This also works with Hungering Claw in 3rd position, Curse of Doom, then Call Darkness, then Shadow Shock repeatedly until Rocko bites the dust.

Note that it's 2 double Wind Ups, so 4 total, not just 2.

wrote on 2021-09-18 14:45:12

Yep, that's why is says Turn 1+2 then Turn 3+4

Honestly, I've written it both ways: like this, and line by line, and there's always at least one person who says it confused them/they prefer it the other way. So I just write it out depending on the day and how I'm feeling, lol

I blame myself for being distracted midf-fight, but it got me, too. 2nd attempt while actually paying attention worked great.

I didn't notice that either. My thoughts...I understand how different people like things listed different ways but for me it is a matter of whether they HAVE to be separated. An ability like Haywire goes off for 2 rounds so there really isn't a need to have 2 separate turns for it really because you can't opt to NOT do the 2nd part. Now something like Windup or Launch Rocket should since they ARE separate and are often times (such as with Anthea in Kun Lai) setup with the first part at one point and then fired off at a different point rather than back to back.

Great Strat though once I saw the Windup issue LOL.

I'm not clear on how 2 Wind-Up hits are supposed to get the kill here, unless you're relying on crits. 1039*2<2356 - and that's *before* the healing ability. (edited)

The phrasing of the instructions makes it confusing. You're not supposed to USE Wind-Up twice, you're supposed to HIT with Wind-Up twice.

wrote on 2021-03-01 10:54:05

I'm not sure how Turn 1+2 then Turn 3+4 is confusing. It's exactly like having a line for each turn.

Epytropos

wrote on 2021-03-03 10:37:56

I did attempt it several times; he was coming in at 2356, whereas your log shows him much lower. I'll go have a look at it again next time I'm in the area and see if I can figure out where our outcomes diverge. It's possible I was missing something obvious.

Seppis wrote on 2021-03-07 18:19:46

Poison Protocol poisons the team, so spinderling should not be at full health when he enters.

Ackra

wrote on 2021-04-17 04:07:40

got confused too as I didnt read it was 4 in total first time, maybe wind-up until spindler is dead would be easier :)

I didnt have any of the suggest pets for pet 3. i used HS lesser voidcaller (1. 2, 1). use shadow shock and curse of doom as per strat, try use shield to block heal. otherwise i used it to block a random attack. probably RNG, i only tried it once and won (edited)

I didn't have my Anomalus so I used Hyjal Wisp 2-1-1.
Turn 1 Arcane Blast
Turn 2 Evanescence
Turn 3 Arcane Blast
Turn 4 Wish
Turn 5+ Arcane Blast until Boneclaw dies
Spindler comes in
Turn 1 Evanescence
Turn 2 Wish
Turn 3+ Arcane Blast until Hyjal Wisp dies
Bring in Enchanted Broom and continue with strat above.

Just wanted to say thanks for this alternative version as I didn't have Anomalus either. Worked fine second time

Nianna#1763

I used Oiley Slimeling (HH) for first pet and used acidic goo and corrosion a few times then followed the strat as is worked like a charm first try! Thanks =)

I didn't have Anomalus. I used Disgusting Oozeling H/B with Acidic Goo, then Corrosion twice. Worked right!

Quraha

wrote on 2021-01-16 11:18:28

This substitution didn't work at all for me - I couldn't kill the second pet with the broom from the lack of poison protocol damage.

Stephan wrote on 2021-01-10 08:01:35

Used Baa'l as third pet. Use darkflame to reduce healing, then Murder the innocent and scorced earth on cooldown

Not sure how it's getting wrecked by Bone Claw when the Broom is faster, and will generally kill Bone Claw in one round.

Used 1 2 2 Accursed Hexer instead of Anomalus: #3 #1 #2 #1 Hexer dies. Sandstorm to kill Boneclaw. 3x hitting with Wind-Up (6 uses) to kill Spindler. Sandstorm. Broom dies. #3 #1 #1 #2 #1 #1 #1. Win?

Asarkhadon wrote on 2020-12-15 03:21:36

Sandstorm is still active when curse of doom discharges and it can miss. Learned it hard way. It's better to use batter. (edited)

DTJames

wrote on 2020-12-15 22:36:17

Need to have Sandstorm up for Broom to survive, otherwise I was unable to get 3rd Wind-Up to go off without dying first.

Did not work at all for me. =/ Broom does not kill Spindler.

Liadrin

I tried it twice, and both times the Broom could not kill Spindler. It crit once with Wind-Up the first time, but the second wind-up was still not enough on its own to finish the job. Seems like you need a stronger pet or a second crit to do it.

wrote on 2020-12-23 19:17:52

Spindler comes into the fight with 1571 hp.

Wind-Up does 1039 damage with no crits.

With Leech Life, this is what Spinder's hp will look like:

Round 1 -- 1571
Round 2 -- 1571 + 143 = 1714
1714 - 1039 = 675
Round 3 -- 675
Round 4 -- 675 + 145 + 135 = 955
955 - 1039 = Dead

Here's my log:

Feel free to post yours in response.

Leech Life likely has a heal variance, but does not appear to have a terribly high variance. Seemingly only ~10 ish or so, which won't touch the 80 or so overkill from Wind-Up (edited)

wrote on 2020-12-23 22:43:33

I think the problem here could be that in the description the 4 turns of Wind-Up are compressed into 2 lines (what usually would be 4 lines).

So, if you’re not careful, you can miss the double turn numbers in the line prefix, and think it’s only one pair of Wind-Up (buff and then unleash), and then you are wondering why Spinder still has 680HP where the description says “Rocko comes in”.

Al least this happened to me. Until I looked again at the description and saw that I should actually do 4 Wind-Ups. (It was 4:30 in the morning, I should add ;)

Tianis wrote on 2020-12-24 03:32:42

Spindler has 2356 HP for me on coming in, 4x use of windup only deals 2072 total, so something is wrong here. How are you guys saying he has over 800 HP less?
Edit: My mistake...poison protocol hits all pets, im trying to find away around that and didnt realize you were accommodating for that (edited)

Dende

wrote on 2020-12-26 09:05:53

I don't get where your problems lies, for me this worked first time round.
You'll need to have your anomalus to do poison protocol. Spindler came into the game with already less health because of it, 4 times wind-up killed it for me and my broom even dmged the last pet until half its life before it died, my court scribe finished the fight easily.
