Blazing Barrier question

mistressmuerta

hello everyone i have been experimenting with all the pure dmg skills or perfect worlds attempt to immulate damage to the soul... i do not have blazing barrier yet and have a theory that i hope is wrong, but does blazing barrier work on the BM morai skills like blade tornado and reckless rush? If not oh my this opens up some massive op potential for bm's considering they have quite an array of these type of skills...

note: when i says soul/pure dmg skills i mean skills that would do the following

:ignore def lvls, damage nerf pots/skills(plume shell/bramble hood), does not wake a target from sleep, ignores immunity, and can only be reduced by the targets natural defense to the damage type

examples: edged blur, soul burn, absorb soul, mark of weakness, telekinesis, flash, blade tornado, reckless rush, magic shackle,and damage from soul shatter

Blazing Barrier is a 15 second reflect buff that does work in open world pvp. It does not cancel out bramble guard or bramble hood so in essence you could have 2 reflect buffs on at once reflecting DD in duels, TW, NW, and open world mobs. That about the extent of the special characteristic of that skill other than it is pretty.

As with the other reflect buffs the DD reflected is dependent on their DD to the veno and their armor. The more PDEF they have the lower the DD from the reflect will be. Sometimes the DD is insignificant but the 30% DD reduction to the veno in pvp isn't. That does help in many circumstances.

Ty for your reply but i was just asking if it reflects the BM skills(reckless rush..ect) that do not show up in the dmg log that deal physical damage...i will just level up and test the skill myself

Blade Tornado and Reckless Rush act as status that cause physical damage, they don't seem to actually be physical damage by nature. In any case, it as far as I've seen I haven't had damage reflected back to me when using them, though I can't think of too many Venos I've used either on in NW.

I tested this out in a dual today with a BM friend:-

Reckless Rush hits through Blazing Barrier AND Bramble Hood with no reflect damage to the BM.
Blade Tornado hits through Blazing Barrier AND Bramble Hood with no reflect damage to the BM.

Hope this answers your question
