# Murder Row +16 — TIMED

28:04 · +1, 17% under the 34:00 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 and the archive.

**Tip:** On a single target, cash a FV Arbiter with Divine Storm

## Timed with minutes to spare, and the only 2 Whirlwinds that hit a player killed them.

This was a clean key. The group stopped every cast it could reach, and the casts that got through were more than five kicks could cover.

The deaths cost a minute and all of them can be taken back. Shivan Punisher's Whirlwind has a 4-second cast bar, the tank never took it, and it killed Feral Druid and Enh Shaman with one hit each. Hyporock died when both enraged Warehouse Workers turned on them just after Blessing of Protection ran out. Enh Shaman's second death came from standing in Felfire Bombardment at half health.

No single player cost this key anything close to its margin.

**What to change**

1. Feral Druid and Enh Shaman: step out of melee when a Shivan Punisher starts Whirlwind.
2. Hyporock: on single targets, answer a Final Verdict Arbiter with Divine Storm.
3. Feral Druid: Soothe Back to Work! on the Warehouse Workers.
4. Hyporock: when you hold Wings for a mechanic, press Wake and Toll at the start of the hold.

## How to improve

**Prot Warrior — Prot Warrior**

Nothing to change from this key. The one moment to look at is the Warehouse Worker pull. Both Workers left you for Hyporock at the same time while enraged, and Hyporock died 1.4 s later. If you see them turn, a taunt gets them back.

**Mistweaver Monk — Mistweaver**

Nothing to change. Your interrupt score is a rank against four players with shorter cooldowns (see the note), and the group stopped every cast it could reach.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Your death came 11 s after you put Blessing of Protection on yourself. That gave you Forbearance, so Divine Shield could not be pressed when the Workers turned on you, and Divine Protection was ready but not pressed. On Kystia you held Wings for the second stun, which was right. Press Wake and Toll at the start of a hold that long.

**Feral Druid — Feral**

In the Warehouse Worker pull the Keen Taskmaster enraged the Workers with Back to Work! and Soothe was not pressed. You are the only one in this group who can remove it.

**Enh Shaman — Enh Shaman**

Your second death was Felfire Bombardment landing while you were at half health, with Astral Shift still on cooldown. Step out of it straight away.

### As a group

The big pull after the Workers held 51 enemies, and both Whirlwind deaths happened in it. Call out Shivan Punisher casts so the melee step out. In the Warehouse Worker pull, Soothe Back to Work! as soon as it lands, since enraged Workers killed Hyporock in under 2 s.

### The comp

The comp was fine. It had Bloodlust, two battle resurrections, and more poison removal than Zaen's Heartstop Poison needs.

## Deaths

4 deaths in 4 separate incidents.

## Notes

### Read the interrupt scores as ranks

The interrupt axis ranks each player against the others in the key. Here the group stopped 190 of 190 reachable casts, and 297 kickable casts were more than five interrupts could cover. Mistweaver Monk's 54 and Enh Shaman's 67 describe who took the kicks, not casts that were missed.

### How the Zaen Divine Storm miss was counted

From the log: Divine Arbiter comes as two auras, 1306161 after a Final Verdict and 1306162 after a Divine Storm, and only the other spender uses it. On Zaen, 28 of Hyporock's 41 Final Verdicts were cast with 1306161 up. It expired unspent at about 81 s, 106 s and 148 s into the fight, and the last Divine Storm was at 57 s. The rest of the key was normal, at about 4% of Final Verdicts.

## 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.
