# Temple of Sethraliss +17 — ABANDONED

27:57 · -13% over the 32:00 par · 14 deaths · Fortified, Tyrannical, 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.

**Why it failed:** Avoidable damage: 9 deaths before Avatar, 4 of them Ele Shaman's (Ele Shaman); Avoidable damage: stood in a Guardian's eruption, Avatar wipe (Hyporock)

## 9 deaths before Avatar used up the timer, and the wipe began when a dying Guardian's blast killed Hyporock.

Deaths before the last boss added 2:15 to the timer. That left less time than the clean Avatar kill in the next key took. Most of them came in the serpent pull after Adderis, where Lightning Serpents that left the tank for a few seconds caused 3 deaths. Two of those players then died again to a Sandswept Marksman's Volley on the run back. Ele Shaman died 4 times before Avatar.

At Avatar, the first Corrupted Guardian erupted 4 s after it died. Everyone except Hyporock had moved away. The healer was frogged by Latent Hex at the same moment, and the rest of the group died within 20 s.

**What to change**

1. Everyone: walk 20 yd away from a Corrupted Guardian as soon as it dies.
2. Hyporock: if you can't get clear, Divine Shield through the eruption.
3. Guardian Druid: go into Avatar with a Survival Instincts charge ready.
4. Ele Shaman: stay out of Spark Step and Merektha's Burrow.

## How to improve

**Guardian Druid — Guardian**

Keep: Kicks and Ironfur. You stopped 26 casts and kept Ironfur up almost the whole key. Stampeding Roar went out just after the Guardian died, which helped everyone else get clear of the eruption. Change: press Survival Instincts before pulling Avatar. The last charge went on the trash 52 s before the pull. Tainted Strike's stacks then ticked you down while the healer was frogged, with nothing left to press. A charge in hand covers the first Guardian's Tainted Strikes.

**Mistweaver Monk — Mistweaver**

Your death came from Hex Muck after the rest of the group was down. Latent Hex went to the healer every time tonight, so it is not something to dodge. Nothing to change.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Damage, Merektha and quick hands. Your damage was 104% of the other DPS's median. On Merektha you held Wings for the snakes, as your plan says. With a spender ready, you pressed it faster than on any earlier logged key. Change: walk out of the eruption as soon as a Corrupted Guardian dies at Avatar. The corpse erupts 4 s after death and hits everyone close by. You were 5 yd away when it hit for more than twice your health. Divine Shield was ready, and you bubbled the same blast in an earlier Temple key. Your death started the wipe, so stepping out keeps the pull alive.

**Arms Warrior — Arms**

Keep: Damage and kicks. Your damage matched the group's median, and you stopped more casts than expected. Change: press Die by the Sword when a serpent or viper turns to you in the serpent pull. It was ready from early in that pull and never pressed. Your second death there took 2.5 s of melee from a viper and a serpent.

**Ele Shaman — Ele Shaman**

Keep: Most stops in the group. You stopped 27 casts, more than anyone else in the key. Change: stay out of Spark Step when the Static Anomalies are up in the Agitated Nimbus pull. Spark Step hit you 28 times while nobody else took more than a handful, and it set up your death there. Merektha's Burrow also hit only you, for a full health bar.

### As a group

The serpent pull after Adderis cost the most. A Lightning Serpent's swing plus its Stormcall kills anyone but the tank at this level, and twice a serpent turned off Guardian Druid for a few seconds. Each serpent was back on Guardian Druid within 5 s, but the first swing had already landed. The log does not show why they turned, so watch the serpents as they arrive. On a run-back, let the group lead past the Sandswept Marksmen, since their Volley one-shot both players who ran back alone.

### The comp

The comp covered Temple's dispels, Bloodlust and battle res. Nothing about it made this key harder.

## Deaths

14 deaths in 8 separate incidents. The wipe at 27:18 (5 deaths in 20s) was the big one.

## Notes

### Where the time went

At the Avatar pull the timer read 29:02 (26:47 played plus 9 deaths at 15 s), leaving 2:58 of the 32:00. In the next key, the same route at +16 took 3:03 for Avatar alone, at lower health. Against that +16: Adderis to Merektha took 1:04 longer here (the serpent pull and its run-backs), Merektha to Galvazzt 0:31 longer, and Galvazzt to Avatar matched within 4 s. Arbiter counts the Avatar pull as a WIPE costing 2:00, but the key could not be timed by then.

### The eruption, from positions in the log

Both times it hit someone (here and on 09-27), Unstable Corruption (1302761) landed 4.0 s after the Guardian died. Here, at that moment, Mistweaver Monk, Ele Shaman, Arms Warrior and Guardian Druid stood 22 to 25 yd from the corpse and Hyporock 5 yd. In the +16, all 5 players were 22 yd or more away 4 s after both Guardian deaths, and nothing was logged. On 09-27 it reached Hyporock inside Divine Shield. Divine Shield was ready here; Forbearance had ended at 23:05.

## 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.
