Missed dispelEnvenom ran its full length 14 timesHyporockLack of interruptsEnvenom casts got throughgroup

Hyporock was the party's only poison cleanse, and Envenom ran its full duration 14 times in the pull that wiped.

The pull after Rav'i ran for almost 4 minutes and wiped, and the key was dropped after it. It held several High Evolutionists, and their Envenom poison did most of the killing in its last minute.

Nobody else in this group could remove poison. Every Envenom that got past the kicks was Hyporock's to cleanse, and most of them ran their full course. The earlier deaths cost little. The tank died from a fall between pulls, and two others died in the opening pulls.

The loss is shared. The kicks let too many Envenom casts through, and the cleanses left too many on.

  7. 16:15The key was dropped 16:15 in, with 11:08 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Hyporock: Cleanse Toxins on every Envenom when it is ready, others before yourself.
  2. Everyone: kick High Evolutionist's Envenom before anything else in that pack.
  3. Split the area after Rav'i into two pulls and start it with defensives back.
  4. Resto Shaman: take Poison Cleansing Totem for this dungeon if your build allows it.

What the group changes together

The pull after Rav'i started about 13 s after the boss died, with Hyporock's Lay on Hands and Divine Shield still on cooldown. It then ran for almost 4 minutes. Take that area in two smaller pulls. Agree before the pull who kicks the High Evolutionists, because Envenom got through more often than any other cast. Hyporock should cleanse the others first.

The comp

Envenom is the most dangerous spell in this dungeon and it is a poison. Only Hyporock could remove it. A second poison remover (Poison Cleansing Totem on a shaman, or a Monk, Druid or Evoker) would have covered the Envenoms Hyporock's cooldown could not reach. The rest of the comp was fine.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

How the 14 possible cleanses were counted

The log gives every Envenom (debuff 1307571) on a player, and I checked whether Cleanse Toxins (8 s cooldown, from the game's spell table) was ready and whether Hyporock was alive. A pass that cleanses the Envenom closest to expiring whenever Cleanse is ready finds 14 cleanses between 11:48 and Hyporock's death at 15:34. Hyporock made 5. The pass ignores range, line of sight and the global cooldown, so 14 is an upper bound. The clearest misses were Resto Shaman, who carried one for the full 8 s from 12:21 with Cleanse ready, and Arcane Mage from 12:38.

Resto Shaman's dispel score is mostly the party's poison number

Purify Spirit removes Magic and Curse, not Poison, and no Poison Cleansing Totem appears in this key. Resto Shaman removed all but one Paralyzing Shots. The dispel line under Resto Shaman's name (12 of 20) is the party's number, and the Envenoms dragging it down were Hyporock's to cleanse. Read that 68 as fine.
