I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but it seems that the spiders are one of the hardest enemies in the game. I would think that the Dragons would be A LOT more difficult to kill. The Dragons can breath fire and ice at me and I don't see much of a dent in my health, but a Spider shoot some weebies at me and I'm 1/3 down on my health. Then if they get a bite of me I'm poisoned and slowed and another 1/3 drained from my health. I don't understand.
Spiders get easier as your level increases, i don't notice any effects from them now, even the giant ones. However there are still a number of enemies that are harder to kill then Dragons...i don't understand that at all. The game shoud have less dragons and it should be an epic fight when you do come across then rather than being a damned nuisance.
Giant Spiders are the only problems that I have with spiders and they can be dealt with if you have some sort of wall between them so that you can hack and then take cover and repeat.
Spiders are weak =/. Early on they're only annoying because of their poison but later on the poison effect is so watered down it's ignorable. I don't think a spider could kill a dragon; giants, mammoths and bears on the other hand can kill dragons... Normal, Blood and Frost dragons at least.
It's just because the dragons scale to your level, other enemies have level ranges. Once things get fixed and I start playing again I'll be interested to see if an ancient dragon will really get owned by a giant.
The dragons later one in the game (Blood, Frost, ect) are harder than regular dragons.
Dragon and Blood Dragon are the early dragons, Frost is the mid leveled dragon. The dragons later on are Elder and Ancient and I don't think any general mob stands a chance against them one on one. I did once see an elder dragon get owned in solitude... then again just how many guards are there in solitude and worst of all it attack the legions training ground... yeah...
Snow bears and cave bears are the hardest for me. Yesterday I was hopping around in my robes, discovering a new dungeon ... I turned around a corner and there they were ... 3 freaking snow bears staring me in the face.
Wisp mother's are the most horrible things i've ever fought. queen spiders, ancient dragons, ice ___ (insert beast, cats, bears, trolls, etc.) are childs play compared to those frigid [censored]es.
