TipDon't double-kick; 8 of 19 Rebukes hit stopped casts

Timed 2:54 under par. Both deaths came in one 12-second window on the opening pull, with Hyporock's kick off cooldown and unpressed.

A clean key spoiled by one pull. The same 22-mob opener had wiped the attempt they reset out of minutes earlier, and here it cost 2 deaths and 0:30.

From 2:16 to 2:28 two Earthwhisper Tenders alternated Earth Bolt: 6 completed, at 2:17.00, 2:19.44, 2:20.64, 2:23.06, 2:24.27 and 2:26.70. The 2:23.06 cast killed Fury Warrior and the 2:24.27 cast killed Resto Druid. Hyporock's Rebuke came off cooldown at 2:16.05 and he was in melee on both Tenders the whole time - Final Verdict landed on the casting one at 2:16.51, 2:20.28, 2:22.29 and 2:23.31. Hammer of Justice was also up, last used at 0:36.

He was holding the kick for Healing Breeze, which is the right priority and is why this is a judgement call rather than a miss. It did not pay here: both Tenders had already had theirs kicked, at 1:59.94 by Hyporock and 2:08.42 by Brewmaster Monk, and neither cast another one before dying.

From the write-up

19 Rebuke presses produced 10 stops. 8 landed on a cast somebody had already stopped, and 3 of those left your kick down when the next cast got through. Damage was the 61st percentile for a +15 here, which is fine. Call the kick before you press it.

How it went

  1. 2:23CascadeFury Warrior and Resto Druid in 1 s, both to Earth Bolt. Fury Warrior went first. No defensive pressed by either.
  2. 28:44Timed with 2:54 to spare.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Hyporock: on the opening pull, once a Tender's Healing Breeze has been kicked, spend Rebuke freely on its Earth Bolts. Both Tenders alive from 2:11 had already used theirs.
  2. Hyporock: Stoneform on the Sentinel at the first Glacial Torment and again ~124 s later. It removes Magic and the boss casts on a 62-second clock.
  3. Hyporock: when someone else is already kicking the heal, do not double up. 8 of 19 Rebukes landed on casts another player had stopped.
  4. Nothing to change on cooldown use: Empowering Venom went out with Avenging Wrath 12 times out of 12, and mechanics scored 100 - no damage taken that comparable players avoided.

What the group changes together

Clean key, timed by almost 3 minutes. The one habit to fix is kick overlap. Between Hyporock, Fury Warrior and Arcane Mage there were 62 presses for 39 stops, and 7 of the wasted ones left somebody's kick down while the next cast landed. Assign an order rather than all pressing at once. Dispels were the other gap: 23 of 39 were removed and 15,792,955 damage came from the ones left up.

The comp

The comp was fine and it timed the key. Curse cover existed twice over, through Resto Druid and Arcane Mage, and neither of them used it much. That is a habit rather than a comp hole.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Healing Breeze, measured

Across this key and the 09-18 session, 37 Healing Breeze casts from 21 different Earthwhisper Tenders. It is not one each: 11 of the 21 cast it more than once, with repeats 4.8 s apart at the fastest, 15.8 s median, 35.2 s longest - about the same cadence as Rebuke itself. It is a heal-over-time on the whole pack, not a single-target heal; the 09-18 log has 98 applications and 338 ticks of it. In this key it never landed once: 7 casts, 6 interrupted, and the 7th fizzled without completing.

The group over-covers it. Healing Breeze was kicked 6 times out of 7 while Earth Bolt leaked 13 of 27. Twice Hyporock was the second kicker on the heal - at 2:01.05 he got it, and at 9:22.14 he pressed 0.28 s after Fury Warrior had already stopped it and got nothing. The rule that pays is taking the heal only when nobody else is on it, not holding for it.

Glacial Torment is a Stoneform, not a dispel

Hyporock's largest damage source was Glacial Torment: 4.69M over 25 ticks, all three Sentinel casts running their full 16 s on him at 15:23.85, 16:25.82 and 17:27.83 - a hard 62.0-second cadence, reproduced at 61.9 and 63.1 s on 09-18. The debuff is 1235549, Magic, so Cleanse Toxins cannot touch it and the druid never dispelled him. Stoneform (20594) does remove Magic - its DB2 effect list is Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic and Bleed - and on a 120 s cooldown it clears two of the three. He did not press it once.
