Reflect ele damage is killing me.

Check my Merc build Mercenary_Daryl please.
Even though i am using a level 5 awakened ele damage with attack support gem which is supposed to give immunity to reflected damage it is still killing me.
Any ideas why>
Thanks.

Worked it out, i dropped infernal cry and i am now immune to ele reflect, maybe a bug?

From the Wiki about Infernal Cry:

Attacks exerted by Infernal Cry trigger the Combust skill, a melee attack that deals damage in an area.

Its damage can be reflected., assuming this ignores reflect immunity, but I have never tested it myself.

Infernal cry specifically states "damage cannot be reflected"
The level 5 awakened ele damage gem specially states "ele damage from supported skills cannot be reflected".
So maybe 2 x no reflects cancel each other out?
No idea what is actually happening.
I cannot find "combust" can be reflected?

The damage that cant be reflected on the gem is the explode when they die. Not combust.

Combust is an entirely separate skill that is triggered by the exerted attacks and is not socketed with your awakened ele damage with attacks so you you take full reflected damage from it. However combust at base only converts 60% of phys to fire so you would likely need both forms of reflect immunity unless you full convert phys to fire.

Infernal Cry screenshot

The properties at the bottom, under the Combust header, are the only ones that affect Combust itself.

If everything above affected Combust, then exerted attacks would constantly be applying Infernal Cry's buff/debuff and resetting the Exerted Attack count.
