Entombed Sentinels

The Venomous Abyss. Where the damage lands and what these runs pressed against it, stage by stage.

How to heal it

The tightest cycle in the raid: a long stage and a very short intermission, repeating. The intermission is a handful of seconds, which is short enough that a ramp begun when it starts will not finish inside it.

That is the whole shape of the fight for a healer. Everything you want up for the intermission has to be started during the stage before it.

This one cycles: two stages repeating across 11 segments, for as long as the fight lasts. Spend cooldowns on the assumption that the same stage is coming back, because what you use on the first pass will not be up for the second.

The first thing worth planning against lands 25s in, inside Stage One: Entombed Sentinels. That is inside your opener, so there is no room to ramp into it once the pull starts. Build the ramp before the pull and open with it already going out.

Most of what reaches the group here comes from Mark of Acid, Mark of Blood and Contaminate, and those are totals for everybody who is not the tank, so they are what the raid took rather than a number you have to heal on your own.

All of this comes from 135 logged normal runs, every one of them a kill, because the board these came from holds no wipes. Read the timings as the shape of the fight rather than as settled numbers: they will move as the raid goes on farm.

Log-verifiedn=135 runs

Entombed Sentinels on normal runs 11 stages, and the worst moment of each falls at 25s, 47s, 1m 31s, 2m 39s, 3m 13s, 4m 25s, 4m 50s, 6m 15s, 6m 40s, 7m 59s, 8m 17s into the fight.

The worst moment is the middle of the heaviest five seconds of damage that did not land on a tank, measured from the pull.

First week of the season, so gear is low and every timing here moves as it rises.Every run is a kill. The leaderboard holds no wipes, so nothing here shows what going wrong looks like.

What the ramp looks like

Taken from what these runs cast in the thirty seconds before the heaviest damage of each stage. Procs are left out, because a proc is not a decision: Twin Flame fires when Essence Burst is consumed, and Merithra's Blessing is a passive that upgrades your next Reversion.

Stasis

Held time is how long the charges sat banked before release. A long hold means Stasis was filled during downtime and spent later; a short one means it was filled and released inside the same window, which is a different tool.

What they were playing

The loadout most of these runs shared. A real build somebody imported rather than an average: a build assembled from per-talent take rates can overspend the point budget or take both halves of a choice node, which is not a build anybody can play. The full spread by key level lives on the talents page.

What is doing the damage

Per stage, the abilities that hit somebody other than a tank hardest, totalled across the whole stage and averaged per run. These are stage totals, so they are much larger than the five second figure in the table above and the two do not compare.

A raid total is not a healing requirement and neither is this. It is what the group took, with most of a tank's share deliberately left out.

How these numbers were measured

Runs come from Warcraft Logs. Preservation Evoker only, The Venomous Abyss only.

2075 logged runs across 9 bosses, cut into 7555 phase segments. Every one is a kill, because the ranking board these came from holds nothing else, so nothing here describes a fight going wrong.

Runs whose event stream was cut short are excluded, because their totals would be low by an amount nobody can measure. None have hit that yet.

An ability is called part of the ramp only if it appears in at least 60 percent of the runs with ramp casts for that pull. One player's habit on one key does not reach the page.

Casts are only collected from the 30 seconds before a damage spike. That is a setting, not a finding, so nothing here can tell you whether a ramp starts earlier than that. Where you see a window, it is the window we looked in.

Ramps are worked out one run at a time and then compared, rather than by taking each ability's average timing separately. Doing it the second way produced ramps of six casts inside four seconds, which is faster than the game allows anyone to press buttons.

Damage figures are the whole party added together. Nothing here records who took the damage, and most autoattack damage lands on the tank. Use these numbers to compare one pull against another. They are not an amount you have to heal.
