Elemental damage reflect bug

Hi everybody!

I play a cold based tornado shot build which has 40% phys conversion to cold and 60% conversion to random element from ts gem + has level 5 awakened elemental damage, so i should be full elemental damage dealer + immune bec of gem.

My problem is that if my tornado shot arrows go offscreen, then on maps with elemental damage reflect mod i still get reflected while i have my awakened elemental damage.

If i do attack the monsters like a melee character than this problem does not come up.

Do you have any suggestion if i miss something or this is truly a bug? Anything is appreciated.

Thanks for reading it!

Have a nice day exiles!

Is it killing you outright or doing little tinks of damage to you? You will still take reflected damage from the hit portions of frost bomb and hydrosphere.

Killing instatly from nowhere. Hydro or frost bomb is only used on bosses by me.

EDIT: possible solution found: skip first paragraph

we have noticed something similar. interesting that you mention the range. we play aurabot spark duo with lots of proj speed so sparks have a long range. reflect immune comes from 60% ele mastery on tree and the Yugul soul so it should be a total of 110% reduced reflected ele damage. things like feared or uber atziri give us no trouble. we have died a few times to ele reflect maps. my suspicion is sextants. we deal mostly cold and fire damage and the last map we died on had cold and fire monster sextants on it. do you remember if your map had sextants on it? i will do some more testing with sextants and also the range thing.


EDIT: possible solution:

i learned from a forum post about phys reflect and abyssos that reduced and increased damage taken stacks additively:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3334894

this means for my case: we have 110% reduced reflected ele damage taken, but the sextants give us 14% increased fire and cold damage taken. so we feel a net of 4% of the 23% reflected damage.

this is weird for the awakened ele damage case since it states "Elemental Damage from Supported Skills cannot be Reflected" maybe there is only a 100% reduced reflected damage mod behind it. the whole additive stacking is stupid to me but maybe be careful with sextants.
