OverpullAcid Rain and a Charge pulled 2 packsResto ShamanArms WarriorWrong targetRyvati's shield never brokegroupTipSingle-target Ryvati until her shield breaks

The healer's Acid Rain and Arms Warrior's Charge added 2 packs, then Ryvati's unbroken shield stunned the group into a wipe.

The key was clean through both bosses, with nobody dead. The wipe came in the Thundercloud gauntlet after Kokia, when 2 packs nobody planned joined Guardian Druid' pull. Resto Shaman's Surging Totem landed on the next pack's spawn, and its Acid Rain pulled that pack. Arms Warrior then charged that pack's Tempest Channeler, and Ryvati's pack came in a few seconds later.

With 9 Storm Warriors up at once (from the log) and the Channeler and Ryvati summoning clouds, too little damage went into Ryvati. Her Tempest Stormshield ran its full length twice, and each time it stunned the whole group. Arms Warrior died inside the first stun and Guardian Druid inside the second, and the rest went down with the tank.

PRESSFinal Verdict

WHEN
When Ryvati's Tempest Stormshield goes up.
WHY
Only 46% of her first shield came off before it ran out (from the log). Most of your damage in those 15 s went into the Storm Warriors and clouds around her.
PAYOFF
A broken shield means no 4 s stun, and that stun is what killed Arms Warrior and the tank.

  5. 23:23The key was dropped 23:23 in, with 3:00 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Resto Shaman: drop Surging Totem on the group, never on the next pack's spawn.
  2. Arms Warrior: don't Charge a caster that stands next to an unpulled pack.
  3. Everyone: when Ryvati's Tempest Stormshield goes up, single-target her until it breaks.
  4. Kill the Tempest Channeler next, then purge or Spellsteal clouds one at a time.

What the group changes together

Keep ground effects and charges on the pack the tank pulled. Both extra packs in this gauntlet came from a totem and a charge reaching the next spawn. When Ryvati joins, her Tempest Stormshield comes first. It absorbs about 5.6M (from the log). It lasts 15 s, so every DPS single-targets her until it breaks. The Tempest Channeler comes next, because each summon adds clouds and the summon can't be kicked. Clouds come last, purged or stolen one at a time. Hyporock's Thundercloud notes give the same order.

The comp

The comp had Purge, Spellsteal, a battle res and Bloodlust, so it covered what this gauntlet asks for.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

How the 2 extra packs were traced

From this log and the 09-26 and 09-27 Ruby Life Pools logs. Acid Rain hit the Storm Warrior, Cinderweaver and Tempest Channeler at (1764,-2), (1768,0) and (1766,2), the spots they stand on in both earlier runs. Surging Totem went down at 21:54.4, the first tick landed at 21:56.099, and both casters began casting 2-3 ms later. That rain healed no player. Ryvati's pack stands 15-25 yd beyond. Its first Storm Warrior showed up at (1763,4) at 22:02.4, already running. Arms Warrior' Charge landed at (1764,0) at 21:59.2, 19.5 yd away; nobody else came within 30 yd. Arcane Mage's Arcane Blast on a cloud at 22:01.5 was too late. Proximity aggro leaves no log line, so this is the likeliest cause, not a proven one.

Read the death cards carefully

Arms Warrior' first card says no defensive was pressed. The expired Stormshield stunned everyone at 22:26.5, and Arms Warrior died at 22:29.7 with the stun still on. Guardian Druid died at 23:03.3, the moment the second stun ended, with about 18 clouds up. The WIPE line charges the whole 2:14 pull as lost, and the key was abandoned on it, so the grades describe a clean 20 minutes plus 1 bad pull.
