> **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.

**Why it failed:** Bad pull: DPS opened before Umbral Warriors were gathered (group)

## The first pull came apart in under a minute, with Umbral Warriors meleeing the healer and the damage dealers, and the key was reset.

This key lasted under 3 minutes. In the first pull, Umbral Warriors were meleeing Pres Evoker and the damage dealers. Pres Evoker died first, and three more players followed within 17 s. Doryhunky and Hyporock, who had been brought back, then died to Animated Guardians, and the group reset.

The next Kings' Rest, started 11 minutes later, was timed.

The grades on this page come from about 1 minute of combat and should not be compared with a full key.

**What to change**

1. Tank gathers the Umbral Warriors before the damage starts.
2. Nothing for Hyporock to change from a 3-minute key.

## How to improve

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Nothing to take from a key this short. Umbral Warriors killed you and the healer in melee.

### As a group

Let the tank gather the Umbral Warriors before anyone opens up, and keep them off the healer. The next attempt did this and was timed.

## Deaths

6 deaths in 2 separate incidents. The cascade at 0:54 (4 deaths in 17s) was the big one.

**What was landing while people died** — Counts only the seconds before each death, not the whole key.

## What the group left up

**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)**

- Hyporock: 738,581 (mostly Heavy Slams)
- Doryhunky: 580,401 (mostly Heavy Slams)

**Party damage eaten by shields on the enemies: 1.7% of what was dealt never landed (not graded)**

- 184,201 absorbed of 10,683,506 landed
- Bound by Shadow: 184,201
- on: Minion of Zul (184,201)

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

- Heavy Slams: 5/5 players, 91 hits, 2,898,440 (14% of party intake)

## Notes

### Why this key is kept but not counted

73 s of combat, so Arbiter files the run but leaves it out of every calibration set. Two players did almost no damage before they died, which usually means they had not joined the fight yet. Their F grades say nothing about how they play.

## 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.
