Stop letting Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgement penetrate player's own resistance vs reflect

Non-Critical Strikes Penetrate 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances


So it should never ever apply to yourself.

With reflect, you are your own worst enemy. ;)
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

5. Following up on the previous. Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgement's 10% elemental damage penetration is a modifier that applies to "non-critical strikes"; reflect falls directly into this category and has nothing to do with being hit. Likewise if you take a Passive node like Heart of Flames, you will penetrate your own fire resistances by 3% when it comes to reflect calculations.

6. In regards to the linking of a elemental penetration gem; the only things that reflected damage inherits and gets used for calculation purposes is: the tags of the source(projectile,attack,spell,etc), x% of the damage taken by monster, the damage type (phys,fire,cold, or lit), and its ownership (to whom the damage will be resolved to). The % penetration from a penetration gem is not taken into account in the calculation of reflect because the effect is local to the original spell/attack and not an attribute of the owner whom the damage will be resolved to (meaning you); hence this is why Inevitable judgement will apply the penetration to players when it comes to reflect, but not the penetration gem!

If a GGG mod reads this, feel free to confirm/correct/improve my understanding of reflect here, I think it will make it much more clearer for the community in the future.


Thanks for jumping in on the other thread. I think this is the most sensible reasoning for why Inquisitor penetrates on reflect while support gems do not.

I was running regular atziri on my 95% light res mjolner guy and decided to hit the mirror and proceeded to nearly suicide. I was like "how can this happen...I have always been nearly invulnerable to lightning damage!!!" Now I understand that all those crits were going back at me with only 85% light res. even with vaal pact I was losing health quickly. Atziri reflect OP.

Basically if you are going to be an inquisitor you either get vaal pact or you run a totem/trap/mine to do your dirty work. And don't hit Atziri holding a mirror rofl
It turns out after some investigation that neither of Inevitable Judgement's effects apply to reflected damage.

Sorry for the confusion!
