# The Blinding Vale +16 — TIMED

26:28 · +1, 12% under the 30:00 par · 8 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 and the archive.

**Tip:** Cleanse Toxins on Toxic Spew

## Timed despite a wipe, and Toxic Spew poison did 11M of damage while it sat on players uncleansed.

The group timed this 12% under par with one wipe in it. The wipe pull started with the healer far from the group and most of the big cooldowns still recharging. Nobody killed an enemy before everyone was dead, and it cost almost 2 minutes.

The steadier loss was debuffs left on the party. Toxic Spew is a poison and did more damage while it sat unremoved than anything else the group could have cleansed. Spore Spines and Bloodthorn Roots are magic and added more.

This was Hyporock's last key on the old rotation.

**What to change**

1. Blood DK: open pulls with the healer in range and cooldowns back.
2. Hyporock: Cleanse Toxins on every Toxic Spew when it is ready.
3. Resto Shaman: Purify Spirit on Spore Spines, and Purge Spiny Shield.
4. Hyporock: Divine Storm on 2 or more targets.

## How to improve

**Blood DK — Blood DK**

Your mitigation was up for about two thirds of the key and covered only half of the worst moments. Anti-Magic Zone was never pressed.

**Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman**

Purge was never pressed. The Spineshield Beetles' Spiny Shield is magic, and it absorbs damage and hurts whoever hits it.

**Arcane Mage — Arcane Mage**

Keep: Top damage in the key. Your damage was the highest in the group, in the 90th percentile on Warcraft Logs. Change: press Prismatic Barrier when Lightwarden Ruia's Lightfire lands on you. Lightfire ticked on you for 5 s with Grievous Thrash on top, and no defensive was pressed.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

On packs you pressed Final Verdict more often than in any key later that night. On 2 or more targets, Divine Storm is the press unless an Arbiter asks for Final Verdict, and the new rotation now shows that.

**Affli Lock — Affli Lock**

About a quarter of your kick presses landed on casts that were already stopped.

### As a group

Wait for the healer and the big cooldowns before the next pull. The wipe started with the healer far away and most of the group's defensives and healing cooldowns still recharging. Then clear the debuffs: Hyporock and the totem for Toxic Spew, Resto Shaman for Spore Spines and Bloodthorn Roots, and Purge for Spiny Shield.

### The comp

The comp was fine. Poison removal rested on Hyporock and the Poison Cleansing Totem.

## Deaths

8 deaths in 4 separate incidents. The wipe at 19:40 (5 deaths in 20s) was the big one.

## Notes

### Dispels and the old rotation, from the log

The report shows Toxic Spew (Poison) left up 15 times for 128 s and 11.2M damage. In the log Hyporock cast Cleanse Toxins 4 times (8 s cooldown) and removed 4, and the totem removed 2. On the rotation, this was the last key before rowB went live: Wake went out with Wings on 29% of Wings and Toll on 10%, against 86-100% in the rowB keys that night. About 17% of Final Verdicts went into packs of 3 or more with no Arbiter asking for one, against 3-11% in the later keys.

## 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.
