We had more damage, and when I saw very few people die after the call to spawn Lore, I knew we had it. What stopped us in the past was either not having enough damage period, or in a couple cases we probably had the damage but the league did not have enough practice dodging lightning and the lore pets all died too quickly. This time most of the Lore pets were hammering Tyrant throughout the final phase so his health was not bouncing back up as high. Once we could sustain keeping him in the low 20s, it was just a matter of timing.

Demorecords don't visually show interface elements, but maybe I can extract Tyrant health from the data because I had him targeted the entire time. Might be fun to superimpose an estimate of his health on the video, if I can figure out how to do that.

Still working on the video, in the meantime I did find Tyrant's health in the demorecord. This is how we took him down, in terms of his health:



Timescale at bottom is in milliseconds, so it took a bit more than eight minutes total from the moment we first engaged him. You can really see his increasing regeneration in there: every jump upward is one 5% regeneration tick, and starting around half health they start getting increasingly frequent. At the end he's recovering about 5% every 5 seconds, or 1% per second, or about 1365 h/s.

The critical moment, I believe, comes at just after the six minute mark where I believe Lore pets were called. We hover around 30% because I think we were still casting pets and getting back into sync with the lightning. At the seven minute mark something happens and everyone begins pounding on Tyrant much faster, and we plummet to about 20% quickly. One last adjustment in the high teens and thirty seconds later he's toast.

Lore pets were called the moment I noticed that he was at 38% hp. Would have been 39%, but I was dodging lightning at that moment :P

If I am right, that would have been about the 300000 mark on your graph.

Checking the logs, you called for Lore at about 310s into the fight (309762 on the graph). The next lightning burst took place at 321199, or about 321s. That jump upward just past 330s is probably the pause in damage from players casting Lore pets after the lightning storms expired.

And at the highest quality I can reasonably upload to youtube, here's the video of that run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txZg2B_oomI

I zone through the portal at 1:05 and Tyrant goes down at about 19:45 - just over 18 minutes 30 seconds from beginning to end. Your call for Lore happens at about 16:33 if you want to see what happens from that moment to the end.

Also, the main IDF spawn in at 1:34 and Black Swan goes down at just about 10:00, which means we defeated Black Swan eight minutes twenty six seconds into the trial, just twenty six seconds short of getting Ready to Rumble on that run without actually trying.
