The Blinding Vale

**Outside your control.** That many Lashers hitting at once is more melee than any tank kit holds for long. Mistweaver Monk's Life Cocoon landed shortly before you died, and it wasn't enough. **Did well.** Shuffle was up 90% of pull 1 and 99% of pull 2 (counted from the log), which is the thing that matters most for a Brewmaster. Ignore the mitigation score; see the note at the bottom. Your Leg Sweeps and Ring of Peace came at useful moments. **Change.** Your big cooldowns all went out early in pull 1. Fortifying Brew went at 0:30 and Niuzao at 0:38. When the Lasher burst came at 1:20, only Celestial Infusion and Purifying Brew were left. Hold one of them for the back half of a big pull. The second change is the chain pull. Let the last pack die and let Mistweaver Monk drink before pulling the Belcher. Mistweaver Monk was nearly out of mana when it came. **Kicks.** You stopped 5 casts, where Arbiter expects about 12 from a tank in a key like this. Three of your kicks landed on a cast someone else had already stopped, or on nothing.

**Outside your control.** This key needed more healing per second than 95% of the keys Arbiter's scale was built from. You still covered 86% of the damage that needed an outside heal, which is very high. You died 2 s after the tank, when the Lashers turned on you, so that death came from the tank's. **Did well.** You Cocooned the tank twice and cast Revival during the second wipe. Chi-Ji and Celestial Conduit both went out, and so did Paralysis, Leg Sweep and Ring of Peace. **Change.** Mana. You still had about half your mana at the first wipe. In pull 2 you went from 76% down to 3%, and Mana Tea only went out at 4:22, after you were already empty. Press it around 40%. Spore Spines is a Magic damage-over-time, and you are the only one in this group who can remove it. Copies were left up for 86 s in total, about half of all that landed. Detox it on the dps first. Hyporock's only answer is Divine Shield, and he spent it on that. **Kicks.** You made 2 stops; about 4 were expected.

PRESSAstral Shift

WHEN

When Spouting Floret starts ticking on everyone.

WHY

Floret plus a Light Bolt killed you at 4:25 with no defensive pressed.

**Outside your control.** Your item level is about 20 below the rest of the group. Even so, your damage while alive was 107% of the other dps players' median. **Not real deaths.** The log shows you "dying" at 0:37 and 4:23. Both were Feign Death. You were at 75% health the first time and kept casting, and Mistweaver Monk Cocooned you 5 s after the second one. Your one real death was at 1:32. **Change.** In pull 1 you pressed no defensive at all. Exhilaration and Survival of the Fittest were both ready when 1.1M landed on you in just over a second. Pull 2 was much better. You used Exhilaration twice, Survival three times and a potion, and you survived the wipe. **Lust.** Primal Rage went out 14 s into pull 1. That was the right pull for it, but it meant no lust for the rerun. **Kicks.** You pressed Counter Shot 6 times for 3 stops. Two of the misses hit a cast someone had already stopped, and 1 hit nothing. Intimidation on the Spellsower, twice, was a good stop.

**Outside your control.** Wipe 2 was Spouting Floret plus Belch Spores while the new pack was at full health. No personal button fixes that. **Did well.** You made 8 Rebuke stops, about double what Arbiter expects, and none were wasted on a stopped cast. In pull 1 you used Freedom and Sacrifice on the tank and Blessing of Protection on BM Hunter. In pull 2 you used Lay on Hands on yourself and Divine Protection every time it came back. **Change.** You used Divine Shield at 0:29 while you were at 80% health. It cleared Spore Spines, but that is Mistweaver Monk's dispel. When the burst came at 1:28, you had nothing left to press. Keep the bubble for the back half of a big pull. **Damage.** You did 72% of the other dps players' median, mostly because two deaths cut your time. Holy Power waste was 27%, inside what top Ret players lose, so nothing to fix there.
