Wrong targeta Legion Axe lived, Xathuux wipe cost ~5 mingroupTipPress Wings when it comes back on a boss

The Xathuux wipe cost about 5 minutes, after one Legion Axe lived long enough for Fel Lightning to kill the damage dealers.

The key was on pace until Xathuux. Bloodlust had gone out on Zaen, so the first Xathuux pull had none. One Legion Axe lived much longer than the others, Fel Lightning stacked up, and all three damage dealers died within seconds of each other. The tank and healer followed.

Counting the recovery and the death penalty, the wipe cost about 5 minutes, and the kill after it had no deaths. Balance Druid's two earlier deaths came from Murder in a Row on Zaen and from Drain Life after it.

The log stops just after the Xathuux kill, so the end of the key is not in this record.

Top damage and two battle resurrections

Your damage was well above the other damage dealers, you cast both battle resurrections, and you cleansed Heartstop Poison through the key.

High confidence
The one change

PRESSAvenging Wrath

WHEN
When Wings comes back during a boss and no mechanic is due in the next few seconds.
WHY
On Zaen, Wings came back near the end and was never pressed. On the Xathuux kill it sat ready for most of a minute.
PAYOFF
With the new rotation, Wake and Toll wait for Wings, so each Wings you skip also holds them back.

  7. 27:24The key was dropped 27:24 in, with 5:00 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Save Bloodlust for Xathuux.
  2. Everyone: burst each Legion Axe as it spawns.
  3. Balance Druid: hide behind a crate for Murder in a Row.
  4. Hyporock: press Wings when it comes back on a boss, and Lay on Hands before you die.

What the group changes together

Save Bloodlust for Xathuux rather than Zaen, since the wipe pull had none. Burst each Legion Axe as it spawns, because the one that lived longest is what let Fel Lightning stack high enough to kill. Take a breath before pulling Xathuux after a long trash chain, so cooldowns are back.

The comp

The comp was fine. It had Bloodlust, battle resurrections and poison removal for Heartstop Poison.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Why this key reads as abandoned

The log ends about 21 s after the Xathuux kill, right after what looks like a /reload that turned combat logging off. There is no end-of-key event, so Arbiter files the run as abandoned and cannot say whether it was timed. Lithiel Cinderfury is not in the log.

The wipe, from the log

Six Legion Axes spawned on the wiped Xathuux pull. Five died in 9 to 12 s and the third lived 17 s. Fel Lightning reached 17 stacks, and Balance Druid, Arcane Mage and Hyporock died within 2 s of each other. Time Warp had been used on Zaen at 11:38, so it was still recharging when Xathuux was pulled at 20:09.
