Turn Reflect into a Projectile

Instead of immediately taking damage when you hit a reflect enemy, projectiles fly out of the enemy in a random direction and then loop back into you. You can then dodge or tank those projectiles. The more damage you do, the more projectiles are created per hit, each doing a portion of the reflected damage. Projectiles you dodge could loop back again, possibly several times until the projectile lifetime runs out.

This will give a player time to react to a reflect enemy, a choice on how to handle reflect, tank, avoid, or a combination of both. The delay of incoming projectiles allows the player to leech or otherwise heal the damage they may suffer from being hit by reflect projectiles.

And this would be my contribution to the reflect problematic.

Did you just come playing d3 or some shit? That's where it's from lol

Reflect should just turn on and off like grimdawn and yeah D3 does it too AND it fires projectiles.

D3 stole my idea before I came up with it? Damn! Blizzard has a time machine, we're doomed. But seriously, no idea what D3 does, I don't follow that game.

If you're melee, is there a difference between instantly taking damage and some projectile appearing and going straight to you and hitting you immediately?

Reflect belongs in 2013. It's not 2013 anymore.

The projectile goes off in a random direction first before looping back, so you have a bit time to react.
