Why it failed: Overpull: Big pull right after boss, healer CDs down (Blood DK)

Tip: Step out of Rotten Ground; 4 ticks set up your 3:15 death

A big pull right after the Hoardmonger, with the healer's cooldowns down, wiped the group and ended the key.

The opener with both Tender packs went clean, with Bloodlust on it. The next pull cost Hyporock and Windwalker Monk a death each, both from standing in Rotten Ground while Feast of Misery hit the party. The Hoardmonger died at 9:12. Blood DK then pulled a large group of Gatherers, Tenders and two Matriarchs 16 seconds later. Spirit Link, Astral Shift and Healing Tide were all still recharging. The tank died 42 seconds into that pull. The other four followed within 7 seconds, and the key was dropped after that wipe. The wipe is on the tank's pull, and the Rotten Ground deaths are on the players who stood in it.

What to change

1. Everyone: step out of Rotten Ground, most of all while Feast of Misery channels
2. Blood DK: after a boss, wait for healer cooldowns before the big pull
3. Hyporock: Cleanse Toxins on yourself first when the Monk can Detox
4. Nothing to change on Resto Shaman

Why it failed: Dropped early: Ended mid-pull at 3:54 while still on pace (group); Avoidable damage: Took every Rotten Ground tick, died twice (Fury Warrior)

Tip: Sacrifice a DPS at 20%, not at 1%

The key ended mid-pull at 3:54 while it was still on pace with Friday's timed run.

Prot Warrior pulled the opener and both Tender packs together, and the group held all 15 enemies, losing Fury Warrior and the healer. Hyporock's Intercession had the healer back within seconds. The next pull cost Fury Warrior his second death. At 3:50 the fight reset with the mobs evading and everyone topped off, and the whole group left together a few seconds later. By then the group had 14 kills, one fewer than Friday's timed run at the same point. The log doesn't show who called it. Fury Warrior said both deaths were a lack of heals. The first partly was, since the healer died 2 seconds after him. The second was mostly his own, from Rotten Ground he stood in for about 3 seconds.

What to change

1. Fury Warrior: step out of Rotten Ground before it ticks
2. Agree on kicks for the Tender's Earth Bolt
3. Hyporock: Sacrifice a DPS as soon as they drop under 20%
4. Talk it through before leaving a key that's on pace

Why it failed: Bad pull: Tender pack chained in, mobs loose on healer (Blood DK)

Tip: Under 40% with a bleed: Lay on Hands, not Wake of Ashes

The tank chained the Tender pack into the opener, and the party took about 3 times the damage of earlier Den groups.

Blood DK pulled the Tender pack 7 seconds after opening on the first Striker. For about 20 seconds, a Gatherer, the Matriarch and the Yearlings hit the healer and DPS instead of him. The party took 587k damage a second in the first half minute of the pack. The two earlier groups on this opener took about a third of that. Damage on the pack beat both of theirs, with Time Warp and burst cooldowns early. The pack was still above half health when Fury Warrior died at 1:03. Hyporock and the healer followed within 20 seconds. The pull ended in a full wipe, and the group left at 2:22. This wipe is on Blood DK's pull.

What to change

1. Blood DK: stack the opener on yourself before tagging the Tender pack
2. Without an Enrage removal, kill the Matriarch before the Yearlings
3. Set a kick order on the Tender's Earth Bolt
4. Hyporock: Lay on Hands or Stoneform under 40% with a bleed ticking

Tip: Taz'Rah: after Dark Bloom, step away from the orbs

Timed with a minute and a half to spare, and both Dark Bloom deaths were orbs that could have been dodged.

Timed, with about a minute and a half left on the clock. The first half matched the pace of the top groups on Raider.IO, and Atroxus died on their schedule. After him the group pulled one Brutalizer at a time and fought the big Siphoid swarm with a pack that had none. Four of the five Devour casts were stopped. The only deaths came from things that can be avoided. Orbs from Taz'Rah's Dark Bloom puddles killed Hyporock and then Arms Warrior, and the second Watchful Harrower's first swing killed Arms Warrior. Nobody needs to change much; dodging the orbs is the one fix.

