User:GoldenYak/Trial of Eight Legs

Within the Chamber of Ten Thousand Legs, the nerubians have called many hundreds of giant spiders. Only those who endure every horror can claim the rewards of the Trial of Eight Legs. The trial is begun by speaking with the Arach'layn warrior Zephon the Venomous.



Hadronox's Abilities




Maexxna's Abilities










Visoraxx's Abilities
Visoraxx spawns with 20 Cocooned Victims that can be targeted and destroyed. Destroyed cocoons spawn living enemy adds. At 25% health, Visoraxx will gain a stacking buff called Ravenous Hunger that increases his damage by a huge amount. Visoraxx will begin feasting on every cocoon that remains, restoring his health by 5% per cocoon. The cocoons will be destroyed by this and each destroyed cocoon will spawn a Withered Web Mummy. Every cocoon destroyed in this manner will remove a stack of Ravenous Hunger. The key to the encounter is destroying enough cocoons that players are not overwhelmed by Withered Web Mummies, but leaving enough so that Visoraxx' Ravenous Hunger is reduced to a manageable amount.









Strategy
The trial consists of eight waves in total.


 * 1 - Low number of elite mobs, low number of non-elites
 * 2 - Low number of elite mobs, moderate number of non-elites
 * 3 - Hadronox
 * 4 - Moderate number of elite mobs, moderate number of non-elites
 * 5 - Moderate number of elite mobs, high number of non-elites
 * 6 - Maexxna
 * 7 - High number of elite mobs, moderate number of non-elites
 * 8 - Visoraxx

Players will only be able to advance through the gauntlet by defeating a boss in a certain number of tries. For example, if players wipe 6 times before defeating Hadronox, they will forfeit the entire event. Defeating a boss allows for the event to continue and resets the number of tries. Hadronox and Maexxna award points on the first defeat, but no additional points on subsequent defeats. Defeating the entire event with few or no wipes will award better loot.


 * 8+ wipes - Standard loot drop
 * 4-7 wipes - Standard loot drop + 1
 * 1-3 wipes - Standard loot drop + 2
 * No wipes - Standard loot drop + 2 + Riding Spider Mount

Achievement

 * Trial of Eight Legs - Overcome the Trial of Eight Legs by defeating Visoraxx.
 * Down Comes the Rain - Defeat Hadronox, Maexxna, and Visoraxx in a single run without restarting at any point.
