Missed mechanicDevour victim lived at 1%, Brutalizer healedgroupOverpull3rd group pulled into the last BrutalizerBlood DKTipDevour starting: single-target its victim

The last Brutalizer was nearly dead when its Devour victim, at 1% health, got eaten and healed it back up.

This group got further than the 21:24 one, through both bosses and two Brutalizer packs after Atroxus. The opener cost two deaths because most of the Shamans' Lava Bolts went through. Holy Paladin walked into the Brutal Overseer's pack ahead of the tank and died to Brutal Slams. On the last Brutalizer pack, Blood DK's Death and Decay pulled a third group from about 37 yards away. The Brutalizer then finished Devour on a Lost Sethrak that was at 1% health. That healed it by about half its health and made it stronger. The Voidminders healed it more, because almost every Mending Void went through. The wipe came from those misses, and the pull itself was winnable.

How it went

  1. 0:56CascadeHoly Paladin and Hyporock in 4 s, to Lava Bolt and Searing Magma. Holy Paladin went first. 1 of 2 with no defensive pressed.
  2. 10:48Taz'Rah died after 3:33.

  4. 14:01Hyporock to Sky Strike from Watchful Harrower. No defensive pressed.
  5. 19:13Atroxus died after 3:42.
  6. 24:02CascadeBlood DK, Hyporock, Havoc DH and Arcane Mage in 5 s, all to Melee. Blood DK went first. 3 of 4 with no defensive pressed.
  7. 24:15The key was dropped 24:15 in, with 3:53 left on the timer.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Kill Devour's target before the 9 s cast ends; interrupt every Mending Void
  2. Set a Lava Bolt kick rotation before the first pull
  3. Blood DK: one group at a time after Atroxus; Death and Decay only under the held pack
  4. Holy Paladin: walk behind the tank to the Overseer

What the group changes together

Raj'kess, the arena, Chitigoth and both bosses were clean. Three things cost the key. The Shamans' Lava Bolts need a kick rotation from the first pull, since most of them got through in the opener. In the Brutalizer packs, interrupt Mending Void and kill whatever Devour is aimed at before its cast ends. After Atroxus, fight one group at a time. At the second Watchful Harrower the Overseer pack's Shaman was still alive and the tank stood outside the Sky Strike stack, so four people split it.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Was the last pull impossible

No. The Brutalizer was at 30% at 23:23 (keydb). Devour started at 23:30 on a Lost Sethrak; the party put 2.3M into it during the 9 s cast and it was at 1% when the cast completed. The Brutalizer then healed itself 13.4M and gained Devouring Might; its next Brutalize opened at 907k on the tank, against 300-650k in earlier keys. Voidminders healed it another 9.6M, with 2 of 22 Mending Voids interrupted. Together that is 23M of healing on a 26.8M mob. Without the Devour heal it would have died around 23:35.

Who pulled what

Opener 0:08: the tank took the first pack, the Shamans and the Magi together (Lava Bolt: 4 of 20 kicked). 12:42: the Overseer's first hit was on Holy Paladin at 3 yd, with Blood DK and Hyporock about 30 yd east; Blood DK's Death and Decay and taunt followed 3 s later. 13:48: Blood DK opened the second Harrower while the Overseer pack's Shaman lived; Hyporock died to its Lava Bolt plus a four-way Sky Strike. 22:36: Death and Decay on the Brutalizer pack, with the pack beside it joining within 4 s; 22:47: Death and Decay hit a third group 37 yd from Blood DK's cast position.
