**Tip:** Cleanse Toxins on Toxic Spores

## Timed comfortably, and Bonespike Slam and Raging Squall each hit one player all key and killed them both times.

This was a comfortable timed key, 17% under par. The deaths cost little and came from the bosses.

The Hoardmonger's Bonespike Slam and Sentinel of Winter's Raging Squall both have cast bars. Each hit exactly one player in the whole key, and each hit was a death. Demo Lock's second death was Hearty Bellow landing on top of Toxic Spores that had not been removed.

Toxic Spores is a poison, and only Hyporock's Cleanse Toxins and Resto Shaman's totem could remove it. It was left on players for a long time, which is the one thing the group can tighten.

**What to change**

1. Demo Lock and Resto Shaman: step out of Bonespike Slam and Raging Squall.
2. Hyporock: Cleanse Toxins on every Toxic Spores when it is ready.
3. Doryhunky: kick only casts nobody else has stopped.
4. Nothing to change on Hyporock's or Arcane Mage's damage.

## How to improve

**Doryhunky — Veng DH**

Keep: Defensives up all key. Your active mitigation was up for almost the whole key and covered every one of the worst moments. Change: press Disrupt only on a cast nobody else has already stopped. About a quarter of your kicks landed on casts that were already stopped, the same pattern as in your Kings' Rest.

**Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman**

Keep: Excellent healing. You covered more than all the damage that needed an outside heal and put back more of the party's worst moments than the scale expects. Change: step out of the Squall when Sentinel of Winter starts casting Raging Squall. It hit only you in the whole key, and it killed you. Astral Shift was never pressed.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Best grade of your night. Your damage was far above the other damage dealers, you did not die, and you stopped more casts than your Rebuke cooldown was expected to allow. Change: press Cleanse Toxins whenever Toxic Spores is on anyone and Cleanse Toxins is ready. Toxic Spores sat on players for a long time in this key, and you were the only player with a poison cleanse button.

**Arcane Mage — Arcane Mage**

Nothing important to change. You were casting for 90% of the time you were alive in combat, the lowest in the group, so there is a little damage in keeping the casts going while you move.

**Demo Lock — Demo Lock**

Your second death was Hearty Bellow on top of Toxic Spores, and Unending Resolve was not pressed in either death. About half of your kick presses landed on casts already stopped or on nothing.

### As a group

Clear Toxic Spores faster. Hyporock's Cleanse Toxins and Resto Shaman's Poison Cleansing Totem were the only ways to remove it, so both should go out whenever it lands. Call out Bonespike Slam and Raging Squall, since each was a one-shot on the only player it hit.

### The comp

The comp was fine. Poison removal was thin, with only Cleanse Toxins and the totem for Toxic Spores.

## Notes

### Where the numbers in the prose came from

In the log, Bonespike Slam (4 s cast) and Raging Squall (3 s cast) each have one damage event on a player in the whole key: Demo Lock and Resto Shaman. Toxic Spores (Poison, 12 s) was applied 15 times. Hyporock removed 4 with 5 Cleanse Toxins casts, the Poison Cleansing Totem removed 4, and the report shows 9 left up for 92 s in total.

## 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.
