did them yesterday.. 40 peeps - 4 wizzies with ae (use jyll's for max targets, and try to keep them grouped) and there were down in about 20-30 secs. be sure to warn everyone and have your ae's memmed before you kill Aramin, it shouldnt be a problem then. )
We killed her 2 nights ago and yes, about 8 or so smaller spiders spawned and wiped us quickly. As they cannot be mezzed, it seems that the only way to defeat them is a good AE team with plenty of mana (AE stuns (not sure if the stun would be resisted) and nukes) or have a significantly sized zerg force that is well organized.
Those of you that have attempted Grumus, how did you manage to get past this spiders? My guess is force in numbers. =)
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
We did this spider with three groups. We used some kind of Pally/Chanter harmony on the guards behind her which worked well. She dropped a very nice ring, Signet of Withering Flesh.
My question is what her respawn time might be. Anyone know?
Well judging by the finished stone walls and another's comment on passing Aramin to reach Grummus, Aramin would have to spawn inside the castle. Since I haven't had a chance to kill her I don't have an exact loc but as soon as I do I'll post it if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Am 65th Shaman, and she conned red to me so either its a miscon or her levels need to be looked at again. Also she is slowable, and we had 8 spiders pop rt after she died, all were Arachnae malevelers or seriouns.
Hits kinda hard, 2 cleric rotation is enough for a good warrior. AEs a decently mean DOT. 3 minute fight with 12 people so guessing about 300khp, didnt parse. Buncha mean spiders spawn afterward that were hitting in 400s. Would suggest camping a cleric as Aramin dies if you are not a zerg force, they despawn faster than corpse rots. *shrug.*
150k hitpoints is much more accurate. We parsed just over 100k of melee damage and estimate the rest in spell damage. I can confirm that the baby spiders are rootable and unmezable, and yes, can kill everyone quickly =)
