Time lost iDPS here only counts time alive, so the death isn't in this number.You died to Twisted Appendage at 3:57, 42 seconds before the pull ended.

It still cost about 5.6M damage the raid had to make up.

Wrong target · ~3kAt 2:19, put Execution Sentence on the Venomous Hulk, not a Voidweaver.

It lands 10 seconds after you cast it. The Voidweaver died first, so it never did. 6 of 10 typical Rets put this one on the Venomous Hulk.

Button choice · ~1kUse Final Verdict when only one enemy is in range. Divine Storm is for 2 or more.

33 of your 45 Divine Storms hit just one enemy. Typical Rets had 20; a few are fine (free procs).

CooldownPress Wake of Ashes when it's ready.

It sat ready from 1:53 to 2:34. Pressed whenever it was ready, that's 8 uses this pull instead of 6. You pressed it 6 times in this phase; typical Rets 7.

Your job as Ret iVoidswarm 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.

Voidweavers first, with the Hulk dragged onto them so Divine Storm hits both. Keep them 25 yards from Kith'ix, break the eggs before they hatch, and grab a Light's Embrace orb before every Extinguish.

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 Rets on their kills.

Pull 5: 3 things to fix, plus haste and button speed

43 presses a minute vs 55 for top Rets, 46 for a typical Ret

Why you pressed less

Haste: about 15% fewer pressesiThe global cooldown is the wait after each instant press. Haste shortens it. This is measured outside Avenging Wrath and haste buffs, so it compares gear, not cooldowns. Many top players also get Power Infusion from a priest.

Your global cooldown was 1.03s, top Rets 0.88s, so haste costs you about 15% 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.

1 time you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Rets: about 1. At 0:34 (4s). Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?

Button speed: about 5% 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.

79% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Rets 68%). Short pauses add up to 10.2s a minute (7.4s).

What you pressed

Buttons inside Avenging WrathiDuring Avenging Wrath, Judgment turns into Hammer of Wrath. Compares how often you pressed each button per minute while Avenging Wrath was up with typical players of your spec on their kills.

Inside Avenging Wrath you press your buttons in about the same mix as typical Rets.

Wake of Ashes on cooldowniThe middle gap between your presses. A few deliberate holds don't move it much.

37s between presses (cooldown 30s); top Rets 31s. Keep it near the top of your list: press it as it comes back. With a 30-second cooldown, it sat ready about 7 seconds between your presses, and every wait that long costs damage you don't get back.

Holy Power wasted: 37%iHoly Power gained while you're already at the cap is lost. Some waste can't be avoided, especially from Walk Into Light.

Top Rets waste 22%. Some waste is normal for Ret.

Time in meleeiCrusading Strikes is your auto-attack, not a button, so how often it lands shows how long you stayed in melee.

Crusading Strikes per minute: Phase 1 23 vs 35.

From your summary

1Step out of

Twisted Appendage circles. Big gain

Do: This is the one mechanic hitting you more than the raid. When a shadow circle opens under you, step out first, then go back to your target.
Why: It killed you on pull 5, the night's best pull, and it hit you about five times as often as the raid.
Show me

2Take a

Light's Embrace orb before every

Extinguish. Big gain

Do: Twice, Extinguish landed while Digestive Juices from the Bomber Beetles was still ticking on you, and the two together finished you. Take a Light's Embrace orb before every Extinguish so it can't stack on top of the beetles.
Why: That pair ended your pulls 7 and 9 early; on pull 9 the raid fought on for another 1:27 without you.
