Default Re: Nexona - The Best Fight Ever in EQ2

This is only reason why I don't see all the reason for bitching - most loot seems normal to me...example. Based on having the best non-raid obtainable items on me as I hit them here is how it worked.

*EoF Raid - number of items I desired from it* - assuming I am obtaining gear from them progressively. (not counting set gear and excluding the availability of contested loot tables) I also came into EoF as my first time in the raiding scene.

CWMF - 1 (maybe 2)
FTHO - 5
MMIS - 0 (set gear fest)
EH - 4 (counting vine wraps + another set gear fest zone)

11 total non set gear/contested items desired


(t1)
PR - 3
Thuuga - 0
Pawbuster - 0

(t2)
Kor-sha - 2
Venril - 1

(t3)
Lev - 1

(t4)
VP - 4


11 total non set gear/contested items desired.



so uhhhhh, what the fuck?


EDIT: I excluded ToNT because it was added very late in EoF and the same thing could happen with this Xpack for all we know.

Maybe harder just means its a new script? I mean, everyone screams bloody murder

UNKILLABLE!!!!

and then people start figuring out the scripts and then the mobs start to die again. Theus, what you have is "figuring out the script" > loot. Especially seeing as most of those thru VP have opted for most of the T8 heroic legendary/fabled drops or their EoF phat lewtZ, rather than VP "upgrades", I think the loot argument is moot...

Still, it kinda sucks having the T4 speedbump turned into rolling foothills. I'll worry about Nexona when I'm done wearing fish suits.

AFAIK two classes need Nexona, inquisitor and necro. So you don't even need to kill Nexona at all, unless those two classes need their updates.

That said the fight is a lot of fun and pretty hectic, but I'm sure it will be changed.

If not I can see people killing Nexona for mythical class updates when needed and until their dirges get Incandescent Blade and then just leaving her there until after the loot revamp, cuz the loot she has now definately isn't worth the effort if you don't have a class in raid who needs her for their mythical.

Oh, I agree, beating something hard is its own reward. The first time. But what about next week? :/

How would you progress w/o killing her ? Unless you mean to use some exploit to bypass the wall that drops when you clear the wing.

well in that case you mind them removing all your VP gear since they are changing the encounters.

The wings have to be cleared to open the next wing i.e. spawn mobs.

Same as Emerald Halls was with the floors. i.e. floors would have to be cleared to open the door... you could get past the door but no mobs.
