MAYA: is an Antagonist (shield) and Kinetic Reflection (skill) combo redundant?

Just wondering if they would work well together or if it would not since Kinetic Reflection gives 100% deflection.

If you enchanced Reflection to 10/5, it is. If not, its great synergy.

If you speak of Trickster mod with +5-6 reflection, on kill it will be nothing speciall. If you go basic 5/5 with no mod boost it'll make you nearly imprevious to bullet fire. Dont know if its something like '85% cap' or 0.5*0.5 chance but from personal experience in most situations Maya could stand in crossfire with close to no troubles. Will take Some(!) beating but nothing close to dropping shield.

Do you think it is more useful than Inertia? It is between those 2 skills paired with an Antagonist. Playing at 72 not OP levels.

If you want take only one of those, Anagonist&reflection will be more potent than Antagonist&inertia. In-combat regen is good, but reflection combo usually survive blasts of shotgunners that do 1-shot healthgate with shields on.
I use both inertia and reflection with antagonist (legendary Siren so no + to any of those) on OP8 and thats tankiest i felt outside of (ab)using ruby/grog.

cool, ill change over the points to Reflection and see how it feels with the Antagonist. Inertia is nice but KR may suit my run and gun palystyle more. Too bad I only have enough points for the one :S
