So I see this genie skill that (supposedly) reflects magic damage?

Not that I'm a wizard so I don't really care but really, knowing how much damage wizards do and how little HP they have, then add that to how underpowered they already are, wth are the devs thinking. A wizard's job is to nuke heavy armored classes and wow suddenly they can now reflect damage on poor wiz's suck HP. Great job balancing.

    Most likely it will end up as Brumble for venos, where it does not work in pvp

    Is that why it's not working in duels?

    Good question. I would assume so, but you might want to post that as a bug in the Genie Skill Bug thread, just in case.

    I cant say that, but it seems if they removed the reflection on brumble and only kept the reduction on a 15 second dual spark skill that you can see a mile away that is about to be used, I cannot see them letting the magic reflect be available in pvp. It would seriously unbalance things.

    I can see reflected damage doing very little damage to a wizard bscause of high MDef and low % reflected, only way to tell us to try it and see.

    Doesn't work in pvp, but duels it does like bramble. I heard bramble works in tw so I bet this skill will work there too.

    I thought when you reflect damage it's based on the value of the damage you do to your opponent, not as though you're attacking yourself O_o.

    i dunno, the reflect property is weird, when things smack my herc for ~ 250-300 dmg they get reflected with 1k+ dmg. when they hit him higher in the thousand range, they reflect 3.4-4k so idk :|

    its supposed to deflect 70% of melee dmg, look at dmg the boss does and how much herc deflects.

    Herc reflects the damage the mob would do with no buffs/defense being included into the equation,i think...

    If you put hercs buff on or leave it off it still reflects the same amount back.
