Tank Strategy

• Standard strat here, MT pulls TWM to designated spot and holds aggro there.

DPS Strategy

• Stay in the corner target via MA and save AEs for when the adds come at 40% health.

Recovery Team Strategy

• No recovery team needed for this strat.

The Set Up

The fight begins with MTpull. Light DPS while MT gets the target planted. Once the target is in place DPS target through the MA. MA will pick up the sac's as a target and DPS will burn it down fast with normal DPS and fast cast low mana AEs then back to the named mob. Save AE mana intensive spells until the next phase. Rinse and repeat until the mob hits 40% then come the adds. This is when the heavy dmg long cast AEs come in to play when the adds pop up start your AEs, but no target on the adds, MA will stay on the main and the SACs. Burn baby burn until TWM is spider paste then clean up the adds. Viola dead spider.
