General Discussion - "Reflect is a vital in PoE so players need to balance offence and defence and use their brains" - Forum

It's good that reflect can be circumvented with some investment: 1) Build - totem builds, trap builds, summomer builds don't have any problem with reflect 2) Items - voltaxic bow, high ES 3) Passives - Vaal pact 4) Gems - famous combo: CoDT (lvl 1) -> immortal call (lvl 3) -> inc duration (lvl 20) But certainly some investments needs to be made to circumvent this mechanics. It's just some strategical decisions which needs to be made or just to suffer this mechanics. Ps.: immortal call combo is very good - I estimate my DPS on Nemesis HC to big group to be like 100K (spread over all the monsters in the group) and still no problem with phys reflect on such group thanks to gem combo. :-) MY CHALLENGES ARE DONE ON HC, IT'S NOT SC GUYS!

Ah, so what you're saying is that the sole problem with dps builds is reflect? Good thing then that we can choose to not worry about anything but reflect, yet reflect is apparently easy to handle, according to other posters. Game plays itself! We're done here! basically yes, if you manage to stack enough pdps to 1 shot everything while not getting ele dmg you have won the game :) "Path of nurfs" - LVL 100 + LVL 100 + LVL 100 ENDGAME REAVER "1.3.0 Path of nurfs 3. expansion" Shops: 1031762,774343,883462,371756,1091096,1099789,1260674 Reaver Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/velo1337/videos	Posted by danisonxtc#0218 on Dec 17, 2013, 5:03:52 AM Quote this Post

That's not a trivial task. There have to be better ways of adding depth to the game than a glorified version of "why are you hitting yourself?"

It is supposed to make reflect manageable. You still need life leech to cover HP loss there, and Vaal Pact will still be highly appreciated for insane-DPS build anyway.... If your DPS, though is so insane that you can oneshot yourself becouse of reflect, then, perhaps, it's time to increase HP pool instead?
