I am assuming that this will affect our Legonnaires Conviction spell as it is a damage reflect. And if not reduce then put a cap on the damage it can in fact do. The wording is kind of wonky but it seems that this will reduce the damage that Legonnaires Conviction will reflect. Has anyone been able to confirm this against raid mobs yet in their parses of what they EXPECTED to see (as in their usual reflect damage) and what it does now? I would greatly be interested.</p>

<p>That won't change a thing when you use it in normal situations. It only reduces the extreme amount of damage when you reflect things that are supposed to 1-shot you.</p>

I mean if the mobs have that one-shot ability, and you have a reflect, shouldn't it really hurt them? If you get Medusa to look in a mirror she turns to stone too, she doesn't just get a headache! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I've never spec'ed for it myself since I don't raid, but I can see the attraction with the way it was. Less so now.Still, no where near as big a nerf as the heal nerf or the mit nerf ... thinking about dusting off my Assassin and standing behind the mobs for a bit. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

It wont hit the multi million hits any more? Or will it still work on the Sara fight as she is supposed to 1 shot you if your not the "proper tank".</p>
