Talk:The Spinner of Shadows

It seems that there are certain phases to the quest. All depend on the spinner's health. Talking from my elite experiences (don't know much about hard/normal):
 * Initial phase: Spinner is at full health and blue spiders spawn along with some Jariliths. (3 on lava and 4 on maze - could be wrong)
 * 1st phase: When Spinner is brought down to ~50% health, she spawns 2 spiders where she is and more spiders spawn at the sides
 * 2nd phase: When Spinner is brought down to ~10% health, she calls demons and retreats for some time. No extra spiders.
 * 3rd phase: Spinner down to 50% again spawns 2 at her and more at sides.
 * 4th phase: spinner down to 10% she retreats and calls demons and red spiders to kill the silver flame.
 * final phase: Spiders spawn periodically at the sides, spinner returns and ~4/5 hezrou spawn.

Notes: The spiders and demons seem to have a limit in the final phase. If you don't kill spiders then they will stop spawning, and likewise if you don't kill demons they will stop spawning. Do not have solid evidence for this. I was the tank and kited 4 Hezrou and the spinner around. The party seemed to have no problems hunting spiders which led me to believe that they didn't have to fight Hezrou (but maybe it was a good party). Another time we were wiped and reentered. The spinner and Hezrou were all in the center where they killed us. We sneaked to the sides and started killing spiders with no Hezrou spawning (but maybe it was because we reentered?)

The tactic I find most successful is to move to the next phase only after you've finished with the current one. Meaning you should kill all the blue spiders before calling the red ones. Also, at the final phase assign all aggro to the spinner tank and let him run around with everything (throwing some occasional heals) leaving the way for the blue spiders open. By running around he also gets less chaos hammers which slow the tank down. The Hezrou preffer to throw rocks at the person running.

I would like some feedback on this. :) - Faltout September 11th 2013
