The Blinding Vale

**Dispel 100 — a perfect score, and the only one of its kind in 45 graded keys.** Arbiter does not score you against every dispellable debuff the dungeon applied; it scores you against what *one* dispeller could physically reach, given Cleanse's recharge and how much the debuffs overlapped. Thirty-eight landed, thirty were reachable, and you took all thirty.

Most of that was one spell. **Spore Spines went on the tank twenty times and you cleansed nineteen of them.** It is a stacking debuff — it re-applies and builds while it sits — so every cleanse reset a ramp rather than saving a fixed amount. The one instance you did not take ran 6.7 seconds and cost 5,436 damage, which is the correct measure of what missing it was worth.

**Activity 96 is the highest of your 48 keys.** This is the share of your time alive and in combat spent actually casting, with procs and passive ticks stripped out so a busy-looking spec cannot inflate it. Nineteen cleanses is nineteen global cooldowns spent on maintenance, and you still cast more consistently than in any key you have logged.

**Response 95** — whether your output rose when the party was in trouble rather than on average. Eighty million landed in the windows Arbiter marks as the worst of the run and you put back half of it. Fourth-best of 48.

**Throughput 76** is the one axis that reads ordinary, and it is worth saying plainly that it is not a fault here.

The axis divides your healing by the damage that actually *needed an outside heal* — after removing everything the party healed or shielded off itself, and everything that was overkill. Of the 159 million that met that bar you covered 77%. Across your 48 keys that ranks 22nd: squarely mid-pack, and well below the 87% you posted on the Voidscar +13 earlier tonight.

The obvious explanation is that a key where nobody dies does not demand full coverage, so the healer can afford to let health bars sit low. I checked that against the archive and **it is not true**: your ten deathless keys have a *higher* median throughput than your keys with deaths (78.8 against 74.5), and across all 48 the correlation between party deaths and your coverage is −0.19 — slightly the wrong way for that theory. So 76 is a real, ordinary reading and not an artefact of the key being clean.

What it means in practice: the party ran at lower health than in your best keys, and it never mattered, because nothing in this dungeon put a spike through a low bar. On a key with a one-shot in it that margin is what gets spent.

**Interrupts: 79 of 99 stoppable casts stopped, 80%.** That is a decent group number hiding an uneven one. By expected share — how many each player should have taken, given what they had and how long they were on the mob — Arms Warrior took 21 against about 16 expected, the tank 44 against 32, Arcane Mage 9 against 16, and **Demo Lock took 1 against about 16**. That single gap is most of the 20% that got through, and it is what drops his key to a C despite the highest damage in the party.

The leaks themselves: Lightspore Shot 11 of 18 through, Light Bolt 8 of 45, Seed Shot 1 of 12. You have no interrupt on the bar, so this axis is dropped for you rather than scored — your four crowd-control stops are counted in the group total but the grade is not yours to carry.

**The dispels that did get through** were the two rounds of Toxic Spew, and they are the honest remainder. On the second round four players held it for the full nine seconds each — 3.3 million of the 3.9 million that came through all key. Cleanse recharges in about nine seconds, so one dispeller reaches one of those four. This is why the axis gave you 100 and still shows damage coming through: it was not reachable by you. The tank cleansed himself twice, which is the lever that exists.

Worth flagging because it is prominent in the run table. The figure for damage from dispellable debuffs left up was being computed wrongly, and it was fixed while this key was being written up.

It used to sum the debuff's damage across the **whole key**, to every player who ever had a counted instance of it, and charge all of that to the instances that were missed. So a debuff you cleansed nearly every time reported the cost of the cleansed ones too — and the better the healer, the worse it read. On this key Spore Spines showed **4,768,593** against the one instance left up; the true cost of that 6.7-second window is **5,436**. The run's headline went from 10,188,798 to 3,876,300.

No grade moved — this number is reported, never scored — but if you compared it against anything earlier tonight, that is why it differs.
