Balance change to damage reflect

Damage Reflect is perfectly fine as it is. Just need to experience it more to get better reacting to it.

Keep in mind that in PB you will be on voice chat, which is easier to hear if it is difficult to see in the visuals

 

I 100% understand the struggle for bowmasters, but the rest of the ranged classes (all classes really) should just keep their eyes open. In Dunas1 DR can fairly easily be predicted by counting the purple circles (usually its the 4th that is DR). In PB, as Leo mentioned, there is VC and people will call it out. The animation for it in PB is also not that hard to see if one is watching the screen. Surviving in maple taking 100% concentration is also not a bad thing, considering how AFK the game can be at times (and is definitely taken advantage of). Its not that much effort to put your animes on hold, instead of trying to combine it with maple content.

 

Idk about “perfectly fine” honestly. The damage is fine but I wish the duration was shorter. For the most part people only die during the first 2 seconds do we really need it to last 20 seconds of standing around twiddling our thumbs?

 

Actually safer to hold down hurricane and look for 1s

 

You get used to it with practice and learning what to look out for (mostly animations), but BMs trying to justify it is copium. Red light green light with dry eyes is not fun, and BMs get punished more than others.

 

I think it's ok in small doses and windows like during PB statues, but yeah playing red light green light for an hour isn't particularly interesting.

 

I think that's a separate issue, much like the WC/MC debate. I'm indifferent with the 20 seconds of being idle, but I mainly replied that the damage from DR and the window to get damaged are fine as is for BMs. I know BMs have it the worst when compared with all other classes, but I don't believe any change regarding that is necessary.

 

I have no idea for this is technically possible or not, but just personal wish - DR reflection damage gets cd of 500ms instead of every single 1st lines.

 

Reroll NL and leave Hurricane for the honored ones

 

I assume you mean on a specific boss or set of bosses, as DR actually isn't a flat "100%" and is a scaleable value and can be capped at a certain damage per tick (i.e when CHT was implemented its DR was a 4k/tick max). That being said, I do agree that DR was for quite a while in MS' history, alongside wep/mag nullify just a kinda "there" mechanic that served no real purpose aside from slowing DPS in an unengaging manner, but I also dont necessarily think it needs to be "changed".
