The crypt was Nerfed to stop war/cler from duoing it after Coltaine went through and duo'd the crypt. The same thing is happening now with IVU, ala Rarok. This change specifically made the crypt harder exponentially, whilst leaving those it meant to target to continue to farm named.

previously you could pull the crypt golems at the ent singly. Now they are linked. Also there are 3 undead frogs on either side of the walls with the named doors. These have been added for bob knows what reason. What you do now to get past all this duo, is to IVU your cleric. Barrier run the golems to one side, and run your cleric to the other end where the door past crypt is. Than drag your war body, rez , buff and ivu up to named area. where u proceed to kill the named, than ivu to next area , thus avoiding the golems which tear up groups and continuingto farm the named.
Well...
I just tested this tonight (6/3/04), and was able to sucessfully split the two golems not once, not twice, but three times on the first try each time. As for the frogs, they have been that way for quite a while. Having the golems both aggro shouldnt have too much of an effect at all, since you will still need a FD puller to split the guard frogs on each side. The crypt is no more or less groupable now than it has been for the last month+. For the number of named and the quality of loot, I would say this area is quite in line with risk/reward.
EDIT: Actually, you are wrong all together, the golems are not linked, as I was able to single pull one right off the bat just now. I went into my pull experiment assuming both would come like you said, so I was pet splitting and aggroing both to split them. However, if you aggro one, only one comes.

I am wrong than. They were linked at one time, this has changed. There was a time when it was just 1 middle roamer golem and 1 frog on each side. This is still doable with a FD puller albeit harder than before. Versus the loot , the risk is reasonable. I still believe that crypt shouldn't be duo-able.
