Reflected damage can be blocked?

I've heard that reflect damage can be blocked according to whether you are using an attack or spell (spell only blockable if you have spell block). Can anyone verify this first-hand? --Zaranthan (talk) 05:31, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it can be blocked or dodged. --Illviljan (talk) 17:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Physical Damage Reduction VS DM Reflection‎

Hi All,

I am new to the game and currently playing around with different classes and styles.

I have one question, which I didn't find the answer on the web - is the Physical damage reduction(from Endurance charges for example) reducing the reflected damage, I receive if I hit someone with % physical dm reflection?

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 100shibanirozi (talk • contribs)

Yes, it appears to not be explicitly stated in this article for some reason but since armour (#% additional Physical Damage Reduction when Hit) reduces reflected physical damage so will Endurance charges which is a less restrictive version (#% Physical Damage Reduction per Endurance Charge). --Illviljan (talk) 17:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Dangers of Reflect Section

I removed this section as it was no longer relevant due to random reflect packs being removed from the game. The section was restored in an edited form by Neokowloon. This section is still arguably redundant, as the Sources of reflect damage section already lists this information. SerpentofSet (talk) 02:53, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

It seems prudent to explain that reflect is a very dangerous mechanic to watch out for. —Vini (t|c) 17:34, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Reflect was much much much more dangerous when a random magic pack could roll reflect. That being said, your reply does not address my previous comment, which is that some of the information provided in this section is redundant. After thinking on this for a while I would suggest removing the redundant information and merging the rest of the information with the mechanics section and the introductory section.

Agree with above. i suggest adding a sentence to the lead that warns players that players deal a lot more damage than monsters, and for this reason any amount of reflect would instantly kill most player characters. Bloonpauper (talk) 18:51, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
