TipLet Wings come back before the Galvazzt pull

Nobody died and the key finished 4:38 under the timer, the fastest Temple at this level in the archive.

Nobody died, so there were no run-backs and no death penalty. Guardian Druid kept a quick pace, chained the Merektha trash into the boss and stopped the most casts in the group. Holy Paladin covered every heal the key needed from the lowest item level in the group. Everyone stepped clear of both Corrupted Guardians before they erupted, which is what started the +17 wipe earlier tonight. The one planned thing that slipped was Hyporock's Merektha Wings, which went out on cooldown instead of on the snakes.

Quick hands, no deaths

Your press delay was among your 4 quickest keys. You never died. Divine Toll went out inside every Wings.

Medium confidence
The one change

PRESSAvenging Wrath

WHEN
On Merektha, when the first Knot of Snakes unravels.
WHY
Wings went out on the pull and then on cooldown, so no window started on a snake wave. Your Merektha plan puts Wings on each wave, as you did on the +17.
PAYOFF
Toll and Divine Storm land on the whole snake wave inside Wings.

  2. 14:50Merektha died after 3:30.
  3. 20:04Galvazzt died after 2:29.
  4. 27:31Avatar of Sethraliss died after 3:03.
  5. 27:31Timed with 4:38 to spare.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Hyporock: on Merektha, hold Wings for the first snake wave instead of the pull.
  2. Hyporock: on the last pack before Galvazzt, let Wings come back for the pull.
  3. Guardian Druid: press Skull Bash only on a cast bar.
  4. Everyone: bring this route and pace back to the +17.

What the group changes together

Keep this route and pace for the next +17. Guardian Druid chained the trash before Merektha into the boss, and with no deaths nobody had to run back past the Sandswept Marksmen. Everyone left each Corrupted Guardian before it erupted, which is the one thing the +17 Avatar pull got wrong.

The comp

The comp covered everything Temple asks for, including poison and magic cleanses, Bloodlust and battle res.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Hyporock's rotation and reaction against earlier keys

From key_delay.py, rowb_audit.py and the log, over 21 keys since 09-25. Delay per press 0.106 s here and 0.105 on the +17; the 19 earlier keys had a median of 0.114 (0.101 to 0.146). With a spender ready: 0.096 here, 0.089 on the +17, the fastest of all 21. These are the first 2 keys on the 70 px row; key-to-key spread is 0.01 s, so this leans faster without proving it. GCDs per active minute 57.0 (earlier 54.9 to 57.9). Toll with Wings 100%, Wake 85%. Hammer of Wrath pressed after Holy Power had sat at 5 for 0.3 s or more: 31 times, the most of any key (earlier 9 to 23).

Guardian Druid against the archive's tanks

63 tank records at +15 and above. B- 76 here and B- 72 on the +17 rank 19th and 26th (median 68). Kicks 26 and 23 against a tank median of 14. Ironfur 97% with every worst damage window covered. Mob melee that landed on someone else: 1.4% here and 2.1% on the +17, against a Guardian Druid 1.7% and a Prot Paladin 0.9% in their Temple keys, mostly Merektha's untankable snakes. Damage taken per combat second here was the lowest of the 18 archived Temple tanks, though Holy Paladin's absorbs feed into that.
