So, the Nightmare Fairy (any relation to the "Good Idea Fairy"?) is tougher than Jack, makes the WWE look like Pencil Neck Geeks (300-400 Wrestling skill), has the calming power of the Dryad, and can spawn as Paragon? Did anyone ever consider what the sum of those parts mean on the half of the shards with a low population?
Most of the active non-red players currently on Lake Austin have been fighting a paragon Nightmare Fairy now for over 2 hours. We've not been able to drop it below the high 90s% health (and it often heals up to apparent full). Between the continuous lesser spawn constantly respawning as we fight, and the fact that we quickly find ourselves all calmed (and can't keep the NF from switching targets to the Vets, and the mages/mystics have to cast summons then duck around a corner, and even that doesn't work half the time), the event has pretty much come to a screeching halt, after we were able to make 2-3 cycles through the entire spawn progression with less people from the afternoon through 8 Eastern. We've even begged the reds to find blue characters to come help, and still no progress with even that.
The other bosses are beatable paragon - this Paragon Nightmare Fairy is more like Freddy Kruegar.
