"Event scaling[edit]

Events scale both up and down according to the number of players who are currently participating. ^[3] Events can scale in a number of ways:

• Enemy level can be increased
• Enemies can gain new abilities
• New enemy types may appear, including veterans, elites, or even champion versions
• Enemy count can be increased
• Objective requirements may increase

Champion enemies associated with the event will never increase in level due to scaling; this often results in elite foes that are more dangerous than the champions.

Most events scale for up to 10 players.^[4] Group events and large scale events such as the finale for meta events will scale much higher. For example, The Shatterer scales up to 100 players.^[5]

Events will scale according to the number of players around. Even a player that is not participating will scale the event up. A player that moves away, either by walking or waypointing, will immediately scale the event down.^[6]"

Heyh, health checking tool was finally updated so was able to do a quick check..

Base healths for bosses (no scaling):

• Shurakk the Savage: 1 101 072
• Boom-Boom Baines: 1 376 340
• Pyroxis: 1 376 340
• Kuraii the Cruel: 1 376 340
• Sparcus Firesplash: 1 376 340
• Wiggin the Wicked: 1 513 974

1-4 players cause no scaling. After that, every players adds 20% of the base value. So with five players bosses have 120% health, with 10 players 220% and with 50 players 1020% health.

Dividing total health with players gives:

• 1 player: 100% base health per player
• 2 players: 50% base health per player
• 3 players: 33% base health per player
• 4 players: 25% base health per player
• 5 players: 24% base health per player
• 6 players: 23% base health per player
• 7 players: 23% base health per player
• 8 players: 23% base health per player
• 9 players: 22% base health per player
• 10 players: 22% base health per player
• 50 players: 20% base health per player

What this shows that it scales actually pretty fair. Regardless of people, health per player stays roughly same which means "time to kill" also stays roughly same. Obviously you should have at least 4 players on each boss.

Unfortunately this also means that it's (mathematically) better to leave if you can't beat or get close to the average DPS of the group.

Edit: Did some testing on scaling mechanic.

Seems to be entirely ranged based. Within ~1800 range (http://imgur.com/MP530jz) you scale the boss up. Once you move out it immediately scales down.

Defeated players and out-of-combat players also count. Health went immediately down when I TPed back to middle."
