Nymrissa Wavecaller: who failed which mechanic
On Nymrissa Wavecaller, LogSnitch checks 9 mechanics on Mythic (6 on Normal): 4 can charge a player with a mistake, 1 judges the tanks, 2 are credit and 2 are shown as facts, since the log cannot say who failed them. Each is read pull by pull.
Which Nymrissa Wavecaller mechanics count as mistakes?
Each of these charges the player who made the mistake, pull by pull. Counts follow Warcraft Logs': direct hits, not ticks (hits vs ticks).
| Mechanic | Phase | Judged as | What counts | On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frost Burst | Phase 1 | Soak | Being out of a short soak | Mythic |
| Swirling Whirlpools | Phase 1 | Avoidable damage | Each hit, or each stay for a puddle | All |
| Lingering Frost | — | Avoidable damage | Each hit, or each stay for a puddle | All |
| Wild Bite | — | Avoidable damage | Each bite landing | All |
What are the tanks judged on?
A tank buster is judged on whether a defensive or an external was up on each hit, counting only defensives that tank is seen pressing in the report. Stacks are judged only where the guide states a limit; otherwise how long each tank held them is shown.
| Mechanic | Phase | Judged as | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iceblade Flurry | Phase 1 | Tank mechanic | All |
Which mechanics are credit?
Here taking it, killing it or kicking it is the job, so each is credit to the player who did it, never a mark against anyone.
| Mechanic | Phase | Judged as | What counts | On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilling Frost | Phase 1 | Collect | Each one taken; a missed one is the raid's | All |
| Water Jet | Phase 1 | Collect | Each one taken; a missed one is the raid's | Mythic |
What does the log leave unjudged?
The log records the damage of these, not who was at fault: a raid-wide job, a placement or a puzzle it cannot see, or a guide that never says what failing looks like. They are shown as facts and nobody is charged.
| Mechanic | Phase | Judged as | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alluring Bubble | Phase 1 | Raid job | All |
| Waterfog Shield | Phase 1 | Raid job | Mythic |
What changes on Heroic and Mythic?
- Frost Burst is checked on Mythic only: on an easier pull it never happens, so it is never judged there.
- Water Jet is checked on Mythic only: on an easier pull it never happens, so it is never judged there.
- Waterfog Shield is checked on Mythic only: on an easier pull it never happens, so it is never judged there.
How does LogSnitch read Nymrissa Wavecaller?
- Chilling Frost is credit: the log names its orbs Frost Orb, and soaking one by running through it is what the raid needs.
- Lingering Frost, the ice a soaked orb leaves behind, is watched as avoidable damage though the guide does not list it.
- Wild Bite: staying in the water too long gets you bitten, counted as the bite landing.
- Iceblade Flurry is five or six hits, roughly one per second, all covered by a single defensive, so the tank is judged once per cast.
- Alluring Bubble is measured by its Pop!, what it costs when the murlocs reach it.
Which mechanics are left out?
- Abyssal Rain: Unavoidable damage — there is nothing the player could have done.
- Unending Tides: A fight-wide timer, not something one player can act on.
How do I check a pull of Nymrissa Wavecaller myself?
Check it on Warcraft Logs
- Open the report on warcraftlogs.com and pick the pull.
- For a mechanic to avoid, open Damage Taken, select the ability and read each player's hits (the ticks are the cost).
- For a debuff to carry, pair or dispel, open Debuffs and the ability; for kicks, Interrupts; for who died to what, Deaths.
- Compare with LogSnitch's card for the mechanic: the same pull, the same players, the same counts, and a note wherever it deliberately differs.
