# Voidscar Arena +17 — ABANDONED

5:11 · -83% over the 30:00 par · 5 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.

**Why it failed:** Avoidable damage: 2 Ravenous Swarms killed Hyporock first (Hyporock); Avoidable damage: Swarm killed Disc Priest with Chitigoth at 4.5% (Disc Priest)

## Chitigoth was at 4.5% when the healer died; dodgeable Ravenous Swarms killed Hyporock first and then Disc Priest.

The retry killed every orb and Raj'kess, then wiped on Chitigoth in the arena. His Insidious Aura hits all five for about 350k every 2 seconds while it runs. Right after the first aura, two Ravenous Swarms caught Hyporock less than a second apart and killed him. Those swarms drift around the room and can be dodged. He came back on Affli Lock's soulstone with the second aura already running and died to its next two ticks. Enh Shaman died on that aura's last tick, and a swarm landing with a Savage Leap killed Disc Priest. Blood DK was alone when Chitigoth died 12 seconds later. Healing held up as well as in your other Chitigoth fights, so the swarm hits on Hyporock and Disc Priest decided it.

**What to change**

1. Hyporock: dodge the drifting Ravenous Swarms at Chitigoth
2. Hyporock: accept a battle res only after Insidious Aura ends
3. Group: call swarms at Chitigoth; nothing to change on Disc Priest's cooldown timing

## How to improve

**Blood DK — Blood DK**

Keep: A defensive in each aura. Vampiric Blood and Icebound Fortitude covered the first aura, and Dancing Rune Weapon with Anti-Magic Shell covered the second. You never died, and Chitigoth fell with you as the last one standing.

**Disc Priest — Disc Priest**

Keep: Cooldowns inside the auras. Evangelism, Radiance and both Pain Suppressions went out just before the first aura, and Ultimate Penitence went out during the second. Your mana never dropped below 91% (raw log). Change: press Movement when a Ravenous Swarm drifts toward you at Chitigoth. A swarm hit you for 380k in the same moment as a Savage Leap, with Chitigoth at 4.5%. Without the swarm you live on roughly 95k, and the group was seconds from the kill.

**Affli Lock — Affli Lock**

Keep: Top damage and a defensive in each aura. You did the most damage in the party, and you had Unending Resolve in the first aura and Dark Pact in the second.

**Enh Shaman — Enh Shaman**

Keep: Top orb damage again. You did the most damage to the orbs of anyone, and Astral Shift covered the second storm and the first aura (keydb).

**Hyporock — Ret Paladin**

Keep: Lay on Hands on the healer. In the first storm you put Lay on Hands on Disc Priest at about 30% health with pulses still to come, and she lived through it. You also did the second most damage to the orbs (keydb). Change: press Movement when Chitigoth casts Ravenous Swarm and the swarms start drifting. Two swarms hit you for 917k in under a second, against a 945k health bar. This was your fourth Chitigoth fight with swarm hits (keydb). Two swarms kill you from full health, and your death here started the slide.

### As a group

The arena went the same way as your last timed Voidscar Arena, with the same big pack first and then Chitigoth with the Raptor wave. Chitigoth lost health at about the usual rate until the first death (keydb), so the route and the damage were fine. Call the swarms out loud at Chitigoth and keep the melee moving with them. Take battle resurrections between auras. Hyporock came back at 60% health during one and lost most of it to the next tick.

## Notes

### Was it lack of heals

Not by the numbers. During Chitigoth Disc Priest healed 147k/s and absorbed another 55k/s. In your other five Chitigoth fights the Resto Shamans did 141k to 211k/s, totems included (keydb). Party intake was 436k/s, the lowest of those six fights. Her mana stayed at 91% or more. The fight ran 67 s against 47 to 55 s elsewhere because of the deaths, and two of the five deaths were swarm hits.

### Divine Protection at Raj'kess, again

DP went out at 0:42 on trash, so it was down for the first storm, where Lay on Hands and Divine Shield did the work. It then went out at 1:48, 10 s after that storm, and was refused at 2:17 after the second storm, which left Hyporock at 3%. Same pattern as the 15:24 run (106 s, refused at 129 s). After the soulstone he pressed Divine Storm at 20% with Divine Purpose up, where a free Word of Glory on himself was on offer.

## 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.
