The Spider Queen's Grasp

This ceremonial dagger makes Corpse Spiders a serious main skill for the Witch Doctor: their damage rises enormously, and on impact the spiders create a web that heavily slows enemies. A single skill thus delivers both damage and crowd control at once.

The slow heavily hampers enemy groups so your following spiders and other spells land reliably, while the high damage bonus provides genuine killing pressure. The dagger is the heart of any Corpse Spider build. My tip: throw your spiders into the middle of dense packs so the webs overlap and the slowed enemies collapse in a cluster under the concentrated damage of your crawlers.

Roll range and fixed web

The Corpse Spiders damage bonus rolls between 600 and 800%. A copy at 674% sits in the lower half, while a Primal Ancient brings the full 800% - with a range this wide, the roll makes a noticeable difference. The web's slow, on the other hand, is fixed: every copy slows enemies by 80%. The power only affects Corpse Spiders; other skills benefit only indirectly because slowed enemies stay in their reach for longer.

Stats on the knife

Intelligence at 626 to 750 and Mana Regeneration of 12.00 to 14.00 per second are fixed, the latter supporting your Mana economy. The random stat is elemental weapon damage of 981 to 1199 minimum and 1175 to 1490 maximum; Poison or Physical damage are the ones in demand. Also look for Damage %, Attack Speed and a socket. If the knife has weak secondary stats, one re-enchant at the Mystic remains - especially worth it on a power roll near 800%.

Araneae and her brood

The Grasp is often combined with several pieces of Arachyr - Visage, Mantle, Carapace and Claws - with the Brood of Araneae belt and Depth Diggers. The flavor text speaks of the blessing of Araneae dripping from the blade; the same name appears on the Brood of Araneae belt that is so often worn alongside it.
