Spell block doesn't mitigate reflected spell damage.

I've got a mara with 70% spell block and it works well enough, but it doesn't ever block reflect damage from ethereal knives. I remember reading a post from a dev that stated reflect damage taken by the player was an exact copy of the spell/attack used on the monster, just at a 20% dmg scale. Is it really intended to be unaffected by spell block? If it is, does it ignore spell dodge also? And if you crit, is the reflected crit proportion of the damage mitigated by mara's reduced crit damage nodes?

Mark,

Is there any update for when the bug causing Spell Block not to work against enemies with Reflection might be fixed? Reflect is pretty detrimental to the current end-game, so this mechanic would make a lot of builds much more viable (especially melee!)

Thanks :)

Interested to know as well if this has been addressed.
How about a fix?
