Soloed her this morning lvl 80 clr took 40 mins VoVictory ftw resisted blood of the devoted in the beginning but as she dropped in health it landed there were no adds which was awesome and resisted all her poisons.....was fun but long lol
75 cleric here also... came across Broodmother while helping a friend so thought I'd give her a shot. Friend 41 ranger died almost straight away to AoE. I had nothing but self buffs and some clickies. Put on Poison resist etc.
Would have gone better with a C7, but had nothing but a pot. Got her to 78% before I died because I was being too cautious with mana. Mana was at about 75%. I tried to load Yaulp just before I died too which didnt help lol.
Had no problems landing Marks on her. (did the top 2 that stacked) Ward and VoV never resisted that I saw...but am sure there would have been a few.
All in all, if i went there to kill her I think I could have taken her. But I was not prepared.
12K HP 2.2K AC 10K Mana
Some Def AAs.

7-25-2006 - This mob is now behaving quite a bit differently than written up here.
We read up on her and figured with a full group of mostly 65-70 with an average of around 300 aas and gear ranging from pre-PoP to Time to the Dodh hard stuff and arcstone and what not. No one had gear on the level of Tacvi/Anguish/etc.
70 War, 70 Cleric, 70 Ranger, 65 Shaman, 54 Shaman (because we were farming tasks when we got this bright idea lol), and 58 Berserker. We really were not expecting this to be the fight it turned out to be....
>>>Spider Broodmother
>>>Gender: male :p >>>HP: 500 000
This would seem to be about right.
>> Damage output: 1100 double max; every 20 sec poison based area >>stun (low poison)
Her stun and poison landed on us several times times *through* infusion of the faithful, which we popped thinking it would be a good idea to just use it as the night was almost over and we were pretty much done.
>> Side effects: 1. perma rooted
This is also true, but unless you do not have agro or have evac don't depend on running away to get her to drop agro because she just summons you to your death at her feet.
>> 2. spawns broodlings; these spawn only when someone dies. So if there are broodlings, someone failed an attempt.
Incorrect. We engaged her when there were no broodlings. I went up and looked myself (she's indifferent till you upset her). She started spawning broodlings at 70% health and no one was dead. She left it at 2 broodlings until after someone in the group died, then spawned another. I am wondering if deaths *outside* those engaged on her but inside the zone count -- like with Carprin Cycle mob?
>> Useful info: 1. slowable
Correct - 65 shammy landed slow after some debuffing. We didn't have tash so maybe it was luck, but it *did* land.
>> 2. if there are broodlings, kill these first, one by one; they can be pacified and single pulled. Broodmother will not agro until you hit it.
Cannot confirm on the pulling, there were no broodlings when we engaged her. It is correct that she is non-agro until after you attack her.
>> 3. very very slow regen on this mob (we had a fail, and when I died, the rest succored out, so when we returned there was one broodling, and Broodmother was on 40 % still) USEFUL!
Unconfirmed.
----
>>> This freakin thing has some crazy resist
Strangely our 65 shammy landed a slow rather early but I'm sure he debuffed her a bit first for what that's worth. We didn't have any nukers in the group to determine much else resistance wise.
>>> she hit him anywhere from 200 to 1k damage, single target ramp
The damage is right, I didn't see her hit our tank for more than 800 and that wasn't that often, until she hit 70% it felt like watching someone tank an unslowed Puma in a Creator mission - you had to pay attention but it wasn't that big of a deal...then she hit 70% and it got all weird....
She popped a broodling even though no one in our group was dead. She then aoe'd us twice in *rapid* succession. Then she did this butt-bouncing dance kinda like Volkara....
Then she rampaged *the group* -- she tagged everyone at least once (hit me for exactly 1100 through half completed avoidance and 1400ac) and *pasted* the 50ish shammy girl then ignored the tank to take after the ranger who seemed to get heal agro. Both she and the broodlings seemed to have as special hate for healers.
Of course this was panic time and I went to burn a 10k group heal -- only to find I had a lot less mana than I expected to have....
I've read *nothing* of this mob having a mana tap, so either you don't *regen* mana round her, or she *does* have a mana drain now which is new. The ranger and 65 shammy also complained of mana being lower than they expected for the spells cast so far.... *** and the 54 shammy was lom even though she was *only* rooting broodlings which is not mana intensive at all.
It just went down hill from there.
Her broodlings seemed to think I needed to die (cleric agro I'm sure), and with me being interrupted by broodlings or summoned by the mother I was unable to heal our tank who had agro the rest of the time.
I should point out that aoe taunt didn't seem to convince the broodlings to poke the tank and leave me be....
The 65 shammy tossed a heal on me, which seems to generate a LOT of hate with this mob who summoned him, entirely ignoring the dps of the ranger, warrior and berserker...and made shammy paste again. Pop another broodling.
From there I think the death order was Warrior, Ranger, Berserker and me -- I had *started* running when I saw the Warrior go down (figuring I could get out of her agro range and rez them....but she pasted them *and* summoned me in a feat of target switching that made me almost amused to watch in the HoTT window.
So all I have to say is -- someone attack this girl and tell me if we were just having an off night or what because I just was *not* expecting it to be this kind of a fight.
bst has 500 aa's max def 2.0 etc...she hit him anywhere from 200 to 1k damage, single target ramp, ae stuns (radius of it spanned to half-way the ramp leading to her). wizzy landed low-resist nukes w/o a problem, bst wasnt able to slow with 70 spell. ended up evac'ing...doable with a healer type just going to be a long fight.
BL 70 slow will land, barely...tash would help ALOT on this mob to get it to stick Duoed her tonight, she has a TON of hitpoints, druid attack debuffs helped a great deal, low hit was 340, high 1100. Burned staunch recovery on druid, and used servant on beast..dropped cape hehe
This freakin thing has some crazy resist, went there with a druid friend thinkin I could duo it with her seein as I am pretty well of gear wise, used a half a mana bar tryin to land slow, died got a mage friend to coem mala the thing and it still didnt work guess I need a tash stick
Kingbeard, Do you play beta? If so, you may be experiencing a graphic "carryover" from your beta files. I play beta and I have had the same problems. In fact, when I'm playing on my regular account, the new Toxxulia is layered over the old. It's impossible for me to navigate thru that zone.
Needless to say, I'm anxious for the DoD release so I can resume my normal play.
When my group tried to kill the brood mother, it wasnt a spider, its was a normal human shape, just that he was huge, and he was waist deep in that little mountain he stands on.
If your graphic file is corrupted (either because your local copy is damaged, or Sony's messed up something in the copy they've pushed down with a recent patch) the mobs that can't be displayed default to a standard Human Male form.
I've seen cases where Sony messed up and all the mobs of a given type were humans for a couple weeks, but more often you just need to repatch and run a full file scan from the patcher to fix the problem.
Gender: male :p HP: 500 000 Damage output: 1100 double max; every 20 sec poison based area stun (low poison) Side effects: 1. perma rooted 2. spawns broodlings; these spawn only when someone dies. So if there are broodlings, someone failed an attempt. Useful info: 1. slowable 2. if there are broodlings, kill these first, one by one; they can be pacified and single pulled. Broodmother will not agro until you hit it. 3. very very slow regen on this mob (we had a fail, and when I died, the rest succored out, so when we returned there was one broodling, and Broodmother was on 40 % still) USEFUL!
Actually max hit is 1100. She spanked my 67 Beast. One thing I learned the hard way is she is teathered in place and must get the boodlings killed first...hehe

