Questions about deflection

dimrok

How exactly does deflection work?

For defense, I believe it works this way:
I have 50% damage reduction
Mob hits me for 1000

I will take 500 (Ignore ArPen and Crits for a second, I know those can affect the damage but let's assume those don't exist)

What about deflect? How does it work? What does it do?

If you got 20% deflect chance and 50% deflect severity:
Mob hits you for 1000
You have 20% chance to reduce damage by 50%, so if deflect procs you'll take 500.
