Monster Play: Spider Weaver


By: Martuk

The Spider Weaver is a deadly opponent that can use the shadows to its advantage to hide from its enemies. A useful strategy for the Spider Weaver in combat PvP is to track opponents who wander too far from their allies. When these poor souls are alone the Spider Weaver can attack by locking them into place making them unable to move. If the Spider Weaver brought allies this is a prime setting for destroying one of your enemies. The Weaver can keep them on lock down while its allies destroy him.

As a Spider Weaver you want to avoid being caught alone. One on one you might stand a chance with your powerful magic and melee skills, but against more than one foe you are likely to meet your doom. A Spider Weaver is at home on the edge of the battle as opposed to directly in it. They best serve their group from the back by slowing and poisoning their enemies.
