# Voidscar Arena +16 — TIMED 25:50 · +1, 14% under the 30:00 par · 1 death · Fortified, Tyrannical, Xal'atath's Guile *2026-10-03 · 17:49 · `WoWCombatLog-100326_174821.txt`* > **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:** Divine Shield on the first Void Cascade hit ## Clean +16, timed with minutes to spare; the only death was a Void Cascade double hit on Charonus. This was a well-played key. The group stopped 99% of the casts it could reach, and the timer came in under par by a wide margin. Very little time went to walking, and no pull wiped. It was also a heavy key for the healer. The party needed more healing per second than almost every key the healing scale was built from, and Resto Shaman kept everyone alive through it. The only death was Hyporock on Charonus. Void Cascade hit him from full health, then hit again a second later. Nobody else was touched by a cascade all key. Divine Shield was ready and got pressed just after he died. That death cost 15 s, which this key could easily afford. **What to change** 1. Hyporock: Divine Shield the moment the first Void Cascade hit lands 2. Group: give Lava Bolt casters a named kicker on each pack 3. Frost DK: use Anti-Magic Zone on Dreadbellow and Unstable Singularity 4. Nothing to change on pace or interrupts overall; both were excellent ## The run | | | |---|---| | on the clock | **25:50** — 24:27 fighting | | deaths | **1** — timer agrees (1.02 implied) | | party damage taken | **422,481,377** — 287,912/s while fighting | | enemies killed | **138** | | interrupts | **91/104** — 88% | | dispels | **1/1** — 0 came through | ## Players | player | spec | role | ilvl | DPS | HPS | taken/s | deaths | grade | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|:---:| | Brewmaster Monk | Brewmaster | tank | 326 | 169,968 | 90,151 | 110,599 | 0 | **B-** 72 | | Resto Shaman | Resto Shaman | heal | 324 | 35,943 | 142,126 | 42,347 | 0 | **B-** 75 | | Arms Warrior | Arms | dps | 307 | 251,954 | 18,569 | 48,131 | 0 | **B** 78 | | Hyporock | Ret Paladin | dps | 326 | 277,878 | 12,044 | 39,808 | 1 | **B-** 76 | | Frost DK | Frost DK | dps | 325 | 247,511 | 7,439 | 32,974 | 0 | **B-** 74 | *Gear and M+ score are from Raider.IO.

*Axes marked ~ are ranked against the other players in this key, not measured on their own. Someone is always in the middle.* ## How to improve **Brewmaster Monk — Brewmaster** Keep: Damage and pace. Tank damage landed near the top of logged +16 runs of this dungeon, and you kept the key moving with almost no walking. Change: spend Energy sooner when Keg Smash and Breath are on cooldown and Energy is near full. Most of the Energy you generated was lost to sitting at the cap. Each wasted point is a Tiger Palm that never happened, and that also means less Brew cooldown reduction. **Resto Shaman — Resto Shaman** Keep: Carried a brutal healing load. This key needed more outside healing than nearly any key on the scale, and nobody died to running out of health over time. Keep doing what you did. Change: bank a cooldown for the spike windows right before Dreadbellow and Savage Leap packs land. In the worst few seconds of each pull you healed back under half of the damage. Throughput was excellent overall, so this is about when you spend, not how much. **Arms Warrior — Arms** Keep: Solid despite the gear gap. You were about 18 item levels behind the rest of the group and still did damage close to the other two DPS, with good kicks. Change: close the item level gap between keys. The output was fine for your gear. The fastest gain is upgrades rather than anything in the rotation. **Hyporock — Ret Paladin** Keep: Top damage, cooldowns lined up. Highest damage in the group, and every Wings had a trinket and Execution Sentence inside it on all three bosses. Change: press Divine Shield the moment a Void Cascade hit lands on you. The first hit took you from full to a sliver, and the second one killed you a second later. Bubble went in just after the death. One press keeps you alive and saves the battle res. **Frost DK — Frost DK** Keep: Most interrupts in the group, and the battle res. You landed more kicks than anyone, and the battle res on Hyporock got the group back to full on the last boss. Change: press Anti-Magic Zone when Dreadbellow or Unstable Singularity is about to hit the whole group. AMZ was never pressed. Both of those land on all five players and are magic damage AMZ can soften. ### As a group Keep the interrupt rotation as it was. The one gap was Lava Bolt, where about a fifth of the casts got through. Assign one kicker to the Lava Bolt casters on each pack so it does not fall to whoever is free. On Charonus, call out Void Cascade so the melee can step away or use a personal before it lands. ### The