Uh.. I don't know, your biggest problem is going to be the constant poison. Barrage would likely work, seeing as they're going to be using Healing Spring. Physical Resistance would help, but so would things like I Will Survive! Hmm.. you need a way to bring down their damage, while slowing their poison, yet hitting them hard enough to bring them down.
I've been thinking about this too for the past few days.. Melandru's Resiliance gets poison to -1 Degen, but then you dont have barrage to inturupt all the springs..

i'm betting even if you do come up with a solo Ranger build to farm the cave... it'll still be slower then the solo Warrior build

It's guaranteed.
I managed to get to the spiders, but it was much harder than it should have been. Problem is, that a Ranger can't afford to be hit while healing from poison. And while he's wittling away at the spiders, and he can't reliably interrupt heal spring from a distance And keep the other spiders from casting it. I'm not completely done with it, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be as fun as doing it with a warrior.

Now this is just an idea, and you might not get all of your drops but...
Barrage
EoE
Whirling
Dodge
Lightning
Dryders
Trolls
Storm
I would try that since 1) It has plenty of evasion to avoid there nasty arrows, 2) it gives you the ability to run past the guys at the beginning and 3) EoE will demolish everything once barrage kills the first 6-12 enemies.
Maybe a nice tactic would be to round up the spiders close to you, cast whirling, and let them kill themselves while your killing them too.

They use Called Shot every other arrow.

^^ Won't work also because they cast Heal Spring on Aggro, and everytime they take a certain amount of damage. EoE will just trigger heal spring.

Ok i like physical resistance...now to counter poison u could use troll ungeant...why barrage...i mean when i see solo warriors do it (they come on chest runs and i watch when i die) and they lure them over 1 by 1 with a longbow. Hmmm...im thinking of bouncing the poison back with poison shot and some type of preperation (thinking kindle arrows for added damage). bring a non zealuos/vampiric longbow for pulling. then when they r close, use a short bow with a vampiric (added damage with life stealing) cause of fast shooting to interupt....Do they use prepare poison or poison shot...cant remember...if prepare poison...bring interupts to stop poison. OR try using say...throw dirt with oath shot (recharge) and keep him blind. then take him out with preperations and other arrow types (power, duel, etc). Definatly keep physical resistance on for them. that covers sum of the major things of this build. Getting there....meh its up to you.
Silent Elvin Ranger
possible to lure 2 or 3 at a time and use barrage with vamp bow...get them together and use throw dirt (<---i love that move in PvP...it really gets warriors mad). then barrage that cr*p out of them.

Hope my input encourages a build for that...then i could hit forest then run down to the beach and do that too...man would that be awsome =p
leeky baby
posion arrow will not work gd, cause of medurils restistance
i think i have a build for a duo that could clear the cave in about 10/15 mins ill post when iv tried it with a freind, this will have to be done duo. it could be done solo but take whey to long.

Well unlike OP i dont care how long it takes seeing as though i can then do forest and then run to beach.
And i believe u meant Melandru's Reseliance [<---right spelling?]. Melandru's reselence is also used by the spiders in the forest. U still poison them but it will send them to -1 degen. hmmm. is there a non-elite skill for bow attack that causes bleeding? (thinking of stacking poison with bleeding). If this goes well Ranger can own FoW pretty good.

how does physical resistance going to help fire damage?
No barrage which means even slower killing.

Im sure ur build would work seeing as though ur using drakescale armor and elemental resistance giving great armor. but this build does not flow well with forest build. that means its either forest or beach...not both in the same run. (which would be awsome farming). O and the reson i put barrage was because it will interupt healing spring on mass amount. (seeing as though healing spring is interupted by 1 hit).
