Neither character has any weakness that makes them need their minions, and Wurt has no synergy with farming or base building despite having a vegetarian only diet and the ability to build a couple of merm houses. Webber works because he was the first to have the minion swarm gimmick, and I think that was fine, but Wurt lacks any cohesion, and interrupts Webbers gimmick without doing much on her own. She has pigs 2.0, and the Merm King which is just a stat stick. Just that little bit of distinction between the spider types would be great. It could be really neat if enemies kept aggro on shielded cave spiders. Cave spiders would be really neat for their shield but.when they shield the enemy will just go for the next spider that attacks them and ignore the shielded cave spider. I think the only thing I dislike out of Webbers rework is there isnt enough of a distinction between the spider types in practice. Whilst Webber you only really need to wait 20 days or so iirc to get a spider queen from a T3 den(You could also die and haunt a T3 den to forcefully spawn a queen) and once you've got the snickerdoodle bp you only really need honey now since mm and silk are gonna be in major excess all the time as Webber. Fishing(and regular fishing is absolutely abhorrent and tedious compared to ocean fishing) I would argue Wurt is much more time and resource intensive, Ya gotta spend a lot of time.Ģ. Webbers spiders can reach the same survivability with nurse spiders, but that requires time and resources (both of which are in short supply in dst). So this thread is basically discussing what you think on the situation, because I honestly don't know that much about Wurt and wanna hear other people have to say about it. What i cant decide on if this is a Wurt problem or a Webber problem. Also the more i play post-rework Webber, the more i realize that the control he has over his minions doesn't really matter that much. Webbers spiders can reach the same survivability with nurse spiders, but that requires time and resources (both of which are in short supply in dst).Īlso, Wurt's perks go beyond just her minions, which I cant really say for Webber. the fact that merms kite enemy's increases their survivability by a lot. But the thing is, her minions can be pretty good in combat as well, even without the merm king. Webber trades out of combat utility for more control of his minions and in combat utility, compared to Wurt who has less control of her minions but more utility out of combat. So i decided to make my second thread about the character i play the most: Webber! (and how weak he is compared to the other minion centric character)

Dont starve webber
