Weaver is imposible to kill with some builds!

Having played her with different chars i know she isn't OP or anything, but some builds just can't kill her...

I play a LA Ranger (with not really good gear ATM) and it's just impossible for me to kill her.
The only ways to actually kill her are:
- Chaos Dmg (takes ages)
- Tank all the Adds along with Weaver herself
- Have enough damage to inst pop the Adds so you can actually hit the weaver

IMO, adds should stop spawning after you kill them, until you get Weaver down to a % health...

add any evasion based character to the list

that EK spell just kills any of such characters easily.

just bring traps with you and lame weaver from the distance killing adds in the meanwhile

So, it's your belief that every build should be able to do everything in the game without adapting to the situation?

I too had difficulty with the encounter with my kiting builds. It's designed to thwart that kind of play. You have to have options on your character that will allow for different strategies to be needed or you end up with a very bland game. This is a well designed encounter and there's plenty of tools in a kiter's arsenal to deal with it. A devouring totem really helps with the adds.

Don´t agree with you at all.

Weaver is one of the bosses that are a hard counter to tank builds as those can´t kill the adds fast enough just like reflect is a hard counter for glass cannons and we need that diversity. The endless spawning mechanic also makes the fight very unique.

No, but adapting to her means i either have to go many levels above her, or level enough(or buy high lvl) poison arrow to spend a LONG time to kill her.

I don't need to kite, i actually need to be able to hit the boss...

Yeah, but still there is not ONE quest boss with reflect, plus you can use Granite/Elemental flasks and counter as well...

You are right, there are counters and the counter for the weavr is sufficient dps.

Not every hard counter has to be a boss.

i couldnt kill the weaver in merci with my tank lvl 65 because of fps lagg. the more spiders i killed less fps i had. it reached a point when i had 3fps. the map was covered with spiders exploded corpses and the weaver was still 90%hp.. not cool. had to party to kill her.

i use infernal blow+melee splash. have around 650dps.

Sufficient dps isn't a counter, it's farming a lot (or spending currency) to kill a minor boss

Yeah, but you can skip random rares, you can't skip The Weaver.

Just irrelevant...

Give the devouring totem a try. Every corpse of a larger spider spawns three small spiders after a time. If you remove the corpse somehow, you've removed part of the problem.
