I'd say give spiders another shot, but try a PLD tank. I've been there a couple of times fighting spiders, everytime but once with a PLD tank. I found that the PLD could keep hate much better than NIN against spiders. Sure, a NIN can Utsusemi the sickle slash away. Thats *IF* the spider is looking at the ninja when the slash goes off.
I'd much rather have the PLD taking 400 dmg off the slash than one of my mages taking 800+ dmg off the slash because the NIN can't keep hate.
This may have just been a bad ninja, but from what I saw he was trying his damn best to keep hate, he just couldn't.
Try Boyhada Tree again, with a good PLD who you know can keep hate. I will promise you that you will do better.
