Weaver is imposible to kill with some builds!

I liked it.

I thought I had to group for it after I died only getting her down to 75%, but the group was more of a hinderance than solo was, I just basically ran around from top of top room to bottom of bottom room kiting her while using split arrow+chain and I had 6 frenzy charges the entire time.

Here is a cookie for that post:


As for weaver, I have to add that she did kill my first onslaught character so you better come well prepared for the fight.

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

How is it not a counter? You gotta explain that to me. The farming part is true if you need to farm gear to get the sufficient dps, but you can say that about everything in the game so I don´t consider that a good argument.

Personally I had 0 problem with the weaver playing LA the adds made things easier as there were more things the chain off of, it made it so you could easily stay at full life with life gain on hit.

I have had no problems with weaver with any of my builds, explosive arrow, freeze pulser, arc summoner, ice spearer, sporker, infinite flickerer(nerfed now), melee cleave and dual strike.

Heck even my defensive molten sheller with chance to ignite can easily kill weaver. All hardcore/ons char, all merciless and all with crap gear.

adds? use an aoe
dps? use it on weaver
profit.

Well you don't get what my problem is.
In my opinion, main quest bosses (that can't be skipped) need to be killable even with mediocre gear, provided you do something correctly (ex. dodge Vaal's laser), weaver just doesnt give you an option like that, you need to have good gear to be able to kill her.

It's 72 map. It's end game.

I've solo'd her in Merciless with 2 Dual Shockwave Totem builds (one Phys/Stun one Ele). And it wasn't by throwing totems from halfway across the screen since they don't draw enough aggro like that anyway and the room is too small to kite.

I'm assuming a single flame totem with knockback and LMP on it would also be a very effective solution given how well the knockback on Shockwave works for me.

Really the issue here is builds used to kiting Weaver no longer can because of the small room. And her damage makes facetanking difficult. It really comes down to using other defensive options then.

true story

the only time i teamed up in mercyless was for the weaver fight
watched the noticeboard "help me kill weaver"

so i teamed up with a sparker name iamafuckingcoward that genius already spawned her so he went in i followed and there she was in the mainroom i immedeatly began to convert her minions to my side (domblow build) the whole time the sparker was hidden behind 2 totems in the corner in the next room killing those small spiders which spawn as long as the weaver is alive

took some time till she was down 2x hp and the chaos really hurts wasnt a safe fight but i won
yes i won he did nothing called him out on that and he replied sry but iam squishy
man i wished i had lured the boss to him to get him killed he deserved it

weaver in cruel is much harder as in mercyless
1st you dont really aim for chaosresi
2nd your aoe power is really low
3rd you will have low hp

Evasion based melee characters are just screwed against the new Weaver. Her damage is way overboard imo.
