0.11.0 Patch Notes

I still feel like reflect in general is a bad mechanic. It relies on one having some source of regeneration and basically goes against the idea of having more damage. Now, I don't know about you, but when I play ARPG's, I want to have as much damage as possible while still surviving. This makes it so that I have to have LESS damage in order to survive, which is just silly.

When I played D3 glass cannon, I loved dying to reflect mobs, or a particular mob which got changed to reflect. There was absolutely nothing I could do about it other than use the really crappy skills (there were quite a bit, actually..) to reduce my damage. It was pretty stupid.

In Hardcore, it's even stupider. Having reflect as a mechanic makes the high-DPS, low-survivability builds EVEN worse than they currently are, which is pretty much complete shit with mobs that flickerstrike. I always found semi-glass cannon on HC one of the funnest things you could do, where you actually kill mobs and position yourself perfectly so that you never die. Reflect ruins this!!

People saying that it prevents people from getting too much DPS... That's pretty stupid, since the whole purpose of getting more loot is to become stronger, ya know? If you want to prevent people from getting too much DPS, nerf damage, not add reflect mechanics. Though, they DID nerf it, which I suppose is a good thing.

Stupider is not a word... and how else would you die end game if you had 100% resistance.. and how would u die in PVP.. worst idea in the world..

They are trying to even out all the mechanics. just like the other person said.. if they change 1 then everything has to be changed due to that change of mechanism.. let them do what they do. Not like its a random patch without extensive testing....

still, we won't get our auras back so ...

yes, that is the one and only thing i complain about.

Love the patch , it really gonna change the meta game. Tanky char is too powerful now, and is the only viable option for end game progression

Now there are some incentive to build mire dps oriented builds

Reflect wants to say hello to your reduced life and es pool.

I can see the benefit in limiting maximum resistances, but why not flat cap it at 95%?

There is such a bloody simple answer for this.

95% + 1 unique that adds 5% to max = 100% resistance. End of.

Clearly you missed the point. Flat Cap = Hard Cap, the unique wouldn't be able to push it past 95%. Nothing would.