comp The comp was fine. Shaman, Monk, Paladin and DK covered every dispel and kick this dungeon asks for, and there was a battle res and bloodlust. ## Deaths 1 death. ### Death · 24:19 · Hyporock · dps **24:19 · Hyporock · dps** — killed by **Void Cascade** for 973,413 from Charonus took **2,064,918** · in **9.1 s** · health at the start **78%** · before the last hit **6%** | when | what | damage | |---:|---|---:| | 8.9s before | Cosmic Crash | 9,935 | | 0.9s before | Void Cascade | 1,081,570 | | at death | Void Cascade (killing blow) | 973,413 | **no defensive pressed** · 267,858 healed · Resto Shaman, Brewmaster Monk ## Where the time went | | seconds | | |---|---:|---| | combat | 1,467 | 24:27 | | routing | 65 | 1:05 | | death penalty | 15 | 0:15 | | lead in | 10 | 0:10 | Costliest pulls — *Cost is the time the pull lost: a wipe loses the whole pull, a pull that held loses only its deaths.* | pull | at | fighting | enemies | deaths | taken | cost | |---:|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | 7 | 22:34 | 3:08 | 11 | 1 | 55,665,357 | 0:15 | *Under each pull: who pulled, where the healer was (from their nearest cast), and which cooldowns were still recharging.* - pull 7: opened by Brewmaster Monk (Keg Smash on Charonus); healer Resto Shaman 10 yd away (last seen 18 s earlier); on cooldown: Hyporock Lay on Hands 50s, Blessing of Protection 19s; Brewmaster Monk Fortifying Brew 72s ## Defensives · Hyporock | button | presses | most the cooldown allowed | on you | on others | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Divine Protection | 18 | 25 | 18 | 0 | | Divine Shield | 6 | 8 | 6 | 0 | | Lay on Hands | 6 | 10 | 4 | 2 | | Blessing of Protection | 4 | 6 | 4 | 0 | | Blessing of Sacrifice | 6 | 13 | 0 | 6 | | Health potion | 4 | 6 | 4 | 0 | | Stoneform | 6 | 13 | 6 | 0 | - Divine Protection: 3 of 18 went out before a real hit. - Divine Shield: 5 of 6 blocked hits, cleared a debuff or met real damage. - Stoneform: 6 of 6 blocked hits, cleared a debuff or met real damage. - Lay on Hands on others: Resto Shaman at 24% (1:01), Frost DK at 21% (4:49). **To look at** - Divine Protection met little damage 9 of 18 times: 2:14, 3:26, 4:35, 11:44, 14:32, 16:43, 17:56, 19:24, 24:02. - Lay on Hands on yourself at 56% health (19:34) met little damage.

## What the group left up **Casts that could have been interrupted and were not** - Lava Bolt: 11 of 53 got through - Demoralizing Shout: 2 of 11 got through **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)** - Frost DK: 722,386 (mostly Forked Lightning) **Party damage eaten by shields on the enemies: 0.6% of what was dealt never landed (not graded)** - 8,881,328 absorbed of 1,516,858,490 landed - Brutal Slams: 8,881,328 - on: Brutal Overseer (8,881,328) **Hit most of the party (not graded: everyone took it, so nobody is charged for it)** - Dreadbellow: 5/5 players, 460 hits, 33,137,738 (8% of party intake) - Unstable Singularity: 5/5 players, 1205 hits, 25,148,995 (6% of party intake) - Cosmic Crash: 5/5 players, 310 hits, 15,279,762 (4% of party intake) - Brutal Slams: 5/5 players, 78 hits, 14,258,405 (3% of party intake) - Toxic Aura: 5/5 players, 257 hits, 12,893,005 (3% of party intake) - Dark Bloom: 5/5 players, 26 hits, 11,407,964 (3% of party intake) **Aimed at most of the party (the targeted player is not charged; hits on anyone else could have been avoided)** - Nether Dash: 5/5 players, 389 hits, 35,039,450 (8% of party intake) - Savage Leap: 4/5 players, 253 hits, 33,713,740 (8% of party intake) - Forked Lightning: 4/5 players, 37 hits, 6,716,604 (2% of party intake) - Lava Bolt: 4/5 players, 14 hits, 4,875,803 (1% of party intake) ## Notes ### Frost DK's over-exposure line is an artifact The tool says Frost DK took Forked Lightning 9 times while peers took it 0 times. Forked Lightning (1311754) from Raj'kess hits three players per cast. Counting raw hits by spell id in the log: Hyporock was also hit 9 times, Arms Warrior 6, and Brewmaster Monk several times. The other players got this excused as boss-targeted, but Frost DK did not. The 1.2-point mechanics deduction can be ignored. ### The Void Cascade death, from the log Hyporock was at full health (1,155,623) at 24:16. Void Cascade (1222755) hit for 1,081,570, then for 973,413 at 24:18, which killed him. Those two hits are the only Void Cascade damage on any player in the key. Divine Shield was off cooldown and was pressed 16 ms after the death. Divine Protection had been used 15 s earlier and had already ended. Lay on Hands had been used on himself 28 s earlier. ## 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. *Generated 2026-10-03T18:18:38 · schema 11 · written analysis: Claude (Opus 5.5), from the combat log and the archive*
