Reflect is a dumb mechanic, because how often do you stop to read all the monster affixes when mowing them down?

You dont need to read the mods : reflect mobs have a very visible set of spikes which are flashing in and out constantly, it's visually very attention-grabbing, precisely for the purpose of warning the wary player.

I die to reflect in 2 to 4 Arc casts, I cast 2.4 ones per second.
As for Storm Call it's even funnier, by the time you realize you've targeted a reflect mob, your calls are waiting out their 1.5 seconds timer before they fall and you die:)

Seriously the reflect mechanic is great as it is, you gotta be careful otherwise the game is boring.
It's not hard enough, not risky enough as it is, far from it.
Facerolling is boring. Stop whining. Whiners destroy all games.

But, reflect means that I can't 1-button, 1-hit spam kill offscreen mobs with either my ranged attack or my Flicker-Multi. You can't expect me to be conscious while I play, can you?

I mean, I've got my Twitter working, I'm streaming, I'm responding to trade tells and watching SportsCenter while I run this map. I can't be arsed to pay attention to the game...

And, more importantly, how dare you insinuate that my failure to account for a known mechanic might somehow constitute an "L2P" issue.

Oh, this thread again.

If reflect is the only thing in this game making it "difficult", then I'm sorry to say that there is a bigger problem here.

There have to be better ways of adding depth to the game than a glorified version of "why are you hitting yourself?"

Bumping for great justice. I hate reflect with a passion in any and all games it's in.

if you don't it's because you suck and don't farm enough, you loser.

humorously i like the reflect mechanic, precisely because it causes you to slow down and take a break from your roflstomping.

most times i notice it immediately, because i have shitty builds and see my health dropping - more than usual - when i'm attacking.

who'd have thought there was an advantage to crappy gear ?
