I use my ranger to farm it in HM. I plan on dying one time during the run, however.
SS
Price of Failure
Reckless Haste
Consume Corpse
Edge of Extinction
Dodge
Zojun's Haste
Troll (not really necessary unless you get a rogue spider)
Come out of Rilohn and head left. The 1st group will have guys that can KD you so I get as close as them as I can (running) and then hit Dodge as I weave through them. Zojun's Haste as Dodge is finishing will just get you past the point where they drop aggro. Sometimes you take a little beating but live. Then, I backtrack slightly to take the trail down to the spider activation point. I run through that using Dodge just to the point where the terrain opens up. During that short run I have clicked on the Wandering Priest at the shrine across the way so I only have to spacebar when I resurrect after death. So yes, here I die at the hands of the spiders. There's no way around it solo with a ranger as far as I know. I try to die here so that the Kournan's don't get any aggro and needlessly leave their base.
So, after resurrecting, I spacebar the priest and get the insect bonus and immediately hit Zojun's to start running back towards the spiders but take the ramp up to the right. You may have Kournan's chasing you so use Dodge right after Zojun's and keep running up the ramp. The Kournan's will give up. Continue following the ramp up and lay down EoE. While dropping EoE, target Zelnehlun and zoom out. Run about midway across the bridge right near you and cast SS, PoF, and RH on Zel. Watch all the -29's or -31s. Tab around to find a spider than may not be getting hit with SS and then cast SS on it when it has recharged. Re-target Zel and use another SS if necessary on him. After this, 9/10 times all spiders will be dead. Consume Corpse drops you onto the loot.
