So now that they the final boss more buffed (even though it can get unbearable to some people)
i need some tactics to deal with him without the so much amount of and reset his been having.
How do you fight him while he throws a lot of spiders at you while giving you a stack of 10 vulnerability and 10K damage when it all adds up.
thanks

The way my party does it is have 1-2 people attack the boss from max range. The rest clear spiders. If things get too bad, 1 more person helps. That way, at least the boss is still dying as we’re fighting, and don’t get trapped in infinite spiders.
As for vulnerability, condition removal skills help tons, as well as any supportive skills. Well heals, regen, etc.
The tree gives off a pretty big signal for when he’s about to send the big AoE. First, he pounds the ground with his left fists, then does a big back shake (that’s your cue to dodge)
Staying at range is a good way to avoid a LOT of the spiders. He will send some after you regardless, but having one person tim the boss while the others handle adds works well. He eventually stops sending spiders (though the AoE never stops so keep an eye out)
You can move to the other tunnel. No spider there… I was there yesterday with a group that gave up after several waves of spiders. I wanted to check if there are any safe spots, but by the time I found one they all left party saying “It’s broken”…
Oh well, I decided to prove them wrong and finished the boss solo :P I’ve recorded the fight, and I’ll upload it later today or tomorrow…
He only throws spiders if all 5 of you get hit from the spider bombs. Just learn the animation – left fist pound to back shake – and dodge just as the bombs start falling. It’s just basically the old sit-in-front tactic though you actually have to dodge rather than going afk.

Are you 100% certain you won’t get extra spiders if you succeed in dodging the bombs? I’ve seen many times where my whole party was downed by the bombs(thus no-one dodged) and no spiders spawned. If what you say is true, shouldn’t there have been spiders on top of us killing us instead of people successfully resing without spider aggro?
I thought the spider spawns were going to happen regardless of whether you dodge the bombs or not?
I also noticed my last group wiped every time we were attacked by spiders, we returned and killed them and eventually, without changing our strategy (sometimes PuGs are stubborn) we were able to auttoattack the boss to death without pulling any spiders.
Now here’s my question. Did our final attempt at the boss have no spider spawns because we cleared all the ones people could accidentally pull that were in the room to start with, or were there no spiders because the boss will always spawn them and you will always have to deal with them, but there a limited number of spawns he causes and by the fourth wipe we had cleared all of them?
This is an encounter where a Guardian should really bring Wall of Reflection, I always do for this fight. A well placed wall will kill all but the silver spiders while greatly reducing the damage your group takes when these buggers crawl around and try and ruin your day.
