My guild is nothing compared to most of the guilds of the posters who post here. We are working on Cthun, havent killed Visc, and only have 1 naxx kill (Razuvious -- we haven't tried for more), but I will be completely honest about the bug family:

I had kept hearing how hard killing Kri last was. People made such a huge deal of it. On our very first try we got him to 18% and one of our OTs accidently taunted Kri and cleaved every single rogue to death. Two tries later he was dead. Killing Yauj first makes the entire encounter just like any other fight. Sure Kri hits hard as hell, we dropped a few stoneshields on the tank just to be safe, but in all honestly it really seemed just as easy IF NOT EASIER than doing Kri-->Yauj-->Vem.

Just my two cents.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

ARRRGGHHHHH!!!!
My condolences, I know people willing to brave PUG MC for Onslaught just to get away from that shitty belt. Not only is it pretty bad, but it's a serious mark of shame on any warrior who is sad enough to wear it.

you're the one that decided to trust me

Yeah our Kri kill last night was a server first as well! Its amazing how word of mouth spreads fear so effectively.

Incidentally, its exactly the same as what we experienced with Ouro. We heard 'stories' about how hard it was, tried it once (with quite possibly the most retarded strat you can think of), got butchered and never went back to him until 4-5 weeks ago.

Spend a few hours on the guy and BINGO, you figure out how it works, realise how stupidly easy it is and wish you'd been pummeling this loot pinata for months.

There's always free cheese in the mouse traps, but the mice there ain't happy.

I find this thread depressing. My guild can kill twin emps fairly easily now yet we haven't killed bug trio since the healing AI for mobs was improved so yauj started healing kri >_<

It's definitely a practice thing. We were on Emps, but still could spend a few hours on the damn Trio. Bad pull, bad coordination, hunters get run over and Vem runs wild, etc.

But around the same time we killed the Emps, we started one shotting the Trio. Extra tanks have gotten very comfortable chasing these jerks down, healers have learned how to move and stick with their groups, and especially the rogues warriors and mages have gotten FAR, FAR better at interrupting her. She used to heal 10+ times per encounter, and now she never gets one off. From my perspective, people have just gotten better at being very aware of their surroundings.

A very interesting encounter. Even more than the Emps (which is just rhythym) I think this fight emphasizes good raid coordination. Trio, Ouro and Cthun are the big training fights of the zone. Well, and Sart, because stupid people die.

DOT and rot.

Changes to loot tables to include gear that non-caster classes wanted didn't hurt either ;)
