Is Molten Shell damage reflected ?
|
Hi.
As the original title : is it reflected by elemental reflect monsters ? I guess the response is yes because i keep 1-Shotting myself against them with my low amount of life high damage character. And since it's a result of attacks, should it be not reflected ? I mean a damage resulting from attacks = "reflect" no ? And reflect reflected damage should not be possible, am i wrong ?

I think the thing is that molten shell is not actually reflecting anything (the damage it deals is not "reflect"), it just detonates like discharge or ice nova when certain condition is met. The damage it deals is just delayed, but still classic spell damage.

Yes its reflected.
What funny is that ( i think , i am convinced 80% ) Thorns doe snot "reflect" molten, i dont think it must be changed, its good as it is, if only it was not reflected against ele reflect monsters though Anarchy/Onslaught T-Shirt Owner.

"Molten Shell's damage is not reflected damage, it's just damage dealt by the spell. That damage can be reflected by enemies. Molten shell itself doesn't reflect anything. The difference is that damage reflection is like shooting your laser gun at a mirror - it bounces back and hits you. Molten Shell is the monsters shooting their laser guns at a bomb strapped to you - the lasers might set the bomb off, but that doesn't mean the bomb is reflecting the laser's damage, it's dealing it's own, triggered by the lasers. | |

Ok thank you a lot for the answer. I hope it stay not be "reflected" by thorns ( i am not sure of how thorns work so i might be saying something that don't have sens )
However, there is something that i would have liked to see an answer to it aswell : it's in this thread http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/433680 Could you explain to me please what happens ? Thanks for all the skills you and your crew are making :) Anarchy/Onslaught T-Shirt Owner.

I had this great Idea to use Vaal Molten Shell with Vaal Cyclone. Make sure there is no Ele-Reflect Rare around ;)

Uhm so from what i understand vaal molten shell should be safe to use in ele reflect scenarios right?
