Vashnik the Malignant: who failed which mechanic

Each of these charges the player who made the mistake, pull by pull. Counts follow Warcraft Logs': direct hits, not ticks (hits vs ticks).

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.

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.

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.

• Malignant Catalyst is checked on Heroic and Mythic only: on an easier pull it never happens, so it is never judged there.
• Malignant Tumor is checked on Mythic only: on an easier pull it never happens, so it is never judged there.

• Plague Froth is one card for two mistakes: staying two pulses or more in someone else's circle, and each Plague Wave hit the marks set off as they end. A single pulse at a circle's edge is walking through, not a mistake.
• Malignant Tumor (Mythic): the tumors are totems. LogSnitch counts how many were destroyed and each Malignance a surviving one casts on the raid; who destroyed each one is not in the log.
• Exploding Infection: guides say standing away from an explosion reduces it, but in the logs checked every player took the same Caustic Explosion damage before mitigation from 1 to 59 yards away. Standing close is therefore never charged.
• Malignant Catalyst is credit: soaking Catalytic Bile counts for the soaker, and a bile circle nobody soaked goes off and counts for the raid.
• Burning Venom adds are credited to whoever damaged them; they only cast as they die, so their lives are not timed.

• Stygian Infection: Unavoidable damage — there is nothing the player could have done.
• Toxic Vapor: Unavoidable damage — there is nothing the player could have done.