About 500k hp's is right... Shm War Nec trio'd her for the hell of it while doing progressive tasks and saw her up...took us 17 mins... Nec + War Qvic+, Shm EP
Edit: Dropped the Magma War Belt, decent melee belt..
Has 100K + hps at least. I shot it at full health and hit for 1142 and it dropped 1% in health. Summons as well. Seems to drop a broodling, small spider , blue to 68 with every player death.
Lol this mob is a joke Killed it with a Beastlord and a Druid took about 20 minutes due to the fact of the hp on it only the ae never stuck on either of us and it barely even stuck on my pet
killed this 2 days ago, hits less than 1k, slowable, hi mr resist, duoed it, took 40 min to kill with warrior 13,5k buffed and shaman only, only warrior did damage, easy resist AE and has another effect too i cant remember, some DD+stun, permarooted btw.
Spakko <Guardian Prophets> Kane Bayle
P.S. Ubriacone Folle got the loot, a shield, sending mail to get it on loot list... and gratz him ) (he is my cousin :P)
I'd say doing her with single group is on par with single grouping AoW, not the intensity wise but just the length, this momma has some HP. It took me, 70 warrrior. 70 chanter, 70 ranger, and uh oh 70 Druid bout 7-8 min to kill

level 65, only a few mobs in the area nearby, most of those mid 50's, doubt they will need to be cleared. In the large room on the SE corner of your map. Scared me good...and I hate spiders, so I'll be back to slay her soon :)
Her den is in the southeast corner of Lavaspinner's Lair at (-1850, -1900). Cons indifferent. She is perma-rooted, so everyone gets behind her except the tank.
Spawn time: hours, days?
effects: Spray of Venom (400 AE DD + 2 sec stun, approx every 25 seconds) Arachnae Venom (single target aggro reducer + snare, often) both poison resist
level: 65 HP: lots, takes 12 min for a group of level 65-70 to kill hit: 300-900? rampage: rarely enrage: yes
loot: one item per kill Cinder Steel Trident Magma War Belt
