So because your DPS sucks at the game, you can't kill it till you replace them? I think that's a good thing. People who suck at the game shouldn't be able to kill hard mobs. Get better, kill it.

More enrage timers, please!

This is frustrating.

My guild raids 3 days a week and due to attendance and so forth, we've always geared ourselves more towards survivability than towards dps.

We've pulled this guy 90+ times. Many 7+ Minutes

We think we understand the fight well. But make no progress on Nexona.

We only use 2 shiny clickers.

We kill 3 phylacteries on the pull.

We get a shiny, harvest it and kill it.

While its floating to us we get another shiny, we've tried waiting to harvest it until first one is dead, and we've tried harvesting it immediately.

We can keep going and cycling the X2 without getting the failure AoEs, but we can't kill quick enough (with the long pathing) to get more than 4 phylacteries dead, and the named to 88% (after we let her eat the fifth.

This is really kirking us out. We just simply haven't, yet, been able to get ahead of the X2's enough to physically kill the last phylactery, and haven't had time to get damage on the dragon

We are at a point where our tank isn't exploding, we're not getting the powerdrained more than perhaps once on a 8-9 minute pull, but we make no progress on nexona.

We seem to understand the fight, but the X2's are just not dying at a quick enough pace.

For a 3 day a week guild, we usually do content fairly quickly, we have great leadership and organization as well as good understand of game mechanics... But we just suck this round.

Is it our DPS thats keeping us from winning?

Your game mechanics thought just aren't good enough if your DPS is that lacking. By the way, your best bet is to use 1 shiny bitch for the lower 4, and then when the emote comes up have 2 people go and check the top 2 sides, while the MT group dirge checks the one right under Nexona(assuming you pull where Nexona stands). That way you have the least amount of people used up and you can be able to have as much DPS as possible.

The other thing is, are your groups properly organized for max DPS? If not, that's your problem.

Thanks for the reply. We've re-evaluated our groups, positioning, clickers and strat. I think as long as we all bring our A-Game this fuck will die.

90+ pulls and i just want to climb in the computer and start killing her myself.

Its mostly an attendence thing atm, going thru heavy AFK period and not at Max DPS...I just think its sad that you guys can say your penalized for too much DPS, yet we're penalized for JUST having too little (like 1-2k would make or break this fight atm)...we've killed everything in T7, avatars etc, everything in RoK besides the obvious up until these changes...

first encounter ive come across where you NEED high DPS instead of smart gameplay, turn and burn, i like the encounter...i just hate anything that requires DPS to be at a certain point (reguardless high or low)

You should be penalized for sucking at DPS. If you suck at the game, you don't deserve to beat it.

We dont suck at the game, thats what Im saying, just going through heavy AFK period. This is the first encounter we've come across where DPS was our only issue. Thx for being a jackass though.

I do agree, there should be a penalty for sucking.

However, this mob, in the place its at in comparison to some of the other mobs and the loot that drops is way out of place.

There needs to be some kind of progression.

Conservative guilds who have no problem killing everything else in the game come to this mob and with the same numbers and the same dps and survivability completely fail... not that they come close and fail, just completely fail.

I hope that this is the start of a full re-vamp of the styles of encounters we face. I have no problem with being forced to do better, its just frustrating that we haven't been forced to be more streamline in times past.

Don't get me wrong, I think Nexona and Druushk shouldn't be where they are. I'd rather have VP been reverted to the old changes, then a VP: THE RETURN be added with no trash, new encounters(including current Nexona and Druushk), and new loot. That way, it doesn't slow anybody down, and it's more content for raiders!
