**Tip:** Sidestep Brutok's Smashing Charge

## Timed with more than 3 minutes to spare, and only Hyporock died.

This was a clean key. Every boss died on the first try, and the group stopped 89% of the enemy casts it could reach. The biggest pull of the key killed 58 enemies without a death.

The one death was Hyporock, caught in Brutok's charge. It has a long cast and runs in a straight line, so it can be sidestepped.

**What to change**

1. Hyporock: step out of Brutok's charge path when he starts casting it.
2. Agree a kick order before each pack with casters, starting with Lava Bolt.
3. Doryhunky: check that Resto Shaman is close before you pull.

## How to improve

**Doryhunky — Veng DH**

Keep: Defensives up all key. Your defensive buffs were up for almost all of the key, including every heavy stretch of damage. Change: press Disrupt before each caster pack, call which caster you are kicking. 5 of your kicks landed on casts somebody had already stopped.

**Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman**

Keep: Healed everything that needed healing. You covered more than all of the damage that needed an outside heal, and nobody died to a gap in healing. Change: press Wind Shear on Lava Bolt when your kick is ready. Your kick stopped 3 casts all key, the fewest in the group.

**Arms Warrior — Arms**

Keep: Almost twice the kicks expected. You stopped 21 casts, far more than Arbiter expected from your kick, and you did not die.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Top damage in the group. Your damage was at the 81st percentile of logged +15 runs of this dungeon on Warcraft Logs. Change: step out of Brutok's charge when Brutok starts casting Smashing Charge. It charges in a straight line after a 3.5 s cast, and it hit only you.

**Ele Shaman — Ele Shaman**

Keep: Took no avoidable damage. Nothing hit you that the others in your role managed to avoid. Change: press Wind Shear on Lava Bolt, once the group has called who kicks which caster. 5 of your kicks landed on casts somebody had already stopped.

### As a group

There is little to fix. Lava Bolt got through 12 times. On top of that, 18 kick presses landed on casts somebody had already stopped. A kick order before each caster pack would tidy up both.

One pull started with Resto Shaman over 100 yards away. It went fine this time, but that is how Saturday's Murder Row key was lost.

### The comp

The comp was fine.

## Deaths

Costliest pulls — *Cost is the time the pull lost: a wipe loses the whole pull, a pull that held loses only its deaths.*

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

- pull 2: opened by Doryhunky (Felblade on Feral Saberon); healer Resto Shaman 30 yd away; on cooldown: Ele Shaman Astral Shift 85s, Earth Elemental 49s; Arms Warrior Rallying Cry 33s, Spell Reflection 14s, Impending Victory 1s; Hyporock Blessing of Protection 161s, Divine Shield 101s, Divine Protection 6s; Resto Shaman Healing Tide Totem 103s

- Lava Bolt: 12 of 44 got through
- Shadowbolt Volley: 1 of 5 got through
- Mending Void: 1 of 14 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)**

- Doryhunky: 526,906 (mostly Macestorm)

**Party damage eaten by shields on the enemies: 0.6% of what was dealt never landed (not graded)**

- 8,036,333 absorbed of 1,372,891,470 landed
- Brutal Slams: 8,036,333
- on: Brutal Overseer (8,036,333)

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

- Dreadbellow: 5/5 players, 372 hits, 27,764,127 (8% of party intake)
- Unstable Singularity: 5/5 players, 1343 hits, 26,999,843 (8% of party intake)
- Cosmic Crash: 5/5 players, 380 hits, 18,437,055 (5% of party intake)

- Poison Splash: 5/5 players, 101 hits, 10,640,720 (3% of party intake)

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

- Nether Dash: 5/5 players, 406 hits, 37,819,018 (11% of party intake); 1 of 26 hits were on somebody other than the target: Doryhunky 1
- Savage Leap: 4/5 players, 203 hits, 27,798,731 (8% of party intake)
- Forked Lightning: 3/5 players, 33 hits, 6,999,185 (2% of party intake)
- Lava Bolt: 3/5 players, 12 hits, 4,243,582 (1% of party intake)

## 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.
