What happens

Voidswarm opens portals that release a Venomous Hulk, Voidweavers and Bomber Beetles. Adds within 25 yards of Kith'ix take far less damage (Commanding Presence), so they die away from the boss. Extinguish hits the whole raid hard: grab a Light's Embrace orb before it lands. On Heroic, the Hulk and Voidweavers drop eggs (Incubation). Each time Kith'ix reaches 100 energy the raid collapses into Liadrin's light for an intermission.

Phase 2Not reached yet

What happens

At 25% health Kith'ix goes into Phase 2 and any adds still alive die. Everyone gets Luminous Grace (50% more damage) and the raid has about a minute: each Eightfold Eclipse hits the raid hard, and the eighth one wipes it. Null Gates spawn under a melee, a ranged and a healer and fire Nullshards that stack Nullify, which kills at five stacks on Heroic. Negation lands on a tank, who swaps and runs into a Null Gate within 8 seconds to close the gates nearby.

How you pressed buttons iYour presses on pull 5 compared to top Unholy DKs on their kills.

Pull 5: 4 things to fix, plus haste and button speed

54 presses a minute vs 58 for top Unholy DKs, 52 for a typical Unholy DK

Why you pressed less

Haste: about 10% fewer pressesiThe global cooldown is the wait after each instant press. Haste shortens it. This is measured outside Dark Transformation and haste buffs, so it compares gear, not cooldowns. Many top players also get Power Infusion from a priest.

Your global cooldown was 0.99s, top Unholy DKs 0.89s, so haste costs you about 10% of your presses.

Long pauses: no more than top playersiTime with nothing happening: no global cooldown running, no cast or channel. Moments when most of the raid's melee also stopped (the boss moved or couldn't be hit) are left out.

0 times you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Unholy DKs: about 1.

Button speed: about 3% fewer pressesiHow quickly each press follows the last when you're not moving: within a quarter of a second of the global cooldown, cast or channel ending counts as on time.

91% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Unholy DKs 91%). Short pauses add up to 4.8s a minute (3.0s).

1Stay 15 yards from the boss tank on

Dark Devastation. Big gain

Do: Your damage into the adds is among the best in the raid; keep that up, just away from whoever is tanking Kith'ix. When Dark Devastation is coming, be more than 15 yards from the boss tank while they run it out.
Why: It caught you only once all night, on pull 4, and it killed you; you needed a battle rez to get back in.
