With 4 Wolf Spiders, the Pack Instinct Bonus is +75% Damage, instead of the +100% Damage of a 5 pack, hence why i put AP on the Tank spider to try to compensate for that.

I tried experimenting with a 2 slot Wolf Spider with Slashing, but they don't seem to use Onslaught at all (wanted the Physical Resist debuff, to try to mimic Grasping Claw), so that was a bust. With 80 Physical/80 Fire/70+ Energy Resist, it takes far less damage when hit, which is lowered even further when split to the other 3 Wolf Spiders (they end up taking less damage as well due to the main tank's resists). The 2 slot Wolf Spider is pulled out of the stables first, so it ends up being the primary tank when saying 'All Kill'. One Wolf Spider is leveled to 2 slots for more Resists and Armor Pierce, and the three others are 1 slot. I'm experimenting with how a 4 pack of Wolf Spiders performs on TC. In situations where the highest damager gets the reward (such as the Invasion Spellbooks), i was practically guaranteed the drop due to the damage output of those spiders against the Generals. One FWW wasn't enough to kill the Wolf Spider pack, but multiple in short order would.

The Wolf Spiders were doing more than twice that (500-600), and that's not counting the 30-40 damage Lethal Poison ticks against the Generals, or how casters were kept on the defense spamming Cure due to the Lethal Poison spam.
