Spell Reflect

[szadek]

Does anyone know what crit % do you have when you spell reflect a spell?

for instance, I'm frozen by a frost mage, he casts a frostbolt, i reflect. do i get the 50% crit from being frozen then his regular crit? or what?

thanks!

I believe it's counted as hitting himself, so it doesn't matter if you are frozen or not, just whether he is.

Right. Shatter won't affect him. Spell reflect works like this: Whatever +damage, crit, talents etc. are calculated and "imbued" into the outgoing spell. When it hits your spell reflect, the opposite it true. Whatever resilience, resistances, shields, status effects etc. are calculated again against said caster. It might have crit you for 3k, but since they have frost ward, ice barrier, 400 resilience, and aren't frozen, it will only hit them for 100 damage non crit. Happens all the time. That's why you see so many stupid 300 ice lances reflected while you think "wtf, that would have crit me for 2k." You might as well be a lvl 1 spell reflecting statue, because any of your stats or status are not even affected by spell reflect. That being said, reflecting chain lightning is probably one of the top 5 coolest things ever in this game.
