Ruby Life Pools — Mythic+ Guide
Aggregated from 30 top WarcraftLogs key runs (89 deaths studied). Interrupt rates show what the best groups actually kick — a priority list straight from the data.
This page breaks down interrupt priority and death causes in Ruby Life Pools Mythic+, based on 30 top-ranked WarcraftLogs runs (89 deaths total). We ranked casts by how often top groups kick them: 'must' means 90%+ kick rate, 'high' means 60-89%. The deadliest abilities are those that caused the most deaths in the sample, regardless of kick rate.
Top takeaways: Thunder Blast (95% kick rate) and Frigid Shard (94%) are the most consistently interrupted casts—treat them as your must-kicks. Blaze Volley (90%) and Fiery Blast (75%) are also critical. For deaths, Living Bomb leads with 16 deaths, followed by Melee (12) and Lightning Torrent/Earthbound's Imprint (10 each). This suggests that even with good kicking, certain abilities (especially Living Bomb) need cooldowns or positioning, not just interrupts.
Use the kick rate column to plan your personal priority: if you see Thunder Blast or Frigid Shard being cast, interrupt immediately. For the deadliest list, note that Melee deaths often come from tank pulls or overaggro—keep an eye on threat. The data reflects top-level play, so your group's mileage may vary, but these are the casts worth tracking.
