Bug Trio Alternate Kill Orders

Necrotoid · 09/07/06, 1:12 PM

We're working on Ouro now, so I'm wondering how much time you think would be put into learning the Kri last strategy (as opposed to Vem last). We can reliably one shot the Trio each week, and we only go kill them when we don't have enough time to work on a progression boss.

I assume the order for this strat is Yauj - Vem - Kri? How much NR would you wear for this, compared to say Viscidus: the other raid-NR check (Huhuran being a melee-NR check).

I'm being completely serious: Killing Kri last is *significantly* easier than every other order we've ever done.

Essentially, we pull Kri to the right side of the room with a tank and some healers. Then Vem/Yauj are held on the opposite side and we dps Yauj down asap. Then Vem is killed by stacking all the dps on that side of the room together to negate the charge. Once those two die Kri berserks for +100% dmg +150% attack speed but still doesn't hit too hard, plus if you want at that point you can shield wall. With all your dps on Kri and fears/heals he goes down in no time.

As for NR, I don't think we really wore any. The only people getting bolted were the MT and MT healers so we just had some extra heals on them. Wearing about 100ish NR will help a bit though.

Very interesting. Will try when we have a free moment next time!

A nice bonus is that when Kri dies you get to see who is willing to pay dura to see what loot dropped.

Do you have a photo of a plaque that announces you as having a degree in WoW that I can show my guildmates? I've been trying to convince them to kill Kri last for a while now. We've killed Yauj once and Vem like 25 billion fuckin times and we ALWAYS get that STUPID plate belt and other USELESS items from those two.

The only reason for us to kill Vem is for the healing neck. There is NO reason for us to kill Yauj. Whereas Kri drops a healing ring, a caster wand and a leather chestpiece that we could easily make use of.

Everything else is basically 1 or 2 nexus crystals.

I have the wand from Kri, does that count?

Silly Bibdy, thats what happens when a guild is dominated by the warrior personalities. ;)

The ironic part is that Kri drops that STUPID belt as well!!

Until we killed Kri last every week was basically:

Triad Girdle
Boots of the Fallen Hero

We had generally always done Vem and once or twice Yauj until recently when we started doing Kri last. Like Nurru said, it is not that difficult at all. It took us I believe two attempts to kill Kri last after we learned the strategy.

We tank Kri in the alcove on the farthest side of the room from the entrance on the left and Yauj/Vem on the side where they all start at. The poision usually hits just the Kri tank/healers and some people who are chasing after Vem/Kri or are too close. Once you kill Yauj the fight is pretty much over. If the healers on Kri are doing fine you can take your time killing Vem and lets healers regen some mana if they're low. Once Vem is dead you just have the tanks blow shieldwall, it may take multiple tanks depending on how lucky you get with poisions which will tie up a lot of the healers cleansing. Oh and make sure to run in and loot him to check out phat loots.

we have had the bug family on farm for a bit (maybe 5 total kills?). we always kill kri, yauj, and then vem last. the last 2 kills we got a regala (elementium ore casters quest peaice). pretty sweet deal considering its 5% drop rate.

Real men kill Vem first.

This means I can finally loot that Ring of the Devoured when we kill Kri last this week right?
