Selene bear attack on vet

BuyMe500Pugs_Please
Curious to know if you can survive this on a high health tank stacking shields? Or is this a one shot no matter what?

    I think you can live it with just block.

    But honestly, why would you ever take the hit, it's super easy to avoid.

    No real reason tbh just wondered if it was a one shot, I'm suprised it doesn't hit harder.

    A lot of the myth comes from a few patches ago where you couldn't block it, in which case you were looking at a 40k slam. And at that time pretty much no tanks ran anywhere near that amount of HP.

    Lag. I have to block the second I see her start winding up for the attack because if I'm any later I run the risk of my game not recognizing that I blocked. Sometimes its forgiving and not laggy, and other times I'm like "I blocked that!!! Sorry guys, need a rez."

    at 30k health it's one shot if blocked

    anyone tested how much health is needed to survive it?

    It will kill regardless of how much may hp or shields you have stacked.

    Have died to it on a 73hp dk tank with bone shield, igneous shield, and the leap shield. So it will kill you blocking, with 73k hp and a 140k+ shield.

    There are a few mechanic that will kill you no matter what. Another is the red ring in Spindle 2, no amount of hp or shields will save you from that.

    I remember when that attack was a guaranteed one shot before they nerfed it. I had just got used to side stepping from the one shot days. I think it used to hit for like 80k through block. Just look for the telegraph & step to the side of the boss.
