Missed mechanicVerdant Stomp threw 2 out of the arenaVeng DHHyporockPres Evoker

The first Verdant Stomp on Ikuzz threw Hyporock and Pres Evoker out of the arena, and it kept them out.

The key ran well up to Ikuzz. Lightblossom Trinity died in under three minutes and the group stopped every cast it could reach. Hyporock's one trash death came from Belch Spores, which he stood through on the same spot and which killed him from 92% health. On Ikuzz the first Verdant Stomp knocked everyone away from the boss. Hyporock and Pres Evoker were on the entrance side, flew out, and could not get back in. Three players could not handle Thorncaller Roar and Bloodthorn Roots without a healer, and the key was dropped after the wipe.

WHY
You kept attacking from the same spot through the whole wind-up, and the spores one-shot you from nearly full health.
PAYOFF
The other five Belch Spores casts in this key hit nobody, so a few yards is enough.

How it went

  1. 8:58Lightblossom Trinity died after 2:58.
  2. 9:28Hyporock to Belch Spores from Sporeblight Belcher. Divine Protection in the window.
  3. 11:12CascadeArcane Mage, Pres Evoker and Hyporock in 14 s, to Thorncaller Roar and Verdant Stomp. Arcane Mage went first. 1 of 4 with no defensive pressed.
  4. 11:55CascadePres Evoker and Demo Lock in 9 s, both to Bloodthorn Roots. Pres Evoker went first. No defensive pressed by either.
  5. 12:36The key was dropped 12:36 in, with 15:48 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Veng DH: drag Ikuzz away from the entrance before the first Verdant Stomp
  2. Everyone: stand on the arena side of Ikuzz at each Verdant Stomp
  3. Hyporock: step off your spot when Belch Spores starts
  4. Pres Evoker: Naturalize Spore Spines off the tank

What the group changes together

Ikuzz was tanked close to the entrance, with the melee spot behind him on that side. Verdant Stomp knocks players away from the boss, so the first one, about 10 s in, threw two players out through the entrance and the arena kept them out. That left three players with no healer through Thorncaller Roar and Bloodthorn Roots. Before the next pull, agree to drag Ikuzz into the arena and keep everyone on the inside of him at each Stomp.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

How the lockout shows in the log

Hyporock's last cast on Ikuzz was at 10:58. His next press was Divine Protection at 11:17, at 8% health. The Stomp at 10:56 moved him and Pres Evoker about 15 yards toward the entrance in a second. The grader cannot see a lockout, so its death list names Thorncaller Roar for both. The real cause was where they stood when Stomp went off.
