Spear Spider PoTD wow LOL

So I ran into a group of these at level 3. I killed them but man they hit my tanks VERY hard.  And these are min maxed tanks with 90 Deflection at level 3.  I still have starter armor so my chainmail has no Pierce DT could that of that been part of the problem lol holy crap I was sweating for a minute.

How do you get 90 deflection at level 3?

[Torm51]

I can't hit a damn thing and I use a tower shield (larger door) plus Faith and Conviction as a Paladin. At a 100 at level 4.

Appropriate stats as well max per and res

Do you have dumped Con? I found, after completing Act 1 on PoTD with a dumped Con paladin tank, there were some issues with that. None that I couldn't overcome, but poison from Wood Beetles and such meant my party had to rest a lot. There will be some hard-hitters, Forest Lurkers I remember being far worse than Spear Spiders, but for me the hardest were fights with Shades and Shadows teleporting around. Those just require the right strategy though. It's funny how things can seem really hard, and then you approach them differently and they seem easy. I guess that's the beauty of a tactical game like this. With hard hitters especially, CC is your friend :D.

Nah my con is a 12...but once I got plate armor with pierce DT they were no longer an issue.
