Ok, Ill give some history into my day to explain my question's background and origin.
Me and a guildie(both 16) decided to make our first attempts at Acute Delerium, and Delerium.
-- We decided to do Acute(lvl 17 quest) first and breezed through it, no deaths.
-- Then we did Delerium(lvl 15 quest). At the final Beholder fight, 8-10 deaths.
After a wipe, upon first re-entry into the beholders room(he was at 1/3 health), I was the first to step into the room of the group(Rogue,Druid, 2 cleric hires), (I was fully buffed from airship and druid) and upon first step in, i was 1-shot insta-killed. I know its the 'Ten eye-rays, each of which can kill or disable a character who fails a saving throw. ' Attack that kept getting us. While we defeated him, and completed the quest, There was more deaths than i was happy with.
My question is about that attack, i guess i had always pressumed that Deathblock/Deathward was a protection against this attack. Im going to now assume im wrong.
1.) Is there a way to protect against this attack?
2.) and Since it's saving throw based, Is it Reflex?
Im a 16 rogue, i was at about +23 reflex save, The named Beholder, on hard difficulty, was lvl 22, The quest was a base level of 15, and on hard, should have been a Base of 16, What does my reflex need to be to more-sufficiently survive these guys?
Thanks![]()
