Key takeaways

The tank takes most of it. Nearly 40% of the damage taken comes from three attacks on them: Ravenous Claws from Ravenous Descendants, Hydrastrike from Rav'i and Duostrike from Twinfang Harrowers. Descendants speed up with every hit and enrage (Ravenous, to soothe): the longer they live, the faster they hit. The Ritual Chieftain casts Dismember for 3 s, a huge hit on its target: time for a defensive.

Poisons kill. Envenom, from Ula'tek's Chosen and High Evolutionists, is the most interrupted spell of the dungeon and one of the deadliest: a 3 s cast, then an 8 s poison that can be dispelled. Mass Envenom, its group version, can be kicked too. Keep a kick for them, and a poison dispel for those that go through.

Also kick Piercing Hiss from Primal Serpents (4 s, heavy damage that ignores armor and 30% less haste) and Toxic Atrophy from Uncoiled Writhes, which lowers the whole group's damage and speed and stacks. Paralyzing Shots from Twinfang Harrowers (magic, 20 s, slower with every tick) killed several players: dispel them fast. Their Toxic Breath can be dodged.

On The Writhing Coil, Synchronized Venom hits the whole group and leaves a 35 s poison: a moment for healing cooldowns, not for dispelling one by one.

Drawn from the keys Wipe to Win has analysed in this dungeon: the spells that did the most damage to the group, the ones that killed, and the ones groups interrupt the most.

Spells to interrupt

In this dungeon, these enemy spells can be interrupted. A kick stops them, and so does crowd control that breaks the cast: stun, silence, fear.

In a key, Wipe to Win only holds a cast that went through against players whose kick was ready, and only if it hurt: a death, or more than 40% of someone's HP. The details are in the interrupts guide.

Effects to dispel

These effects are removed by a dispel of the right type, or soothed when the enemy enrages. The type tells which classes can handle it.

When a player dies under a debuff that had been up for more than 2 s, and that debuff was already dispelled in one of your logs, the report says, for every player who removed it before, whether they could have.

Avoidable damage

Blizzard classifies these spells as "avoidable" in its own damage meter: ground effects, frontals, leaps. Every hit counts, the first one included, and Wipe to Win holds no other spell against you. How they are counted.
