Please help me - Want to do a Reflect build

[Darxane]

Hi, I'm more or less a new player and i wanted to play something particular.
Can anyone please help me doing a reflection build updated to the current version of the game that I can start without having already a character to farm endgame gear?

do those even still exist? i havent seen a reflect build that was viable since... closed beta when tennis reflect was a bug.

[Darxane]

I saw an armour that reflects 30/40% of the dmg, tempest shield etc but I'm not good at doing builds because I don't have experience

Damage outputs would be very low - and getting hit is something of a bad idea in the endgame. That and cast on damage taken being nerfed..
Can't see any way to make it viable.
The problem is that GGG don't want such passive playstyles.

Yeah. Iron curtains exist, but they relly HEAVILY on multistrike and HP per enemy hit.

This is my iron curtain build.

Auras: Empower linked to Vitality and determination
Other: Tempest shield linked to iron will
Other: Molten strike linked to multistrike, fortify, HP when enemy hit, iron grip, and point blank.
Other: Molten shell and warlords mark linked to cast when damage taken, iron will and/or blood magic (your item set will effect if you have enough mana or not)
Other: (you NEED these skills, but they dont link to anything. slot them in where you can) Reckoning, vengence, and riposte (riposte isnt necessarry, but if you have an extra green slot it helps your dps slightly).

As for your items, you will NEED the anvil amber necklace for this.
You will also be using any pure strength shield with high block %. Damage reflect is a bonus, but not required.

Your fights will consist of you using tempest shield, and then staying alive. you will need all your resistances capped, and a stone or chaos golem is preferable.

As an alternate, and to be honest better build, take out resolute techinute and the strength nodes leading to it, unwavering stance, and the entire cluster with bloodless beside unwavering stance, and start duelist. Go into gladiator for the spell block, and youl be EVEN MORE tanky.


PLEASE NOTE this build does VERY LITTLE DAMAGE. You will be nigh unkillable to anything but massive amounts of chaos damage, but you will barely tickle everything and boss fights WILL take upwards of twenty minutes of you holding the molten strike key.
I think i did malachai in an hour at the highest difficulty (but i never came close to dying!)

Dont even bother. Most players use chaos damage over time.

Not really a "reflect", but I have a max block Counterstriker. Recoking, Riposte, so when I block, I get free counterattacks.

I know it aint reflex but if you want a cheap buildm made for endgame that is kinda passive go for Righteous fire ^^
