FOW spider run trouble - Guild Wars Forums

jimmyboveto · Nov 01, 2006, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Ok, so i go on guildwiki, and find a fow spider run build. I set up, and after about the 4th try i finally make it all the way through the shore to the cave (and 1 shard on teh way, w00t). When i get to the cave, i manage to pull one group of spiders, and start to atack. However, i spent about five minutes trying to kill them, and they woudn't die! I think this is probably because my only offensive skills r sever, gash, and dragon slash. What i want to know is.... Should i replace one of my defensive skills for an extra offensive, and if so, what offensive skill should i introduce to my build?

thx in advanced for all the help

cool, ractho's build was helpful, but wouldn't it be better to have physical resistance instead of doylak signet? I think il take out doylak i have right now and put in silverwing, and also replace dragon slash with hundred blades.

That sound ok?

u need to spread them out if u have trouble killing them.

k, i think il leave doylaks and dump watch yourself. That way i wouldn't even need any tactics attribute. Thx

You can't kill them because you are, in a way, healing them. Sever Artery causes Bleeding, and Gash causes Deep Wound. The Spiders use Melandru's Resilience, so by putting those conditions on them, you are giving them the ability to far outheal your damage capabilities (+6 Health Regeneration and +2 Energy Regeneration, just from those two conditions). Get rid of Sever Artery and Gash, keep Dragon Slash (or replace it with Hundred Blades, but Dragon Slash actually is more efficient in the long run). Once you drop the skills that are actually giving them a way to heal, you should have no problem killing them.

By the way, how do you intend to heal yourself with no attribute points in Tactics?

Thx, u helped a lot Faer! Lol, i forgot about healing sig using tactics. I think i won't drop any of my defense skills, and just replace server and gash with galrath slash and sun and moon slash.

Thx a bunch
