Strategies for surviving heroic R10 vengeance reapers

[Drachmor]

Heyoooo. Don't think that this is an indication that the game is completely broken - I am posting this not because I am "just about" to be capable of running R10s in heroics. Rather, because... I literally cannot fathom how it can happen until I can overcome this roadblock lol.

I am curious if ANYONE has ideas for surviving like a frickin... 900?? damage sonic blast, for instance (no save vs the damage). In like, Waterworks btw, so you won't have 900 hp unless you know something I don't lol.

I suppose just luck with the run + positioning is your best bet? Or maybe trying your absolute darndest to kill the thing before it kills you, even if it means venging everyone around you? To be fair, I haven't actually tested this much, because trying to run R10s in heroics is (rightfully) incredibly punishing

Anyway, just posting to hear some fun ideas

Maybe a Soundproof item?

I don't know if Soundproof negates Sonic Blast.. but... worth a try.

Yea pale lav was my first thought. Also, those ML1 spell absorb scarabs that don't recharge? Maybe the one instance they'd see some use.
Perhaps can bluff pull them then give them the ol' run-around, often casters have trouble targeting you if you're circling them.

But yea they're almost absurdly overtuned at low level r6+. Maybe it's a good thing though, if someone ever says the game is too easy, well, there are always options for challenge...

Yes. I enjoy that stepping into R10s at low levels just kills you. That is how it should be

Move out of the circle! i was once hit for 36k on reaper 10... bad circle! very bad!

Generally speaking against vengies you want spell absorb because horrid wilting. So pale lavender seems to be the goto.

Sidenote, I just randomly slot it on at level 5 and keep it there until 10 it's actually great.
