CC on the spiders. Greatly reduces the chance of someone accidentally killing them (which I rate at about 25% in a PUG), especially in the end fight.
(Oh, FFS YaBB. I've tried to post this five times now.)
I still don't understand. Do you want the chest that badly? Is hypno or a fog of some type or any other cc spell not effective (web not included)? Just asking, because they hypno pretty easy. FTS is stupid, it is like holding a mob. You know what a melees reaction to a 100% crit mob? I think it goes like this, "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HOW HIGH CAN I CRIT FOR?!?!?!?!!?!? OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!"
Anyways, just kill all four of them. Chances are a spider died before the first book, it is a pug after all. One wail will leave only the boss. Also, a DBF backed by a CoC will kill everything and beat shjit out of the boss. If you are worried about the chest, just solo it. Faster and more reliable.
EDIT: I just noticed that you implied all the spiders. You know what you could of done for the same cost of FTS? FoD. BAM! Ogre dead, spiders freed. Wail works to, very effective and sp efficient before the first book.
