Missed mechanicmushrooms unsoaked, Hoardmonger wipe at 0.7%groupMissed dispelCryo Surge left on the DPSHoly PaladinTipStep on Rotten Mushrooms until the Hoardmonger dies

12 of 13 deaths had a fix: unsoaked mushrooms, Cryo Surge left on DPS, and a Frozen Tempest fought outside the eye.

12 of the 13 deaths had a fix, and most of them were cheap. With the Hoardmonger at 7%, only Demo Lock stepped on mushrooms, and 3 Putrid Bursts killed Holy Paladin, Arcane Mage and Hyporock 0.2 s before he died. On the trash, Demo Lock stood in the wind 50 yd behind the group (12:20), Arcane Mage sat 16 s in a Glacial Tomb nobody broke (13:59), and Cryo Surge ran out on Hyporock (14:35) and Demo Lock (16:45) while Cleanse was ready. On the Sentinel, Hyporock stood in the blizzard (20:17). Then a Raging Squall knocked 3 players out of the Frozen Tempest eye and Arcane Mage never came in. The key was out of time before that wipe.

How it went

  1. 8:02CascadeHoly Paladin, Arcane Mage and Hyporock in the same second, all to Putrid Burst. No defensive pressed in any of them.
  2. 12:20Demo Lock to Harsh Winds from Demo Lock. No defensive pressed.
  3. 14:00Arcane Mage to Rumbling Ward from Terra Rumbler. Prismatic Barrier, Alter Time 2 times and Healthstone in the window.
  4. 14:36Hyporock to Cryo Surge from Glacial Revenant. No defensive pressed.
  5. 16:46Demo Lock to Harsh Winter from The Winter Squall. Dark Pact in the window.
  6. 20:17Full wipeHyporock, Holy Paladin, Arcane Mage, Demo Lock and Blood DK in 39 s, to Blizzard's Wrath, Frozen Tempest and Melee. Hyporock went first. 3 of 6 with no defensive pressed.
  7. 21:03The key was dropped 21:03 in, with 7:51 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Hoardmonger: step on every Rotten Mushroom until he is dead. One skipped set killed 3 people with him at 0.7%.
  2. Holy Paladin: Cleanse Cryo Surge off a DPS as soon as it lands, and aim Blessing of Freedom at tombed teammates (all 8 went on yourself).
  3. Kill Terra Rumblers first, then the Avatar of Determination. Tonight each Rumbler lived 2 to 3.5 min; this morning about 1 min.
  4. Sentinel: kill a Shivercore in the blizzard from range, and be stacked on the boss before Frozen Tempest's 4 s cast ends, clear of the Raging Squall.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Where the tables are wrong for this run

Demo Lock's 12:20 killing blow reads "Harsh Winds from Demo Lock". Harsh Winds is the wind in the open stretch before the Sentinel, logged as self-cast. Pull 3's "healer 174 yd away" is stale: Holy Paladin was 23 yd behind the tank, but the tool reads position only from casts. Arcane Mage's "never pressed: Ice Block" is Ice Cold, which replaces it and was pressed 5 times. Blood DK's last death shows 1,792,779 melee, but the tool counts every swing twice, so it is about 0.9M. The 3 deaths at 8:02 cost the 45 s penalty but almost no run back: all 3 respawned at a checkpoint 50 yd from the boss and were with the group 7 s later.

Against this morning's timed +16 (both combat logs)

Same dungeon and level this morning, Hyporock with a different group, timed with 3 deaths. Damage per player was about the same (250k to 274k then, 225k to 266k tonight), so the gap is kill order and mechanics. Terra Rumblers lived 51 to 62 s then and 123 to 217 s tonight, and Rumbling Ward did 8.8M then against 45.0M tonight. Cryo Surge: 5 of 7 dispelled within about 2 s, against 10 of 17. Winter's Shroud: 0 of 16 casts finished, against 4 before tonight's wipe. At tonight's Sentinel pull the timer had about 11:48 left. This morning's group used 14:33 from the same pull.
