-Falling below the minimum sustained DPS on Nexona causes the power drain, which is very easy to deal with, but try to prevent it.

The difficulty of the fight is balancing your assets such that everyone is putting their DPS/debuffs/control in the right place at the right time. It's not your typical tank-n-spank; not even close. It's chaotic, there's a lot going on, and communication is key. Be thankful that you have an asset as powerful as VOIP chat. =)

All in all, its a damn fun fight.

And then you get Mythicals, and just wish you could actually have fun on this fight when you realize that you are fucked because you do too much DPS now.

Which SoE then counters by adding so much lag to the raids that having mythicals is simply a counter to the decreased dps the lag causes.

Yeah, having killed Nexona several times in the past, and finally getting Druushk down after the fix, that lag is pretty horrendous without a full raid of mythicals. Got the bitch down though, and I must say the mythicals are well worth it.

Did they up the difficulty of Nexona with the latest update? Haven't seen it first hand but have heard rumours to that effect.

not really, just "nerfed" casters a bit in the hit rate dept...but as long as you keep it debuffed its not too bad

the same as b4. we still wipe due to the drakes lol.

WTF

I really want to learn how to mez them, but i am a pal

from what i have gathered it seems like a very interesting fight and can't wait to pull him this weekend. I was curious though what was the original script like? apparently he was noobsauce compared to now.
