I tried it with my Monk and Discordway. Piece of cake until I ran into these 3 groups of spiders East - North East of Arachni's Haunt. Impossible to get through with those multiple Lifeweavers. Any suggestions?

Magus Stones is one of my favorite places to vanquish and I haven't had any issues with any of the groups. I play an interrupt ranger though, and I'm busy dazing and spreading choking gas and interrupting so the life weavers don't get much of a chance.

As mentioned, any type of interrupts, especially AoE interrupts [Cry of Frustration] [Tease] [Choking Gas] etc... are all handy. Try to include a few on your bar or heroes' bars, and I can guarantee the run will go smoother.

I farmed Magus stones alot for points.
quickest way is to "borrow heros"
2 monks. 2 MM's the rest as nukers.= win.

I had no interrupts or daze when I did it so it can be done just get a little more creative. I also did it discordway. I would target one lifeweaver and while the H/H were attacking that one I would tab to another lifeweaver and start spamming away, the basic idea is to make them have to heal 2 at the same time instead of just one. Worked pretty well, the heroes killed the first one then I had them target the one I was fighting, once again I tabbed to the last one and repeated the process. It's not the prettiest or most efficient but it did work.

I also had [you move like a dwarf] on my bar, helps alot with monks. Not sure if you can pull them one by one out of there but I assume you have already tried that, if not then give it a shot.

Aren't they pop up groups that can be avoided completely while vanquishing? If not then nevermind, it's been awhile since I have been through there.

Maybe your build does not have enough focus fire or damage output. They use [[Divert Hexes] so that's probably why your [[Discord (PvE)] spam isn't working.

thanks for your suggestions. I dropped one necro for Gwen as interrupter and got it done. I also took Ebon Sniper Support which, with Assassin's Promise recharging all skills instantly after each kill, can be pretty powerful.

I vanquished Magus Stones this afternoon with my Paragon, Sabway Necros, Mhenlo, Lina, Herta, and Talon Silverwing. The Windriders were a minor annoyance, but for the rest I just berserked along. Cast Great Dwarf Armor on whoever seemed to need it (which wasn't often), and used Technobabble on healers.

You are right tval, just overload 'em.

Biggest problem I had with the vanquish was finding this last group of drop in spiders who turned out to be in a little dead end niche.
