# Temple of Sethraliss +16 — ABANDONED

2:10 · -93% over the 32:00 par · 4 deaths · Tyrannical, Fortified, Xal'atath's Guile

> **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 5.5), from the combat log, the archive and Hyporock's recording.

**Why it failed:** Missed mechanic: Judgment broke disorient on both Fangs (Hyporock); Lack of heals: Healing Tide and Spirit Link unused (Resto Shaman)

## The first pull went badly, and the key was dropped 2 minutes in.

The first pull brought in Sandswept Hunters, Shrouded Fangs and Barbed Krolusks together. There were 4 deaths in it, and the log stops mid-pull.

Hyporock disoriented both Shrouded Fangs, then broke it with Judgment while the tank was around the corner. The Fangs killed him on the spot. After that, Serrated Charge bleeds and Ground Pound did most of the killing. Healing Tide Totem and Spirit Link Totem were never used.

**What to change**

1. Resto Shaman: Healing Tide Totem or Spirit Link Totem when several people drop low in one pull.
2. Prot Warrior: Rallying Cry when the party is low in a big pull.
3. Hyporock: leave disoriented mobs alone, keep Divine Shield for a lethal hit, and press Divine Protection on a Ground Pound cast.

## How to improve

**Prot Warrior — Prot Warrior**

Keep: Held the pull without dying. Your defensive buffs were up for almost the whole pull. Change: press Rallying Cry when the party is low in a big pull. It was never pressed in a pull with 4 deaths.

**Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman**

Keep: Kept most of the damage covered. You healed most of the damage that needed an outside heal in a very heavy pull. Change: press Healing Tide Totem when several people drop below half health in the same pull. Neither Healing Tide Totem nor Spirit Link Totem was pressed in a pull with 4 deaths.

**Windwalker Monk — Windwalker**

Keep: More than twice the damage of anyone else. You did more than twice the damage of the other damage dealers' median, kicked more than expected and did not die.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Saved the monk and the mage. Blessing of Protection took a Serrated Charge bleed off Windwalker Monk when he was 2 ticks from dead. Lay on Hands on Arcane Mage at low health was the right call too. Change: walk away from mobs you have disoriented once Blinding Light lands and the tank has moved on. Judgment broke it on both Shrouded Fangs, and they killed you in 2 seconds. The Divine Shield you pressed on the ride back then left you on Forbearance when Ground Pound landed, and Divine Protection was ready but not pressed.

**Arcane Mage — Arcane Mage**

Keep: Pressed defensives in the first death. Ice Cold and Prismatic Barrier were both up when the Krolusks' charge killed you. Change: press Greater Invisibility when Ice Cold is used and you are still taking heavy damage. You died twice, and Greater Invisibility was never pressed.

### As a group

Too little happened to judge the group. The pull that ended the key needed big cooldowns early, and the healer's two biggest were never pressed. If the first pull of a +16 goes this badly again, it is worth stopping to agree who presses what before going on.

## Deaths

4 deaths in 3 separate incidents. The cascade at 0:39 (2 deaths in 0s) was the big one.

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

- Lightning Bolt: 6 of 20 got through

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

- Ground Pound: 5/5 players, 15 hits, 4,280,885 (17% of party intake)
- Arrow Barrage: 3/5 players, 37 hits, 2,849,756 (11% of party intake)

- Slither Strike: 4/5 players, 15 hits, 1,672,289 (7% 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.
