TipPress a defensive under Imprint; 4 deaths, none pressed

Timed by 2:18, with 151,619,049 of the party's damage eaten by barriers nobody removed.

One chest at 25:42, 2:18 inside the 28:00 par.

13.9% of everything the party swung for was absorbed by shields on the enemies, and 151,619,049 of that was Stormcloud Barrier in the storm gauntlet. It is a Magic buff. Purge and Spellsteal both strip it and this group had both.

The other cost was deaths: 6 of them, 1:30 of penalty, and 4 were Hyporock. Removing all six gives 24:12, still one chest. The barriers are the bigger number by a long way.

From the write-up

Four of the six deaths, and no defensive pressed in any of them. Two were Earthbound's Imprint grinding you down over 4 to 6 seconds, which is the kind you can see coming. 20 kicks was the joint best in the key, so the damage was not the issue.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Purge or Spellsteal the Stormcloud Barriers. 151 million of damage went into them.
  2. Assign Cinderbolt at the fire camp; 25 of 59 got through.
  3. Ret: press something. Four deaths, no defensive in any of them.

What the group changes together

Two things cost time. Cinderbolt got through 25 times out of 59 at the fire camp, and the storm gauntlet's Stormcloud Barriers were never removed. Both belong to the same two players, and the group has the kit for each. Inferno was another 45,702,856, 14% of everything taken, and that one is a radius stamp with no cast to stop, so it is a movement problem rather than a kick problem.

The comp

The comp was fine and, for once, precisely right for the dungeon: two Magic dispels against a dungeon whose biggest single number is a Magic shield.
