Coiled Altar

Are you pressing the right things?No, 1 thing. The rotation in priority order, top first.

• Avenging Wrath soon after it comes back7 of 7 on time
• Execution Sentence with every Avenging WrathWorth the most3 of 7 windows; missed at 0:02, 1:05, 5:39 and 6:40, though it was ready each time; top Rets every window
• Wake of Ashes soon after Execution Sentence2 of 2 times on this attempt; top Rets 100% of the time
• Divine Toll soon after it comes back5 of 6 on time; the longest wait 12 s, from 0:00

Are you pressing enough?No. 50 presses a minute, top Rets 55. 5 times you went 4 seconds or more with nothing pressed (at 1:42 (12 s), 1:54 (7 s), 2:03 (6 s), 3:10 (5 s), 3:17 (4 s)), top Rets about 1, and Holy Power wasted 22%, top Rets 23%. Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?

Do the hits land hard enough?Yes. Your item level is at least top Rets' (330 to 328), so the gap isn't gear.

The fight

Phase 1 · 0:00–1:59

Cause not found yet · ~8kExecution Sentence did about 0% of a typical Ret's damage here.

You pressed it 0 times; typical Rets 2. We haven't found why yet, so there are no suggestions right now.

Your job as Ret iZul'jan alone. Raid damage from Fangs of the Coiled Altar, venom orbs to collect and clear with Sever, alternating Guillotine soaks, and roaming Axegrinder axes.

Single target: Final Verdict, not Divine Storm. Stay behind Zul'jan so Sever never hits you, and soak Guillotine when it's your group's turn.

Phase 2 · 1:59–3:32

Your job as Ret iMalacrass joins. Dreadmarch mind-controls players, whose shields spawn ghosts when broken. Soul Sever leaves Gravebound (pick up your three Soul Fragments). Gloombomb circles, the Spiritcackle add, and the Eternal Nightfall shield and interrupt.

Stay stacked on Malacrass so passive cleave breaks the mind-control shields. Divine Storm when shields or adds are in range. If Soul Sever hits you, grab all three Soul Fragments right away.

Intermission · 3:32–4:10

Your job as Ret iSoulbinding: Zul'jan takes 100% more damage while healing himself. Bloodlust goes here. Fragments of Malacrass race to Zul'jan and must be intercepted, and each soak hits the raid with Spirit Erasure.

This is the burst window. Avenging Wrath, Execution Sentence, potion, and on-use trinkets should all land here, on Zul'jan.

Phase 3 · 4:10–6:42

Cause not found yet · ~6kExecution Sentence did about 48% of a typical Ret's damage here.

Every Execution Sentence you and they cast was inside Avenging Wrath, so this isn't a button you skipped. We haven't found why yet, so there are no suggestions right now.

Your job as Ret iBoth bosses at once with every earlier mechanic. When one dies the other enrages, so the raid balances their health.

Two targets stacked: Divine Storm is your spender. Keep cooldowns on cooldown, and don't let either boss pull ahead.

Each bar splits a raider's damage on attempt 2 by target.

What to work on

1Stay behind Zul'jan for Sever. Big gain

Do

Sever is a tank frontal. Stand behind Zul'jan from the first second of the attempt, and stay behind him when the tanks swap.

Why

It killed you 23 seconds into attempt 1, before the attempt got going.

Deaths more than 20 seconds before the attempt ended.

Attempts

You

Point at a red mark for what killed you and from how much health.

Your deaths

Attempt 1, 0:23 in · Sever for 1.2M, from 95% health ready

What you could have dodged that can kill you on Coiled Altar. The bar is how much of your health (964k) it takes: one hit, or the worst 8 seconds when hits stack. The (?) has the dodge.
