===Hunters===
If you're pushing content, you might want to use your best single-target weapon to destroy the nest before the spawns get out of hand. Alternately, it can be more efficient to use a spread weapon to deal with the spawns and the nest at the same time.
===Rangers===
Spread weapons will give you the space to eliminate spawns while also dealing with the nest, just be sure to avoid the surround.
