Guild Wars 2

This thing has like a million health, may be an exaggeration but it feels like it. It took a group of 10+ people to kill an enemy who doesn’t even have a title (Vet, Champ, Elite) half an hour , and the best part is the only loot I got was a festival token. For anyone wondering, this monstrosity is in Maelstrom. Either nerf his hp significantly or make him drop better loot, please Anet

Yea i fought him once too witha group. Took us forever and i had a zerker ele build too. I was usin all my tricks in the books and it still took us FOREVER. This spider either needs to be made a champ ot be nerfed.

its actually bugged at the moment with the amount of HP it has

are u sure cause i managed to solo her and she did not have that much hps maybe it is the scaling giving her too much hps.

im pretty sure, me and one other person tried and it ended up taking 30 minutes to kill the thing. it never took that long to kill her

Yeah a group of us took about that long a few weeks back. I was expecting some
Epic loot from it as for some resin it’s picture didn’t load we just all saw a health bar that went down as slow as a world boss. It took so long I was waiting for it to tell use “what is dead may never die!”

Yeah she has a ton of health now, I don’t know if it’s intentional

Must be new or scaling. I’ve killed it with one other person. It took a couple of minutes but not a real long time.

This has been discussed a little while back, too: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Huge-ruins-spider-overscaling/first#post4110000

What is it with spiders and over-scaling in this game? There was another spider that over-scaled in a cave near a skill challenge in Timberline Falls.

This has nothing to do at all with scaling, it should just be a simple veteran for that event but it is bugged and has, well, 30 minutes of health and defense plus huge spike damage. It has been this way for quite a while. It doesn’t matter how many of you attack it, it has 30 minutes of health lol

It would appear that someone added a * instead of a + to this event for its stats.
