SlowDown and other mystic mob attacks

Player Questions Started Last reply 5 posts
I get this a lot on my Destroyer in VoS, and in the front rooms at Witches. I am wearing Tallum Heavy and have level 64 WC buffs, and Black Ore jewelry. Is there anything I can do that will significantly reduce how often I get hit with these attacks.? (I would also like to reduce how often I get hit with the attack that lowers accuracy in VoS.)

Only thing I can think of is to get a Weapon with "Magic: Mental Shield" SA on it then cast Bandage until it triggers. (If you give it to your warcryer, just have him /target you before he buffs and you are almost certain the buff will trigger on you. This is how I use my Hellknife:Mental Shield as an OL, despite most my buffs not being targetable. Soul Shield works for every other case being targetable.)

I'm not certain that buff protects agains those debuffs however. Skill descriptions are notoriously vague, and often effects will be 'bugged' between Updates. :(
That is a good suggestion. I have not yet gotten an A grade weapon for my WC, so I have an opportunity to do this. Or maybe go from a Kris to a Hellknife.

If your just boxing your WC and not fighting with it, a Club of Nature give L3 Mental Shield, and you can just Lux/Mammon one as it's the same crystal count as a Delusion/Homunkulus. A Hellknife gives Level 4 of this buff, which I think could be max level. (Heavy Doom Hammer is cheaper but only gives L2 of this buff.)

If your fighting with the WC, the lack of Focus on the Hellknife is definately noticable, but the extra Matk is useful.
Well, I fight with both the Destroyer and the WC, but in some places the Mental Shield could be more desirable than the extra damage of the Focus SA. From level 60 up, most places I take this pair either have nukers or stunners to put up with.
