Broodling kicks, globules and Eternal Venom, the Feast founts, the snakes, and every death, pull by pull. Piian's Mid-Pressure progression night, 5 November.
Every pull of Mythic Twin Fangs runs to the same script, so every pull can share one time axis, running to the length of the longest pull (244 seconds). A pull's row ends where it ended. The wipe starts at the first death of the first run of 4 deaths within 8 seconds. Deaths from there on are drawn small and faded and are not held against anyone. Pick a pull to see it player by player, with soaks, kicks and Feast hits.
Where the pulls broke: the first Rouse (pulls 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 15 and 16), the first Feast and its founts (pulls 4, 6, 8 and 9), the second Rouse (pulls 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18 and 19), the second Feast (pull 17) and after Submerge (pull 20). What started the wipes, by the first death of each: Visceral Burst from a missed kick (9), Tainted Burst from an unhealed fount (4), the snakes (2), Ravenous Feast (1), Coiling Ichor (1), other causes (1), Stir the Depths waves (1) and Eternal Venom ticks (1). 9 pulls reached the second Rouse.
Timings are from this log. Both bosses are fought together, and Eternal Venom stacks tie the mechanics together.
30 Rouses before a wipe, with 288 Broodlings. 17 Broodlings got a Visceral Burst off (18 Bursts in all, since a Broodling nobody kicks keeps casting), in 16 of the 30 Rouses; the other 14 had none. Nothing after a wipe started is counted. Half of the 17 went off 10.5 seconds or more after the Rouse began. 7 of the 17 came in a second Rouse at a boss position (Rouse 2). Broodlings went off most often at L1 (3) and R3 (3).
Fixed spots. A Broodling is placed at the nearest of the ten spots by where it first took damage. 29 were kicked before anything hit them, so the log has no position for them. Sides always alternate, so their side is known. 20 of them could also be placed, because only one spot fits the spawn rules (the first Rouse at each boss position, before Submerge and again in the corner after it, uses every spot once). The other 9 are known by side only. Kicking the same spot most of the night (60% or more): Laradendusk (L5, 62%), Evonux (R4, 65%), Vesemirr (R5, 75%) and Angryde (L3, 62%). Kicked in under 40% of the Rouses they were alive for: Alfi (9 of 30), Taranus (9 of 29), Mattiseppo (3 of 30) and Indris (1 of 30). Check these against the night's assignments; a player kept on something else will show low here.
Was a kick available? For each Broodling that went off, the table at the end of this section lists every kicker who was alive with their interrupt off cooldown. “On that side” means a kicker who normally kicks the side the Broodling was on. For all 17, at least one such kicker was ready. In the 9 Rouses where a missed kick started the wipe, these kickers had their interrupt ready for the most of those Broodlings on that side: Indris (5 Broodlings), Mattiseppo (5 Broodlings), Alfi (4 Broodlings) and Vesemirr (4 Broodlings). The log has no range check, so “ready” means the cooldown was up, not that the Broodling was in reach.
One row per Rouse, spots left to right as in the room. A cell is who kicked that Broodling. The small number after the name is the kick order in that Rouse, so Vesemirr 4 means Vesemirr kicked the 4th Broodling to be kicked; it is not seconds. Red cells went off. After the ✗ is when the first kick aimed at that Broodling came, measured from the Burst: ✗ +0.03s missed by a hair, ✗ +2.5s was sent after the Burst was seen and landed on its next cast. A name after the ✗ means someone else tried first. ✗ no kick: nobody aimed one at it. Dotted underline: there is no position in the log, so the spot is the only one the spawn rules allow. “?” holds the ones even the rules cannot place, with their side (L or R). wipe after a row: a missed kick in that Rouse started the wipe.
Where the second Rouse doubles up. The first Rouse at each boss position puts one Broodling on every spot; the second can reuse one, but only from three or more Broodlings back on that side, so only the 4th and 5th on a side ever land on a used spot. Across 80 Mythic kills a side only ever runs one of the five sequences below (see Rouse spawn pattern). This night 7 of the 10 sides read in full had a repeat. 8 other sides could not be read in full: 7 had a Broodling with no spot and 1 was cut short by the wipe. Tags read pull and side: P3 L is the left side of pull 3’s second Rouse.
Kickers. Main spot: where they kicked most, with its share. Same side: share of their kicks on their usual side. Median order: which Broodling of the Rouse they usually kicked (1 = the first kicked). Order spread: how much that varied. Pattern: a one-line reading of the three.
| Kicker | Interrupt | Kicks | Rouses alive | Main spot | Same side | Median order | Order spread | Pattern |
|---|
Against the kick plan. Each pair of spots has an early kicker, who takes the first Broodling to surface there, a late kicker for the second, and a backup for a third or any whose kicker is dead. The tanks share the front pair however the mechanics let them, so they count as one. Centre backups cover a side and the front.
Theirs: the placed Broodlings the plan gave this player, by spawn order in their pair; a dead kicker’s go to the backup, then the centre backup. Broodlings with no spot (“?”) are left out. Kicked: theirs they kicked. Taken: theirs someone else kicked; …ready: of those, how many came while their own interrupt was off cooldown (cooldown only: the log cannot tell whether they were in range). Off: theirs that finished a Visceral Burst. Helped: kicks on Broodlings the plan gave someone else. Speed: median seconds from a Broodling surfacing to their kick, on their own ones.
| Kicker | Job | Theirs | Kicked | Taken | …ready | Off | Helped | Speed | Taken most by |

