Been killed thrice in a row today by undodgable webs by this critter. Anyone can suggest a way I can avoid the webs or get out of them while webbed?

I normally avoided them when they scurried in the room. Or just Focused Imploded them. If for some silly reason that didn't kill them I moved on. If I got webbed it was normally a death sentence for my sorcerer.

If you were one of those mutant build sunfisters who happened to have mastered that society, then you can sigil of escape confirm.

There might be an alchemy agent that disolves webs but I am not sure if you can use it if you are webbed yourself.

Stay light, make sure you are fully trained for the armor you are wearing. Spell tank, wear mobiles and blurs to help with dodging.

Like Zhelas said, keep up mobiles/blurs. I've been hunting around Spider Temple on my sorc and while I do generally avoid the arachnids, FI usually gets rid of them despite the level difference (they're 30, i'm 24).

Usually I only have problems if I get webbed in offensive, otherwise being on the ground and webbed in defensive sucks too.

I believe the only time I fought these was during EG trick ro treating, they might not be the same beast.

But, in anycase, all spiders can web, and all are really really hard to dodge. It used to stack too, so if one webbed you you'd be permawebbed until you died or someone can to rescue you.

In anycase, at EG the solution was to kill them quickly, or bind them.

I believe at some point I sent in a suggestion to make some drakar studded armor that automatically incinerated any webs the wearer came in contact with, would be cool auction armor.

Casting the spell of untrammel on yourself will give you a bit of extra help against webs.

Interesting...thanks guys. I've taken the advice to heart and just generally avoid all of them now. :( Too dangerous to mess with!

or hunt with a cleric and have them instantly untrammel. but whats nice is - webbed you can use the amunet, so i always had a thought ready that said "HALP!! FOG TO ME IMMEDIATELY IM WEBBED IL GIVE YOU 50k!!" sometimes that works altho its kind of newb

GS needs to come up with it's own version of "Free Action" from DnD to help negate or give a bonus to web and bind type spells. Maybe make it in the arcane spell list so everyone can have access to it.

If you have the prerequisite Blessing ranks. More so since I assume he's a Sorcerer and the ranks will not count for as much.
