> **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:** Rebuke more; 8 presses in 26 minutes

## The two things that killed the +15 attempts, Magma Totems and the Overseer shields, were both handled.

This is the first +16 Voidscar in the archive, timed by 2:13 with 2 deaths, after four abandoned +15s between 09-17 and last night. It worked because the two levers that broke those keys were pulled.

All 9 Magma Totems died at a median of 1.7 seconds alive, the best in the archive, and Searing Magma came to 4.5M, 1.1% of the party's damage taken, against 1.3% on the +14 clear and 21.8% on the +15 that wiped there. All three Brutal Slams shields broke in 10 to 12 seconds, against 22 seconds on 09-17 when the second one was never broken at all. Nobody died in either stretch.

**What to change**

1. Put a second name on Lava Bolt. 18 of 36 leaked and the tank stopped none of them.
2. Kill the Devouring Brutalizer first. Dreadbellow was 29.2M, 7% of everything taken, and it cannot be kicked.
3. Feral Druid: press a defensive. Both deaths had nothing in the window, and the 5:18 one was 1.5M in 3 seconds.
4. Nothing to change on the Magma Totems or the Overseer shields. Both were the best this group has done and both are why the key timed.

*Axes marked ~ are ranked against the other players in this key, not measured on their own. Someone is always in the middle.*

## How to improve

**Blood DK — Blood DK**

Your C is mostly a tool gap, see the note below. You held Bone Shield 96.6% of a 27 minute key and a Blood Shield 67.1%, and neither counts toward the mitigation axis. The real thing to change is the kick. You pressed 18 times and landed 11, but not one of them on Lava Bolt, which is the cast that actually leaked, and 4 presses hit nothing casting.

**Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman**

Best sheet in the key once the numbers are read properly. This run demanded 171,144 healing per second and you covered 81%, which is 2nd of the 38 comparably hard healer keys in the archive, at item level 303 against 311 to 322 for the rest of that top ten. The C+ is a floor and the tool says so itself. One thing to change: Wind Shear went off 4 times in 26 minutes.

**Aug Evoker — Aug Evoker**

97th percentile for an Augmentation Evoker on this dungeon, 0 deaths, and Ebon Might on Hyporock 87% of the run. Nothing to fix on the support side. Two small ones: Renewing Blaze and Landslide were never pressed all key, and 3 of your 9 kick presses hit nothing casting. Landslide is a free stop on the Lava Bolt packs.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

348k, the 77th percentile of logged +16 Voidscar runs, and 0 deaths. The percentile is the honest number of the two, because it compares you against parses that also had support. Your gap is the kick. You pressed Rebuke 8 times in 26 minutes and 3 of those hit nothing casting, while 18 Lava Bolts got through. It is a 15 second cooldown in a key with 76 kickable casts.

**Feral Druid — Feral**

28 interrupt stops against the 10 your cooldown allowed, and 18 of the party's 40 landed kicks. Nobody else was close. The 2 deaths are the whole gap between a B and an A, and neither had a defensive in the window. Brutok's Smashing Charge did 1.5M in 3 seconds at 5:18, and at 27:22 you took 2.8M over 15 seconds with 2.0M of healing already coming in.

### As a group

The kick board is the one real gap. 18 of 36 Lava Bolts and 5 of 13 Mending Voids got through, which is 3.8M of damage taken and 4.4M of healing put back into the enemies. Feral Druid carried it with 18 landed interrupts against Resto Shaman's 2 and Hyporock's 4, and Wind Shear and Rebuke are both short cooldowns sitting idle. Put a second name on Lava Bolt. After that the biggest source left is Nether Dash on Taz'Rah, 43.4M and 10% of everything taken, landing on all five of you almost equally. The shades are the fight, not the boss.

### The comp

The Augmentation Evoker changed this key and it is worth saying plainly. Ebon Might sat on Hyporock 87% of the run and Prescience 72%, and his 348k is 38% above his best previous Voidscar number. This is the only Voidscar key in the archive with an Aug in it. Take the clear, but do not treat 348k as a baseline without one. The rest of the comp covered what this dungeon asks, including 5 interrupts and a dispel for everything except one Fire Spit.

## Notes

### The tank's mitigation score is a kit-list gap, not his play

Arbiter scores mitigation as uptime of the defensives listed in knowledge.PERSONAL_DEFENSIVES. For a Blood DK that set holds Icebound Fortitude, Vampiric Blood, Dancing Rune Weapon, Anti-Magic Shell and Rune Tap. It has no Bone Shield and no Blood Shield, which is where a Blood DK's mitigation actually comes from. Blood DK held Bone Shield 96.6% of the key and a Blood Shield 67.1%, and was graded on his emergency buttons alone at 27% of his sheet. Same shape as the Prot Warrior finding of 2026-08-26, which moved a tank from D to C once Shield Block and Ignore Pain were added.

### Two numbers on this page to read with care

Melee is still counted twice, so Blood DK's 178.1M of damage taken is really about 119.1M and the party's 423,890,263 is about 361M. Spell damage is unaffected. Separately, Nether Dash is filed under "the enemy chose the targets" and excused for all five, which is wrong on Taz'Rah. The cast carries no target and the lines can be walked out of. It was 43.4M, 10% of the party's intake, spread almost evenly across everyone, so read mechanics on any Taz'Rah key as unmeasured.

## 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.
