very easy for my lvl 46 wizz. just root and nuke. they conned dark blue. decent exp. the loot was only a few gold and mybe some spider silk out of my kills
charm kite these,you can easily charmkite a whole swarm of spiders,but alot of danger and risk because of root,dd and poison,i prefer to kill swarms of drovlargs because i personally hate killing spellcasters cause its very risky to have alot without good resist
I got something special off of one, I'm not sure if it's worth anything quest wise or not, but definitely sounds like a quest item, and i'm not certain which spider dropped it but it was by the SE ruins...
Vial of Drachnid Blood MAGICAL LORE ITEM NO DROP Weight 5.0 ALL / ALL
These guys are a mutation between Dark Elves and spiders, much like the Driders from ADaD. The leg tip is a magic piecer, and sells for around 1pp in a vendor. They have a fairly good magic resist, high hits, and when running, they can match a SoW. Hard, but good exp at low lvl's (40-44).
Off of one of these guy i got a magic lore drachnid leg think that was 6/27 0.0wt, its cool i haven tried it on a PC yet because my pally couldn't euip it but it was flooting around the hand of the thing besides in the hand like the the daggers that droped off the others.
I've got Jboots and these baddies had no problem catching me. I assume they are modelled after druid since they have dmg shield, stinging swarm dot, and it appears SoW. Just an FYI.
They do NOT have sow cause I do have sow as a shaman and I can easily out run them, infact I'm left waiting near the north wall...30 minutes or my exp is free?
As a high lvl shaman your SoW will outpace the built in SoW of Jboots. Why? Because SoW gets zippier as your level increases. I'd rather have a SoW from a 35 shammy over a lower lvl SoW anyday.
Mobs, however, don't seem to have this boon. A mob that can SoW itself/others will SoW at the same low level every time.
Good thing for us they don't get xp from our deaths. DL would be up to a lvl 60 zone by now. )
these guys have a wicked dot. for a lvl 40 slight twink warrior the stinging swarm does about 2-3 bubs of dmg. it killed my necro in like 2 minutes tho....ouch
Hehe; I know what you mean...but I'm a 33 cleric talked into coming to DL early by guildies, and I coped despite a fair dose of arachnophobia. Maybe it's easier because they're kinda cute, being half-DE and all... =)
