Hey wizards on the PTR. I am just wondering how RD is working on the PTR right now in terms of needing life steal on our weapons.
I run archon and am wondering if the return damage is higher or lower then now. I normally don't care but I don't like switching weapons in my speed runs and I have enough life steal to not care but I run blood magic and have a LS weapon compared to Force Weapon and my non LS weapon.
As it stands if i go full dps I can burn 1 at a time and not care about the reflect (damaged but easily regained from either a potion or globes). If I catch all 3 in the archon beam I need the Life steal or I melt myself (with life steal build, my life stays exactly neutral - other damaging abilities).
So if anyone can give me a heads up from the PTR that would be awesome.
I actually sold my life steal weapon (well, selling, actually... someone offered already) because I tried out MP10 on PTR and the Reflect packs don't hurt as much as they used to, given they don't always have Reflect on and not all 3-4 have them active at a time. Blood Magic, potions and health globes are usually more than enough for me.
Then again, my mitigation and EHP isn't exactly normal, either.
I recommend you keep the life steal weapon to make your life easier. Unless you really don't need it, then sell it off or throw it on an alt.
Thanks Jeatch thats what i wanted to know. I never planed on dumping it right away but knowing i can switch to my stronger weapon will defiantly be nice for higher MPs come the patch.

Depends on how it is now for you, if you instant die when catching RD then you will to in the situation you explained. If not then you will not.
But if you are careful then there is no problem, as you can clearly see which one of them is reflect and when, but that would take some positioning.