What to change

1. At Taz'Rah, after each Dark Bloom, step away from the orbs leaving the puddles
2. Keep pulling one Brutalizer at a time after Atroxus
3. Let the tank take the second Watchful Harrower before anyone stands in its path

Why it failed: Missed mechanic: Devour victim lived at 1%, Brutalizer healed (group); Overpull: 3rd group pulled into the last Brutalizer (Blood DK)

Tip: Devour 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.

What to change

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

Why it failed: Overpull: Tank chain-pulled 3 groups, twice (Guardian Druid); Bad pull: Mage pulled a skipped Harrower (Arcane Mage)

Tip: Taz'Rah: never stand between a shade and its target

Both wipes after Atroxus began with the tank Moonfiring two more groups into a pack that was already a handful.

The first half went well. Nobody died at Raj'kess, Chitigoth or Atroxus, and every orb died in time. The key fell apart after Atroxus. At 16:37 Guardian Druid pulled the first pack, then Moonfired the Brutalizer pack and a Siphoid swarm within seconds. He died to Brutalize soon after, and four more deaths followed. At 21:24 he pulled three groups the same way, and everyone died. Between those, Arcane Mage pulled a Watchful Harrower the group was running past and died alone to its Sky Strike. Hyporock's one avoidable death was at Taz'Rah. The pulls were the tank's call, and they cost the key.

What to change

1. Guardian Druid: after Atroxus, pull one group at a time; say the plan before each pull
2. Interrupt every Mending Void and kill Devour's target in the Brutalizer packs
3. Arcane Mage: never open a pack the group is skipping
4. Hyporock: at Taz'Rah stand crosswise to the shades

Why it failed: Avoidable damage: 2 Ravenous Swarms killed Hyporock first (Hyporock); Avoidable damage: Swarm killed Disc Priest with Chitigoth at 4.5% (Disc Priest)

Chitigoth was at 4.5% when the healer died; dodgeable Ravenous Swarms killed Hyporock first and then Disc Priest.

The retry killed every orb and Raj'kess, then wiped on Chitigoth in the arena. His Insidious Aura hits all five for about 350k every 2 seconds while it runs. Right after the first aura, two Ravenous Swarms caught Hyporock less than a second apart and killed him. Those swarms drift around the room and can be dodged. He came back on Affli Lock's soulstone with the second aura already running and died to its next two ticks. Enh Shaman died on that aura's last tick, and a swarm landing with a Savage Leap killed Disc Priest. Blood DK was alone when Chitigoth died 12 seconds later. Healing held up as well as in your other Chitigoth fights, so the swarm hits on Hyporock and Disc Priest decided it.

What to change

1. Hyporock: dodge the drifting Ravenous Swarms at Chitigoth
2. Hyporock: accept a battle res only after Insidious Aura ends
3. Group: call swarms at Chitigoth; nothing to change on Disc Priest's cooldown timing

Why it failed: No defensive: 2nd Storm taken with no defensives (Disc Priest, Hyporock, Enh Shaman); Wrong target: Last orb blasted mid-Storm at 26% health (group)

The second Thundering Storm found three players with no defensive, and the one orb left alive blasted everyone mid-storm.

The group reached Raj'kess and wiped during his second Thundering Storm. Each pulse of that storm hits everyone for about 260k, and nobody below tank health survives the whole storm without help. Disc Priest, Hyporock and Enh Shaman took it with nothing pressed, because their personals had gone on the first storm or earlier. The last orb of the second set had only Affli Lock's damage over time on it until 8 seconds into its cast. It finished the cast at a quarter health and hit everyone for about 160k in the middle of the storm. Disc Priest then died to the final pulse by 49k, so that orb decided the healer's death. The fault is shared between the orb split and the empty second storm.

What to change

1. Hyporock: Divine Protection on the first Thundering Storm cast, Lay on Hands or Divine Shield on the second
2. Name orb targets before Raj'kess: two melee orbs, one ranged, boss only after
3. Every player brings a personal to both storms; Disc Priest keeps Pain Suppression for the second
