I legitimately want LT to reflect against Ranged Attacks as well. That'll get it nerfed SO GOD DAMN HARD you wouldn't believe.

This is the only problem.

High priority targets are a good mechanic that make game play more tactical but only melee really has to deal with it. If there were more mobs that required a kill order or gave out penalties, like death, for touching the hot stove while the fire is still on it would make fights more interesting.

Lightning thorns are not the threat but the legion of blackguards smacking you up are. The thorns just stop you being able to fight back until the source is dealt with.

Maybe I'm wrong, but with my LA/LMP/Chain if I shoot into a pack, and the shield comes up, I die. Instantly.

This is only on Cruel Barracks with my Ranger as I'm leveling up, but... it's hurting me as well. Does it really only affect melee, cause I get one shot when I use LA/LMP/Chain and there's no one within melee distance of me.

they changed it in patch 1.06? they nerfed the damage in half but made it effect ranged aswell

Don't use skills like Cyclone or Lightning Arrow against archmages?

I can't even use my single target attacks against them without intentionally slowing my attack speed. If I held down my frenzy on one monster with LT i would die within a second with 80% lightning resist and over 4k hp. So instead I get to shoot... wait... shoot... wait... very boring. Already have to sacrifice 50% damage to nullify normal reflect, now I have to sacrifice like 50% of my attacks per second due to LT (not to mention losing chain and downgrade to lmp on LA to avoid off screen deaths). I already quit melee due to this stupid ability, probably time to just quit poe for a while. Don't really have the motivation to build a dual totem at the moment.
