all three combat logs)

First 72 s from first contact. Damage done: 79.4M here, 122.9M in tonight's +16 and 183.7M this morning, on mobs with more health. Per second alive: Feral Druid 492k, Hyporock 384k, Arms Warrior 236k, Blood DK 118k. The +16 DPS did 361k to 940k and their Blood DKs 263k and 280k. The Matriarch pack joined at 0:52 with the first pack at 70% to 89%, and both +16 groups pulled it earlier and killed it. The Tenders started 21 Earth Bolts here, against 4 and 11.

## Method

Each axis is scored 0 to 100 against what this run allowed, not against a fixed target. A player is only scored on things their spec can do. An axis that does not apply is left out and the other weights are scaled up. 100 means nothing was missed; a solid, even key usually lands near 75. Survival and mechanics carry no weight of their own: they start at 100 and take points off when something went wrong.
