> **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:** Missed mechanic: Explosive Totem hit too late on Zanazal (Ele Shaman, Demo Lock)

**Tip:** Eternal Flame yourself right after a Barrel Through soak

## The second Explosive Totem was hit too late, and its blast killed Demo Lock and the healer on Zanazal.

The key ended on Zanazal, the last Council boss. When his second set of totems landed, Ele Shaman and Demo Lock kept casting at him for most of the Explosive Totem's 9 s fuse. It went off with its shield a fifth short of breaking. The blast killed Demo Lock and Holy Priest, and the tank and Ele Shaman followed.

Hyporock was already dead, caught by a Barrel Through and an Arc Lightning back to back. No battle res was left. One had gone on Hyporock at Mchimba, and two on Demo Lock, who accepted the first just as a Barrel Through landed. Even with a clean Council from there, the finish projects to within about 20 s of the timer.

**What to change**

1. Kill the Explosive Totem first the moment Call of the Elements finishes, with Zanazal kept near the middle so it is in range.
2. Don't cast or accept a battle res while Barrel Through is winding up.
3. Hyporock: move Hand of Reckoning off F2, beside the F1 Rebuke macro.
4. Hyporock: on Zanazal, a Barrel Through share plus one Arc Lightning is more than your health, so Eternal Flame yourself right after the soak.

## How to improve

**Blood DK — Blood DK**

Keep: Totems and battle res. You did the most damage of anyone to both Explosive Totems, and you cast every battle res in the key. Change: press Raise Ally after a Barrel Through lands, not while Aka'ali winds it up. Your res on Demo Lock went out with the charge 2 s from landing, and Demo Lock died to it again. Waiting would have left a res for Hyporock on Zanazal.

**Holy Priest — Holy Priest**

Keep: Healing through the Council. You covered 103% of the damage that needed an outside heal, near the top of Arbiter's scale. The blast that killed you hit for more than your full health. There is nothing for you to change from this key.

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Kicks. You stopped 14 casts, more than Arbiter expects from a dps, and cleared each Kula bleed fast. Change: move Hand of Reckoning off F2 before your next key. F2 sits beside your F1 Rebuke. At 16:53 a taunt hit Mchimba just before your Rebuke, and his next swing killed you. Stray taunts went out in 7 of your recent keys, nearly always beside a Rebuke. That death used a battle res the Council needed later.

**Demo Lock — Demo Lock**

Keep: Top damage. Your damage was 116% of the other damage dealers' median, the best in the group. Change: accept a battle res only after the charge lands when you are dead and Aka'ali is winding up Barrel Through. You came back 14 ms before the charge hit and died again at once. That used a second battle res inside 8 s, and none was left when Hyporock died. Waiting saves the second res.

**Ele Shaman — Ele Shaman**

Keep: Poison Nova kicks. You kicked Zanazal's Poison Nova 3 times, and Reincarnation saved a run back on the first pull. Change: swap to the Explosive Totem as it lands when Zanazal finishes Call of the Elements. You were in range of the second one, but your first cast at it started 6 s after it appeared. It blew up a fifth short of breaking its shield. Killed in time, it never goes off.

### As a group

After the last totem of a set dies, bring Zanazal back to the middle of the room, clear of the beaten Kula, whose spin still hits. The group had drifted east to finish the first Torrent Totem, and the second Explosive Totem spawned on the far side, out of Demo Lock's range. When Call of the Elements finishes, everyone in range hits the Explosive Totem first. Nobody casts or accepts a battle res while Barrel Through is winding up. Heroism went out once, on the first pull. It was ready again before Mchimba, and neither Mchimba nor the Council got it.

## Deaths

8 deaths in 5 separate incidents. The cascade at 25:50 (3 deaths in 8s) was the big one.

## Notes

### Where the grader is wrong for this run

Holy Priest shows 0 deaths, but died to the totem blast at 25:50. A Holy Priest turns into Spirit of Redemption instead of dying, and the key was abandoned before any death line was logged. The report splits the Council into one pull per boss and prices the Zanazal one as a 2:33 wipe; it was one fight. Blood DK's interrupt score of 63 assumes a tank stops twice what a dps does, and Blood DK's 13 stops were second only to Hyporock's 14. The key stopped at the third boss, so every axis describes an unfinished run.

### The totem, and the timer

The second Explosive Totem's shield held 1.16M and took 927k before it blew. During its 9 s cast Ele Shaman and Demo Lock put 1.77M into Zanazal, and the Thundering Totem's interrupt caught all three casters 1 s before the blast. Zanazal had 36% left and was losing 0.88% a second with five alive, so he dies near 26:22. Scaling the 09-26 timed +16's walk and Dazar by how much longer this group's first two bosses took (19% and 16%) puts the finish near 33:13 on the timer with the 5 deaths so far, or 32:58 with Hyporock alive. The 10-03 +10 reached Dazar 17 s faster, which brings both under 33:00.

## 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.
