Today me and some guldies (and a whole map of other nice people) were pushing the Tarir Meta-Event from scratch to finish (and did it, yay) and I noticed something that bothered me. The scaling of event mobs, or more specific their life pool, seems to be quite extreme in different events and far too low in others.

I did the 3 pylons in the south of auric basin and met two quite extreme examples of this problem:

1) The charging champion dinoraus that spawns in the middle of one pylon questline. We were around 10-15 people there and it took us seriously around 8 minutes to kill this one mob.

2) On the other hand there is also a legendary wyvern at one of the south pylons and with basically the same amount of people we melted this legendary mob in under a minute.

There is generally a quite strange kind of scaling of mobs that makes some bronze mobs take longer to kill than champions, champions take 20x the time than a legendary.

Generally it felt quite exhausting to follow bronze husk minions that do nothing than running away and take ages to kill.

Anyone sharing my experience/thoughts and wants to add constructive feedback?

For #2, did you break his bar? If it’s like some of the other wyverns then you’ll do bonus damage. We did that for the one at the end of the Itzel chain in VB and burned him completely down with a mass of people in a single burn. That could be what you’re seeing. I haven’t done the AB meta chains often enough to really tell you though.

Of cours we broke his bar, but champions have bars too and we broke theirs like 20 times each fight ^^
It’s quite strange how the supposedly kitten legendary gets burn instantly and the normal champions don’t feel anything when you break their bar xD