| Pull · Rouse | Spot | Went off at | Surfaced | Kicked after | Ready on that side | Ready elsewhere | Started the wipe |

Soaks. 16 Feasts before a wipe. 1 smash went out to the whole raid because too few were in it. The Feast that started a wipe had a smash go out to the raid (players hit per smash: pull 6 11 · 7 · all 20). In 1 of them the other smashes had 12 or more between them, so the people were there but not spread across all three. A smash went to the raid or a Tainted Burst went off in 4 of 13 first Feasts. Angryde (11 of 15) soaked fewer than three in four. Every soak takes one Eternal Venom stack off, so a skipped Feast is a stack kept. Players who die in a smash that went to the raid are often the ones who did go in; they count in the deaths below.
Tainted Blood. 4 of the 16 Feasts ended in Tainted Burst. Healing into the founts came from Valanarr (25%), Aeonara (24%), Spânul (23%) and Shazàm (18%); everyone else together gave 11%.

14 globules exploded unsoaked before a wipe: pulls 1, 4, 6 and 19 in wave 1; pulls 10, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 18 in wave 2; pull 1 at 37s from Niydra’s globules, pull 8 at 60s from Shazàm’s globules and pull 14 at 96s from Шамшыммыч’s globules. The shields were not the problem: 406 of the 411 Barbed Bulwarks were stripped by crowd control, mostly by Paladins (96), Shamans (76) and Warriors (52). Another 20 went off after a wipe had started, mostly the globules dead players drop: a cost of wiping, not a soak problem.
Each globule is one stack for one player. With about 20 alive and 15 globules a wave, about 5 people go without one in every wave by design, so these lists only mean something when the same name keeps coming up. Tanks are left out. Most important — alive and without a globule in a wave where one exploded: Atheniás (7 of 10), Evonux (7 of 10), Mattiseppo (6 of 10), Spânul (5 of 10), Aeonara (4 of 10), Alfi (4 of 10), Niydra (4 of 10) and Squashiclysm (4 of 10). Soaked in under half the waves they were alive for: Atheniás (9 of 31) and Squashiclysm (14 of 31). Took two or more in one wave: Shazàm (6 waves), Valanarr (3 waves), Aeonara (2 waves) and Шамшыммыч (2 waves); usually someone covering a gap, at the cost of the extra stack.
The count. 31 globule waves came before a wipe. Each dropped 15 globules. Players who died during a wave dropped 12 more, one to three each, two seconds after the death (Vokster on pull 7; Laradendusk and Taranus on pull 11; Laradendusk on pull 14; Шамшыммыч on pull 20; Vesemirr on pull 20). Another 34 dropped outside those waves: 23 from players dying away from a wave and 11 not tied to a death. That makes 511 in all.
Where the stacks came from. 1628 stacks before a wipe: 36% from Venomous Emergence, which everyone takes, 29% from globule soaks, and 17% from globules exploding. 7% came from waves, 6% from snake spit on its target and 0% from spit cleaving someone next to the target, and Vile Flood (1%) and globules landing on someone as they dropped (3%) gave the rest. Most wave and spit-cleave stacks, from not dodging during mechanics: Vesemirr (14), Valanarr (12), Evonux (10), Indris (9) and Laradendusk (9). (The spit’s target can’t dodge the beam, so their stacks are left out.) Most Vile Flood stacks, from standing in the beam during Submerge: Evonux (4), Vesemirr (3), Aeonara (2), Alfi (2) and Shazàm (2). No deaths to Eternal Venom ticks before a wipe started. (A Venom death that started a wipe is counted with the wipe causes above.)

