Play the guy that does nothing but run around and collect shinies. Do that for 3-4 VP runs and then let me know how much you like the fight.

DPS caps are stupid also.

Can an individual's DPS being too high cause Strike of the Scale, or only collective DPS being too high?

For example:
10 people avg 3k DPS (30k DPS) = safe
9 people avg 2.5k DPS + 1 person at 4k DPS (26.5k DPS) = Strike of the Scale due to the one 4k DPS person?

I'd have to say it's collective. Assuming it's the same way when dps is too low and it causes the power drain, there are often times many people that are killing the adds, or even healers on the name that would be dps'ing too low...but this hasn't caused a power drain, only collectively. Wouldn't be hard to test.

Don't know for certain, but I'm fairly sure it's the whole raid's DPS that matters.
If it were any different, double attacks could get you in serious trouble.

But Low DPS has to be that gay ass power-drain that nexona does, or well something. Because that power-drain happens only during periods of EXTREMELY low-dps.

The power drain is weird cause it will alaso hit us when we are maintaining about 20-22k dps. As for spirit slam it seems like when u get 3 shinies up it hits.

Just started this mob last night anyone have a rough estimate what the DPS ceiling is for Nexona?

Having never even been into VP and reading this, I'd guess the upper range was near the 35-40k mark.

Summary:

Spirit Slam = 1 shiny up too long (ie - make sure you kill them in the order they spawn)
Decimation = 3 shinies up and you die

Strike of the Scale = too High DPS on Nexona (>~20k on Nexona) and you die
Power Drain = too Low DPS on Nexona

Basically try to stay between 10k-20k dps on Nexona and kill all the shinies in the order they spawn.

It helps to put the shiny poppers in a fury group so they can give them their heal.

Make sure dps has noxious potions for Rot and healers need to ward and keep regens going to give time to cure.

Have a good mezzer(s) that can lock down the drakes as they spawn from the pool

It works well to have the MT keep track of the dps on Nexona since they are usually out of range of the add dps.

Actually, Spirit Slam is triggering a shiny that's newer than one that's been up I believe.
