Do you think SE could do a reflect spell?

Repeated in bold. % return based skills don't work because entering a fight naked and letting the boss hit you for 30% of 99,999 and being rezzed after would become a real strategy.

It's not a reflect though. That's the issue. The attacker just takes pathetic spike damage.

Calcabrina's Brace is more true of a reflect then what your idea suggests. But if a copy and paste of Warrior's Vengeance but for magic damage is what you want by all means.

I would rather have more interesting skills like a magical vengeance than a game breaking skill that would be nerfed to unusable after its release.

You are just copying Warrior though and giving less mitigation for it. It's just like how Shadow Wall is a crappy Sentinel. How is copying a skill over interesting?

Eh, if you're going to reflect stuff, give it to a tank in the form of a 30s cooldown and be done with it. Having it be a spell with a long duration and giving it to someone other than a tank creates issues.

It would be an ability o.o I main sch and think whm should get it for obvious reasons.

Swtor has a reflect ability for one of the tank classes.

Saber Reflect: Reflects back all direct single target ranged, force and tech attacks back to the attacker for 3 (5 if specced for it) seconds. The damage done by each reflect is capped, and the cap raises with each new rank of the ability.

It's a very powerful defensive cooldown in of itself because it's basically 3 (5) seconds of immunity (the only type of damage it doesn't reflect are melee based special attacks which is the least common for the most part) to a lot of enemies on a 60 sec cd WHILE dealing damage back to them. It can definitely work as a mechanic for tanks. Maybe if they make rdm a tank they could have something like this and make it work or if they go with samurai tank it could go for a counter style of tanking where a portion of the damage is reflected back to the attacker with a cap of some kind in place.

Or Ravana's and Calcabrina's directional parry mechanics.
