Heroic Elite HP Scaling with 1, 2 and 6 people in an instance

[Deathdefy]

I'm using the Last Stand because it has Sahuagin and I have Sahuagin Mastery.

No hirelings / pets / anything else used.

Last Boss HP:
Solo - 2387 - http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...ite1Person.jpg
Duo - 2484 - http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...ite2people.jpg
Full Party - 2657 - http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...ite6people.jpg

Conclusion: elite HP doesn't scale much, which is good! It does scale some though, which is bad.

There is also some randomness in the figures, but I lack the pull to conscript 5 others into running this thing multiple times on elite.

I also evidently lack the ability to be able to do this at level without mild stress. I do not need mild stress.

I have an LFM up on Khyber right now to try and get a 4 person party, but I'm pessimistic. If anyone is bored though....


EDIT: Also, in the Duo one I was a sorc, not an artificer / ranger mutt. Darn it. Someone should do this actually scientifically some day.

I think to me the biggest boon in scaling when I'm alone vs. a group isn't a difference in hp on the mobs, I'm used to having to do about x damage to mob y to kill it, but in the seriously reduced NUMBER of mobs so that I can actually kill things and not be instadead from big swarms. I also think the bosses seem to use their really devestating spells/abilities less often in smaller groups, but that is anecdotal, take it or leave it as a turtle's observation and not worth much more than that. : )

Keep in mind monster hp is rolled randomly, so unless all sceenshots are from the same instance and same monster, the results aren't telling us much.

It could well scale as much as normal, just the boss rolled high on hp while solo, yet low while you grouped.

From what i've seen it scales pretty much as much as N/H. Tho you hit the maximum 100% rate sooner, as the minimum scaling starts at like 40% instead of 30% (depending on your lvl vs quest lvl/class/other factors).
