Was pugging and noticed a lot of heroic groups are 2 2 6? Do people normally use such a small raid group for heroic Ny’alotha?
I think the reason behind it is that bosses have a x amount of drops, so with less people in the raid you are almost 100% sure to get an item.
Other than that, bosses scale their health and damage the more players you have, so having 10 good players is much better/faster than 20 not so good players.
For example Maul fight. When it activates its mana shield, if only 6 people are doing decent damage and the other 8 people are doing bad DPS it is a sure wipe. But having only 6 DPS and all of them deal decent damage the fight is really easy.
Protip: size matters.
Small group size means its easier to search each member perfomance so less chance of retards.

Yeah a lot of raid mechanics are basically oneshot if someone messes up.
Much easier to curate a group of 10 than 30.

It works sometimes. But sometimes the mechanics don’t scale like health and you get mechanics that should only be affecting 30% of your raid affecting 100%
Doesn’t the total number of drops change with raid size?
Personal Loot has always dropped more items than Master Loot. You may be able to trade any piece you receive if you already own an piece of the same slot with higher item level.
On Mythic:
Master Loot generally drops 4 pieces
Personal Loot generally drops 6 pieces
On Normal and Heroic, every additional player above 10 that is in the raid adds an additional 20% chance for a boss to drop an additional piece of gear. This is due to the flexible nature of Normal and Heroic.
This. The size of the rooms don’t change based on the size of your raid either. So spreading mechanics, goo puddles, and fire on the floor are much easier to manage with only 10 people instead of 20 or 30. Less goo on the ground, more space to move, easier to get everyone working together, etc.
She said something like this before.
The minimum scaling for a raid is 10 people.
With such a small size there’s less chance of people messing up mechanics. N’zoth for example, is easy tier with 10 people.
Guild pugs or just some random dude?
I am not sure, that was only my first thought xd
