> **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.

**Tip:** Don't double-kick; 8 of 19 Rebukes hit stopped casts

## Timed 2:54 under par. Both deaths came in one 12-second window on the opening pull, with Hyporock's kick off cooldown and unpressed.

A clean key spoiled by one pull. The same 22-mob opener had wiped the attempt they reset out of minutes earlier, and here it cost 2 deaths and 0:30.

From 2:16 to 2:28 two Earthwhisper Tenders alternated Earth Bolt: 6 completed, at 2:17.00, 2:19.44, 2:20.64, 2:23.06, 2:24.27 and 2:26.70. The 2:23.06 cast killed Fury Warrior and the 2:24.27 cast killed Resto Druid. Hyporock's Rebuke came off cooldown at 2:16.05 and he was in melee on both Tenders the whole time - Final Verdict landed on the casting one at 2:16.51, 2:20.28, 2:22.29 and 2:23.31. Hammer of Justice was also up, last used at 0:36.

He was holding the kick for Healing Breeze, which is the right priority and is why this is a judgement call rather than a miss. It did not pay here: both Tenders had already had theirs kicked, at 1:59.94 by Hyporock and 2:08.42 by Brewmaster Monk, and neither cast another one before dying.

**What to change**

1. Hyporock: on the opening pull, once a Tender's Healing Breeze has been kicked, spend Rebuke freely on its Earth Bolts. Both Tenders alive from 2:11 had already used theirs.
2. Hyporock: Stoneform on the Sentinel at the first Glacial Torment and again ~124 s later. It removes Magic and the boss casts on a 62-second clock.
3. Hyporock: when someone else is already kicking the heal, do not double up. 8 of 19 Rebukes landed on casts another player had stopped.
4. Nothing to change on cooldown use: Empowering Venom went out with Avenging Wrath 12 times out of 12, and mechanics scored 100 - no damage taken that comparable players avoided.

## How to improve

**Brewmaster Monk — Brewmaster**

The D- is mostly the grader. Arbiter cannot see Stagger, so your mitigation axis means nothing. What is real: you took Echoing Fury 10 times where the rest of the party averaged 1.5, worth 509,205 damage. That one is movement, and it is the only thing on your card to work on.

**Resto Druid — Resto Druid**

Best key of your night. You covered 80% of the damage that needed an outside heal and removed 23 debuffs. You died once at 2:24 to Earth Bolt alongside Fury Warrior. Nothing to change on healing.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

19 Rebuke presses produced 10 stops. 8 landed on a cast somebody had already stopped, and 3 of those left your kick down when the next cast got through. Damage was the 61st percentile for a +15 here, which is fine. Call the kick before you press it.

**Fury Warrior — Fury**

28 presses for 20 stops, with 8 landing on a cast already covered. Same note as Hyporock. Your 222,634 dps was the 48th percentile for this dungeon at +15, so there is room on output too.

**Arcane Mage — Arcane Mage**

Your damage was the 23rd percentile for a logged +15 here, the lowest of the three damage dealers. You also never pressed Remove Curse in a key that had 39 dispellable debuffs land. Both are worth a look before the next Nalorakk.

### As a group

Clean key, timed by almost 3 minutes. The one habit to fix is kick overlap. Between Hyporock, Fury Warrior and Arcane Mage there were 62 presses for 39 stops, and 7 of the wasted ones left somebody's kick down while the next cast landed. Assign an order rather than all pressing at once. Dispels were the other gap: 23 of 39 were removed and 15,792,955 damage came from the ones left up.

### The comp

The comp was fine and it timed the key. Curse cover existed twice over, through Resto Druid and Arcane Mage, and neither of them used it much. That is a habit rather than a comp hole.

## Deaths

2 deaths, all at once.

## Notes

### Healing Breeze, measured

Across this key and the 09-18 session, 37 Healing Breeze casts from 21 different Earthwhisper Tenders. It is not one each: 11 of the 21 cast it more than once, with repeats 4.8 s apart at the fastest, 15.8 s median, 35.2 s longest - about the same cadence as Rebuke itself. It is a heal-over-time on the whole pack, not a single-target heal; the 09-18 log has 98 applications and 338 ticks of it. In this key it never landed once: 7 casts, 6 interrupted, and the 7th fizzled without completing.

The group over-covers it. Healing Breeze was kicked 6 times out of 7 while Earth Bolt leaked 13 of 27. Twice Hyporock was the second kicker on the heal - at 2:01.05 he got it, and at 9:22.14 he pressed 0.28 s after Fury Warrior had already stopped it and got nothing. The rule that pays is taking the heal only when nobody else is on it, not holding for it.

### Glacial Torment is a Stoneform, not a dispel

Hyporock's largest damage source was Glacial Torment: 4.69M over 25 ticks, all three Sentinel casts running their full 16 s on him at 15:23.85, 16:25.82 and 17:27.83 - a hard 62.0-second cadence, reproduced at 61.9 and 63.1 s on 09-18. The debuff is 1235549, Magic, so Cleanse Toxins cannot touch it and the druid never dispelled him. Stoneform (20594) does remove Magic - its DB2 effect list is Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic and Bleed - and on a 120 s cooldown it clears two of the three. He did not press it once.

## 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.
