    Vassago Alternate Strat.

    I'm just going to throw this out there to see if anybody has done this to see if it's a viable strategy. Is there anything to prohibit sending a tank and healer to all 3 Vassago's and the rest of alliance gang raping one of them and then cycling around to another. The other night we had two mnk's and a war go rouge and jump in on another parties Vassago. That one went down considerably faster than the other two. which in lead to the remaining getting raped pretty quickly because the finished party split in half to help out.


    What do you guys think about this strat, would it work or is there a problem I couldn't see because I was tanking one of them and was kinda focused on that at the time.

    Never tested it, have absolutely no idea

    Someone once said if one of them die first, and they don't die in similar time, they will speed up the middle bomb blowing up

    Again, unsure if true or not

    It's not a hard fight and all dpsing one isn't any faster than dpsing them all simultaneously.

    This seems like it would be a pretty good way to do it. I'd say all ranged should stay toward the middle and take out the bomb adds when they appear. Melee dps just stay on the Vassago so they're not wasting time running after bombs.

    If any vassago is of a certain HP lower then the others it gets a determination buff which greatly reduces damage taken so it's much faster to just evenly split dps since the damage taken reduction is quite high.

    Dps is no faster, just more running around I think. Having the groups spread out also makes beating down adds easier.

    If you don't kill them all relatively close together the bomb explodes and instantly wipes the group. First hand experience on that one there.
