TipOn Nalorakk, save Divine Shield for an Echoing Maul

Timed with 3:24 to spare. Two deaths were one Raging Squall at 17:11; the third was two Echoing Maul circles at once.

The key was timed +1 at 28:36, 3:24 under par. Three people died and the group could afford it.

The big one was pull 7 at 17:11. Resto Shaman and Devourer DH died in the same second to Raging Squall from the Sentinel of Winter, 976k and 942k. Neither had a defensive up. Resto Shaman died in one hit.

Hyporock died at 26:30 on Nalorakk, standing in two Echoing Maul circles at once. Each circle is about 565k, two thirds of his health, and he went in at 72% after Echoing Fury. Divine Shield had run out 6 s earlier.

Damage was even across the three dealers. Kicks were the weak spot: 21 of 96 casts got through, mostly Earth Bolt and Lightning Bolt.

How it went

  1. 17:11CascadeResto Shaman and Devourer DH in the same second, both to Raging Squall. No defensive pressed by either.
  2. 26:30Hyporock to Echoing Maul from Nalorakk. No defensive pressed.
  3. 27:59Timed with 3:24 to spare.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Hyporock: on Nalorakk, save Divine Shield for a Maul cast when you are low, not for Echoing Fury. Fury can be healed through; one Maul circle at 72% cannot, and two circles cannot at any health.
  2. Resto Shaman and Devourer DH: Raging Squall from the Sentinel of Winter hits for about 950k. Have a defensive up before it or be out of it. Neither pressed one at 17:11.
  3. Kicks: Earth Bolt and Lightning Bolt got through 18 times. Hyporock had 9 kicks against 14 expected; Resto Shaman 4 against 16 and never used Purge.
  4. Nothing to change on damage. 250k, 255k and 274k is an even group.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Hyporock's death, from the combat log

Every Echo of Nalorakk casts Echoing Maul with the boss: 1, 3, 6, then 9 copies as the fight goes on. Each circle you stand in hits separately for about 565k. On the fatal cast at 26:30 there were 7 circles. Hyporock took two, 17 ms apart: 571k left him at 48k, 560k killed him.

Divine Shield went up at 26:16 for Echoing Fury and lasts 8 s. The Maul cast started at 26:26 and landed at 26:30, 6 s after the bubble ended. Divine Protection was off cooldown. It would not have saved two hits (905k after the 20% cut, against 620k of health) but it makes a single circle safe from any health.

Where the grader is off for this run

Resto Shaman's throughput 56 is a floor, not a grade. The key needed 146k/s of healing, more than any of the 55 keys the scale was built from, so nobody has covered that much. The D is one death plus that floor.

The damage axis for the three dealers is a rank. 250k, 255k and 274k are within 10% of each other, so the points it takes off describe the ranking, not a gap.
