Reflect mods on gear - why?

"4 damage reflected" on a 68 level helmet, what's the point. Even mobs on normal wouldn't die of that.

Who balanced these mods? What are these mods meant to be used for? What were they thinking? :-D

Shouldn't those be like 4% rather than 4 flat damage reflected? Maybe it's a code typo or something?

it was put their intentionally to dilute the crafting affix pool and make it harder to craft bis items. sadly rmt dont care but the poor sap who only ever had 4 exalts to his name does.

light radius served a similar function.

Light radius was an ok mod back in Diablo 1 and pre-exapansion DII days when you couldn't just see enemies around corners or in other rooms, as well as a very shit light radius that made you only see a small portion of what was in front of you (good times).

Now that most maps areas are completely lit and you can see things around corners and behind walls, who gives a flying f*ck?

Light radius was introduced before the notable that makes it based on ES as I recall. Low life builds used to be blind indoors.

Indeed, but even then it was a useless mod.

The devs believe that useless affixes make the game more fun.

I wish i was kidding.

I have a shield have 2 relect mods...which is about 500 (I remember 1 is 260 and the other is 240) with a 8% all res and some health and something i cant remember...It was a nice one but I vendor it accidentally...

It is not fun. It is stupid.

I actually wanted to be able to roll "reflects 1 lightning damage on block"
not 1-200
just to shove salt into your wounds. :P

because one day a supporter will make an item with....



INNER PEACE: "all reflected damage is increased by 300% - you can't actively deal damage yourself"
