King's Rest — Mythic+ Guide
Aggregated from 30 top WarcraftLogs key runs (148 deaths studied). Interrupt rates show what the best groups actually kick — a priority list straight from the data.
This page breaks down interrupt and death data for King's Rest Mythic+ from 30 top-ranked WarcraftLogs runs. The kick rate shows how often top groups interrupt a specific cast, and the deadliest list ranks abilities by the number of deaths they caused in the sample. Use these numbers to prioritize your own kicks and cooldowns.
Top groups consistently interrupt Poison Nova (97%) and Soul Bolt (87%), so treat those as must-kicks. Wretched Discharge is both a must-kick (81%) and the second deadliest ability (14 deaths), meaning a missed kick is often fatal. Wail of Mourning caused the most deaths (17) but isn't interruptible, so plan defensives for it. Heavy Slams (13 deaths) and Suppression Slam (10 deaths) also demand attention.
When reading the table, focus on abilities with high kick rates and high death counts—those are the ones top players prioritize. If you're pugging, call out Wretched Discharge and Poison Nova early, as they're the most consistently punished by skilled groups.
