While yeah you won’t be able to clash with your own barriers anymore they will still make attacks collide with them. Which means you’ll still be hit by attacks (for reduced damage but still) that other reflexes would just avoid.
(glass barriers are still hilariously bad even after this)
my guess is it will still be the worst reflex just not by quite as much.
It will be slightly less shitty, but still shitty
copium, I’ve got 50% damage resist dodge reflex I’m functionally immortal while running
I mean yeah metal reflex damage reduction is nice, I use it because metal barriers is my best choice. But my goodness it really does feel bad taking damage that you just wouldn’t otherwise.
how so
They’ll definitely be better, but they’re still solid magic. You can’t see ANYTHING through those.
So it’s consistent, not in a good way.
when an attack hits the barrier it will impact and explode like it would with your character or a wall. So you can dodge the impact of an attack only to be hit by the AOE of the attack that happens after it collides with the barrier
That’s like half the damage of what you would normally take
Not taking the dodge reflex dmg reduction into account
no I am, It’s still damage you just would not have taken if the barriers didn’t cause attacks to explode into their aoe
Yeah I get the feeling it should be replaced with like “shell” or something, where it coats you in your magic to defend yourself
Like iron arms
