TipOn a single target, cash a FV Arbiter with Divine Storm

Timed with minutes to spare, and the only 2 Whirlwinds that hit a player killed them.

This was a clean key. The group stopped every cast it could reach, and the casts that got through were more than five kicks could cover.

The deaths cost a minute and all of them can be taken back. Shivan Punisher's Whirlwind has a 4-second cast bar, the tank never took it, and it killed Feral Druid and Enh Shaman with one hit each. Hyporock died when both enraged Warehouse Workers turned on them just after Blessing of Protection ran out. Enh Shaman's second death came from standing in Felfire Bombardment at half health.

No single player cost this key anything close to its margin.

Your best Murder Row

This is the highest damage you have done in Murder Row in the archive, and you stopped more casts than your Rebuke cooldown was expected to allow. The new rotation held up: Wake went out with all but one of your Wings (from the log).

High confidence
The one change

PRESSDivine Storm

WHEN
When a Final Verdict gives you Divine Arbiter on a single target, like Zaen.
WHY
On Zaen you pressed Final Verdict 28 times with that Arbiter up (from the log). It expired unspent 3 times, and you did not press Divine Storm after the first minute.
PAYOFF
The sims rate this press as the most valuable choice in your single-target rotation.

  3. 11:26Zaen Bladesorrow died after 2:29.
  4. 14:40Feral Druid to Whirlwind from Shivan Punisher. No defensive pressed.
  5. 15:28Enh Shaman to Whirlwind from Shivan Punisher. No defensive pressed.

  7. 22:59Enh Shaman to Felfire Bombardment from Fel Invoker. No defensive pressed.
  8. 27:12Lithiel Cinderfury died after 2:54.
  9. 27:12Timed with 5:56 to spare.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Feral Druid and Enh Shaman: step out of melee when a Shivan Punisher starts Whirlwind.
  2. Hyporock: on single targets, answer a Final Verdict Arbiter with Divine Storm.
  3. Feral Druid: Soothe Back to Work! on the Warehouse Workers.
  4. Hyporock: when you hold Wings for a mechanic, press Wake and Toll at the start of the hold.

What the group changes together

The big pull after the Workers held 51 enemies, and both Whirlwind deaths happened in it. Call out Shivan Punisher casts so the melee step out. In the Warehouse Worker pull, Soothe Back to Work! as soon as it lands, since enraged Workers killed Hyporock in under 2 s.

The comp

The comp was fine. It had Bloodlust, two battle resurrections, and more poison removal than Zaen's Heartstop Poison needs.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Read the interrupt scores as ranks

The interrupt axis ranks each player against the others in the key. Here the group stopped 190 of 190 reachable casts, and 297 kickable casts were more than five interrupts could cover. Mistweaver Monk's 54 and Enh Shaman's 67 describe who took the kicks, not casts that were missed.

How the Zaen Divine Storm miss was counted

From the log: Divine Arbiter comes as two auras, 1306161 after a Final Verdict and 1306162 after a Divine Storm, and only the other spender uses it. On Zaen, 28 of Hyporock's 41 Final Verdicts were cast with 1306161 up. It expired unspent at about 81 s, 106 s and 148 s into the fight, and the last Divine Storm was at 57 s. The rest of the key was normal, at about 4% of Final Verdicts.
