Tanking the witness' hand attacks

[grave jacinth]

Is well + Concussive Dampener and 2 Solar resists enough to live through both hand beams?

And 100resil obviously

[lapis stag]

yes, the only attack you will never be able to tank is the "anime eye" attack, the rest you can tank

obviously if you're inside 1 attack don't move to the next one, just sit still

[grave jacinth]

thank you so much

[grave jacinth]

what about concussive and just 1 solar resist, can it still tank?

[lapis stag]

not sure, don't see why you wouldn't run 2 solar+concussive in a damage loadout

[grave jacinth]

reserves mod

I know that 1 concussive and 1 solar is equivalent to 3 solar resists

[grave jacinth]

if it's possible to only use 2 mods instead of 3, then you'd be able to use a reserves mod as well

[lapis stag]

i'd say that unless you are actively trying to solo the encounter running reserves isn't useful

and you'd have to be using the same exact weapons to have the ammo reserves not be reset when changing loadout

speaking from experience here

[grave jacinth]

why would you ever change to a loadout that didn't have the same weapons though? you'd lose all your ammo

[lapis stag]

you don't lose all your ammo, you only lose ammo granted from reserves

and you could be running an attrition orbs weapon during mechanics and a shoot to loot weapon during dps

[grave jacinth]

sure but having a shoot to loot weapon is pushing into the realm of min maxing I reckon

[lapis stag]

some people like to minmax

[grave jacinth]

if I'm already using something like qb, having a reserves mod is just free extra 2 shots, which is lowkey a lot considering rewind and particle recon

and the rest of my loadout can be mechanics since I'm on going to be using qb for dps

[lapis stag]

i mean that's your choice, if it turns out you can tank the beams while still having 1 reserve mod on at all times then i don't see a reason not to

[grave jacinth]

👍

[lapis stag]

i've always gone 2 solar+concussive and haven't had issues

let me know how it goes

[grave jacinth]

I guess we'll just have to wait until someone who knows can chime in lol

[final quartz]

I think the only usable sentence in all that was "I dont think'

[late root]

try pressing w

then pressing s

[hazy scaffold]

U think we are some sweats or something brt? We stand in well and don’t move

[vagrant palm]

use 3 solar resists. you can’t tank it on master but you can on normal.

the slam attack cannot be tanked however

[vagrant palm]

also has to be in a well

i know because when i needed witness for red borders i would be that guy to just stand there with 3 solar resists on and only jump for the slam

[grave jacinth]

1 concussive dampener and 1 solar resist has more dr than 3 solar

And yes Alex, you're right all of slayers text was unhelpful because that's not what I was asking at all

Obviously I know I can just dodge the attacks but that's not what I'm asking

C'mon guys basic reading comprehension 💔

[vagrant palm]

it still tanks either way. so go with your heart

[grave jacinth]

Yeah I think I prefer the concuss and 1 resist personally since it leaves me a free slot :)

[grave jacinth]

and thats unfortunately wrong 💔
