9 deaths before Avatar used up the timer, and the wipe began when a dying Guardian's blast killed Hyporock.

Deaths before the last boss added 2:15 to the timer. That left less time than the clean Avatar kill in the next key took. Most of them came in the serpent pull after Adderis, where Lightning Serpents that left the tank for a few seconds caused 3 deaths. Two of those players then died again to a Sandswept Marksman's Volley on the run back. Ele Shaman died 4 times before Avatar.

At Avatar, the first Corrupted Guardian erupted 4 s after it died. Everyone except Hyporock had moved away. The healer was frogged by Latent Hex at the same moment, and the rest of the group died within 20 s.

Damage, Merektha and quick hands

Your damage was 104% of the other DPS's median. On Merektha you held Wings for the snakes, as your plan says. With a spender ready, you pressed it faster than on any earlier logged key.

High confidence
The one change

DOWalk out of the eruption

WHEN
As soon as a Corrupted Guardian dies at Avatar.
WHY
The corpse erupts 4 s after death and hits everyone close by. You were 5 yd away when it hit for more than twice your health. Divine Shield was ready, and you bubbled the same blast in an earlier Temple key.
PAYOFF
Your death started the wipe, so stepping out keeps the pull alive.

  12. 27:57The key was dropped 27:57 in, with 0:41 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Everyone: walk 20 yd away from a Corrupted Guardian as soon as it dies.
  2. Hyporock: if you can't get clear, Divine Shield through the eruption.
  3. Guardian Druid: go into Avatar with a Survival Instincts charge ready.
  4. Ele Shaman: stay out of Spark Step and Merektha's Burrow.

What the group changes together

The serpent pull after Adderis cost the most. A Lightning Serpent's swing plus its Stormcall kills anyone but the tank at this level, and twice a serpent turned off Guardian Druid for a few seconds. Each serpent was back on Guardian Druid within 5 s, but the first swing had already landed. The log does not show why they turned, so watch the serpents as they arrive. On a run-back, let the group lead past the Sandswept Marksmen, since their Volley one-shot both players who ran back alone.

The comp

The comp covered Temple's dispels, Bloodlust and battle res. Nothing about it made this key harder.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Where the time went

At the Avatar pull the timer read 29:02 (26:47 played plus 9 deaths at 15 s), leaving 2:58 of the 32:00. In the next key, the same route at +16 took 3:03 for Avatar alone, at lower health. Against that +16: Adderis to Merektha took 1:04 longer here (the serpent pull and its run-backs), Merektha to Galvazzt 0:31 longer, and Galvazzt to Avatar matched within 4 s. Arbiter counts the Avatar pull as a WIPE costing 2:00, but the key could not be timed by then.

The eruption, from positions in the log

Both times it hit someone (here and on 09-27), Unstable Corruption (1302761) landed 4.0 s after the Guardian died. Here, at that moment, Mistweaver Monk, Ele Shaman, Arms Warrior and Guardian Druid stood 22 to 25 yd from the corpse and Hyporock 5 yd. In the +16, all 5 players were 22 yd or more away 4 s after both Guardian deaths, and nothing was logged. On 09-27 it reached Hyporock inside Divine Shield. Divine Shield was ready here; Forbearance had ended at 23:05.
