-How raise spiders work?
Raise spiders is a skill granted by the arakaalis fang dagger
it summons two spiders on kill for every corpse near your character
it has a cooldown of two seconds and base duration of 30s
the spiders are immune to damage, but can still be affected by buffs and debuffs.
already summoned spiders are NOT modified by changing gems or gear on your character

-How to summon the spiders fast?
1. Stand on Desecrate (the corpses need to be very close to your character)
2. Hold Divine ire (this skill constantly hits around your character)
3. Use Worm Flask (the minion created by the flask dies in ANY single HIT)

-Why you dont use Gravebind gloves?
when monsters die from the poison damage the kill counts for you, that triggers the dagger to summon spiders again, so you dont need to use the gloves to auto summon during mapping.

-Why use two Arakaali's Fang Daggers?
When you summon the spiders they get snapshotted to whatever state the raise spiders skill was when it triggered.
you lose the raise spiders if you dont have the dagger equipped.
so by having the dagger on both main-hand and off-hand you can weapom swap without losing the spiders and they keep the effects they had when they were first summoned.
you can summon half the spiders with main-hand and the other half with off-hand, each spider will respect the gems they had when they were summoned, so you can have many different spiders with many different supports at same time.

-Do i need to use the squire while bossing?
you can summon the spiders while using the squire and then weapom swap to the aegis aurora to keep both effects, the gems from squire affecting the spiders and the recovery on block from aegis affecting you.

-Why you remove the dagger sometimes?
to delete the spiders and summon again, tecnically to refresh their duration.
i do it during transition phases on bosses because it may be hard to summon while the boss is active.

-Why you have way more energy shield than me?
% Chance to Block Spell Damage is also % Energy Shield thanks to ascendancy node "Vile Bastion"

if you are using the Keystone "Supreme Ostentation" from the timeless jewel make sure to tatoo every int node in your tree with "Tattoo of the Hinekora Warrior" and use the "Runegraft of the Fortress" on a minion mastery node.

Everything about Arakaali's Fang Raise Spiders...(so far)

Raise Spiders is a skill granted by the unique dagger Arakaali's Fang which has the mod "100% chance to trigger level 1 raise spiders on kill"
the raise spiders skill raises two spectral spiders for each nearby corpse.
has a 2 seconds cooldown (that can be modified with things like cooldown recovery speed)
it does not cost any mana (that cannot be modified as far as i know)
has a base duration of 30 seconds (that can be modified by things like increased skill effect duration or minion duration for exemple)
you can have a maximum of 20 raised spiders (that can be doubled with the unique helmet The Dark Monarch for a total of 40)
Each raised spider grants you 2% increased Attack Speed and 15% increased Damage with Poison
the spiders are immune to damage (which means you can use things like infernal legion support or the ancient skull helmet or Qotra's Regulator with necromantic aegis and ignore their downsides)
and they use a special version of Viper Strike, that has no physical to chaos conversion but has 100% chance to poison.

even tho the spiders are immune to damage, they can still be affected by buffs and debuffs usually you will notice ground effects like chill, shock, burning ground tar ground that slows the doedre pools this kind of things, so they can be slowed that is what you have to keep in mind.

the Minion Behaviour is Agressive by default wich means they go after enemies instead of following you if they have vision of a enemy (you can change that with meat shield suport to make them defensive if you want to do that...for whatever reason)
if they are too far from your character they instantly teleport back to you (and you can convocate them)

the spiders do have line of sight based on where your last command was and you can use that to manipulate their "vision"
for example if you want your spiders to see enemies around corners, you have to aim any skill at a place where they would have line of sight from... so if i want to make my spiders attack a certain monster, i would have to move or use any skill at a place where from that place they would have line of sight to that monster

the spiders do snapshot so they take into consideration the stats you had when you summoned them and even if you change your gear it will remain the same

so to demonstrate this here i have a mod that says minions hits can only kill ignited enemies, and im gonna disable their chaos damage with a brutality support gem so they dont poison enemies.
as you can see now even if i remove the item or even the gem they still cannot kill those enemies
the most commom way people use snapshot on arakaalis builds is they equip a squire on the off-hand so now all the gems from the squire apply to the raise spiders and after summoning the spiders they change to a different shield and the spiders are still affected by the support gems on the shield