Waves soaked is waves with at least one globule, not globules, so taking two in a wave doesn’t raise it. Globules per wave is wave globules soaked divided by waves alive; 15 globules over about 20 people is about 0.75 each. Death globules soaked: a dead player’s globules are extra work, not a missed soak, so they are kept out of the other columns. The log doesn’t say which globule a soak was. In a wave where someone died, a player’s 2nd or later soak after the death drop counts as a death globule, up to the number dropped. Outside a wave, any soak 2–15 s after a death counts.
30 Venomous Emergences before a wipe. All three snakes died in 17 of them, the last at a median of 14.4 seconds after they surfaced. They got off 101 Corrosive Spits, a median of 3 per Emergence. Every spit that lands is a stack: 6% of the night’s stacks were on the spit’s target, and 0% on players caught in the cleave.
The table shows how much of each dps player's damage went into the snakes while any were alive. Most of it: Mattiseppo (90%), Indris (86%), Atheniás (80%) and Шамшыммыч (77%). Lowest: Aelyssar (8%) and Angryde (2%). Check these against who was assigned to the snakes before reading them as a problem; a player kept on the bosses will show low here. They were cleaved down together: for the median dps, 27% of their snake damage went into the first one to die, about an even split across the three.
| Player | Emergences | Hit a snake | Share of damage into snakes | On the first to die | First hit (median) |

18 deaths came before a wipe started, and 371 after. Half the wipes were sudden: 10 of 20 pulls had nobody dead before the wipe started. Pulls that reached Submerge averaged 2.0 deaths before the wipe and the rest 0.8, mostly because they ran longer: per minute it is 0.51 against 0.63. Most deaths before a wipe: Angryde (3), Laradendusk (2), Squashiclysm (2), Vesemirr (2), Vokster (2) and Шамшыммыч (2). First to die in a pull: Angryde (2) and Laradendusk (2). A death by Toxic Fumes (the room's constant damage) is counted as the biggest hit in the five seconds before it.

How this is read. A wipe starts at the first death of the first run of 4 deaths within 8 seconds; the kill, if there is one, has none. A mechanic that opens after the wipe started is not counted, and inside one that was already running, nothing after the wipe start counts (Broodlings, Bursts, kicks, smashes, snake damage). A globule wave cut off by the wipe within 7.5 seconds (before its drops end) is not a wave; its globules are counted on their own. What started a wipe is the cause of its first death. Alive: a player is dead from their death until they next cast something, so a battle rez brings them back. A Broodling's spot is the nearest of the ten spots to where it first took damage, within seven yards. A kick ready means the kicker was alive and their interrupt's cooldown was up when the Burst completed; the night's most-used interrupt counts for each player. A globule soak is a Caustic Globule hit on one player. An explosion is the other Caustic Globule spell hitting three or more players within 0.6 seconds. A stack's source is the hit that landed from 0.35 seconds before the stack to 0.15 seconds after it. A shield strip is a Barbed Bulwark dropping within 0.4 seconds of a stun, fear or incapacitate on that globule. Healing into a fount is healing absorbed on a player while they carry Tainted Blood, leaving out anyone also under Blood Torrent's absorb.
