Hey guys! I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere in this thread, but I can't seem to find an answer. I'm having a real hard time keeping my spiders up continuously and I am not sure why. I get my initial 20, then as I am mapping I'm casting desecrate to make sure I have corpses and I see the spider icon 'refresh', but then randomly all of them will still just seem to go away, and I am stuck in the middle of a pack of mobs with nothing but sentinels. Any advice? I appreciate it!

Hello!

The Spiders have a time limit of 30 seconds if not refreshed.

When mapping, there should be a ton of corpses to revive so you won't need to cast desecrate very often (usually at beginning of map and end of map before boss, or if you get stuck off on the side of a map and have to traverse a long way with out encountering monsters).

Remember that to summon the spiders, it is YOU that has to deal a killing blow to summon. You need to be right in the thick of the fight with your spiders so that your culling strike will take effect. Some times you can get unlucky and not deal a killing blow but most times in packs you will get one or two which is all you need to refresh the spiders.

If you happen to find yourself in a mapping situation where your spiders all die at once, you have to remove yourself from the fight, go off to the side and resummon them using desecrate and the writhing jar. Make sure your sentinels are not active because many times they will kill the worms before you can.

Hello, right now i have a little issue, my sentinels die a lot in the fights againt Elder/shaper guardians in maven invitations, they die very fast and my main damage is from the spiders, is there something i may be missing ??

Here is my POB: https://pastebin.com/78eadakt

Thanks for the time.

hello there!

It took me a little while to figure out what is wrong but I think I see it.

Your HOP gem setup is causing the health of your Sentinels to be 50% of what they should be in end game. My POB has a sentinel health of 29k but yours are only 15k.

This is due to 2 reasons:

1) You are not using the Empower Gem. When you add in an Empower level 4, your sentinel health will jump to 24k

2) You do not yet have the corrupted armor which raises the level of HOP by 2. When you get that, you will pick up another 5k getting you to ~29k health for the sentinels, which should give you much better up time.

So in short, you are not doing anything wrong, you just need to grind out these items (which can be expensive sadly).

Please let me know if I was clear and good luck to you!
