TipRebuke Cinderbolt when nobody else has called it

Timed for a +2 with a single death, the best key of the night.

The group beat the timer comfortably, and the game counted it as a +2. The only death was Devourer DH, to a Storm Warrior in the biggest pull of the key.

Holy Priest healed everything that needed healing and dispelled storm-cloud shields along the way. The shields took a smaller share of the group's damage than in any other finished Ruby Life Pools key in the archive. The one thing to tidy is kicks, since 32 presses landed on casts somebody had already stopped.

How it went

  1. 7:13Melidrussa Chillworn died after 3:09.
  2. 16:58Kokia Blazehoof died after 2:36.
  3. 18:02Devourer DH to Melee from Storm Warrior. No defensive pressed.
  4. 23:15Kyrakka and Erkhart Stormvein died after 2:42.
  5. 23:15Timed with 4:38 to spare.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Agree a kick order before each pack with casters, starting with Cinderbolt.
  2. Devourer DH: Blur when a Storm Warrior turns on you in a big pull.
  3. Keep dispelling the storm-cloud shields the way Holy Priest did.

What the group changes together

Keep doing what worked on the storm-cloud pull. Holy Priest used Mass Dispel and Dispel Magic on the shields, and Devourer DH used Consume Magic. The shields took less of the group's damage than in any earlier finished run here.

Kicks are the one loose end. Cinderbolt got through 13 times. Meanwhile, 32 kick presses landed on casts somebody had already stopped. A called kick order would put those presses to use.

The comp

The comp was fine. Holy Priest, Ele Shaman and Devourer DH could all strip the storm-cloud shields.
