Still no fix to phy reflect...(waiting for GGG reply) why are you encouraging bad play styles?

I believe over-capped damage applies for the reflect, so you're chunking yourself for 18% of 50k per hit, and since that's physical damage, it's crushing all your armour, which means your actual mitigation is quite low.

You need:
1) More armour. A lot more.
2) Endurance charges. Even 3 endurance charges provides 12% flat physical mitigation, which is likely more than you're getting even with your 40% mitigation from the flask.
3) Do less damage.
4) Incorporate more ways to avoid your own reflect damage. If you're not using resolute/unwavering stance, incorporate more evasion/block.
5) I'm guessing you're stacking Crit chance/multiplier... Drop the multiplier if possible; it will mitigate the burst damage you deal, but also the reflect you take.
6) Get more ES. Get a 1k+ ES chest or an Armour/ES chest with tons of both.

Alternatively, roll a new character for the fun of it.

Theres a dual-strike melee splash build on the shadow forums that has under 6k es and can do any map mods with 40k splash without abyssus and 60k+ with...

No need to overkill damage. That mentality is what makes you die in this game. Dischargers 1 shotting themselves with 300k discharge... just to have it that high when you will 1 shot the mobs with much much lower damage and not killing yourself on reflect. Same goes for melee builds with obscene damage and crit... like what makes people think this is a good idea? Just to see a pretty number on the character screen?


YOUR thoughts of "bad play styles" is the problem. Not the game's fault you're incompetent.

Good luck with your build, hopefully you find a solution.

Don't see what the problem is to be honest.

I'm running a flicker build myself with 94k dps, 80% crit chance, 900%+ crit multiplier and I still rarely 1 hit myself unless I absolutely stop paying attention to whats going on or what I'm attacking during flicker.

I rarely find this to be a build breaking mechanic since I have LS with high elemental to take care of reflect mobs. Why not set up an alternate skill to deal with reflect?

The real problem for me is when you cannot see the effect of the boss type because its either covered by spell spam, other mobs, or just below the general landscape (around slopes, in water etc.)
