So after the ss nerf... Its not as bad as I though I guess... As long as our traps dont get a nerf next.... But right now I have my glass cannon build im sitting about 55k dps and 20k hp. I can kill litterally anything now exept these bullshit elites that have reflect damage.
The way ive been dealing with them is spamming my NT about 3 hits from them im at 20% hp I pop ss regen it back start dying after it wears off pop again.. regen it back from tenticles. Start dying again pop a potion and then im dead after that and there around 1/2 hp.
Anyone have any better ideas I feel this is not the best thing out there and im being dumb.
When mobs have reflect damage I generally spam my Hate spells (currently I'm using Multi-Shot with Fire at Will and Elemental Arrow with Frost) with SS up. That way your large damage dealing spells aren't the ones reflecting back to you. This is also pending on whether or not their other affixes allow this and only having to use smoke screen to mitigate the reflected damage. Other than that you just have to kill them a lot slower with your hatred generating spells.
idk how much damage they reflect, but you can try to kite them with Entangling Shot with the rune for 6% life steal.
Different for every act, but I found 4 Nether Tentacles can be enough to kill me some times. So it might be something silly like 15-20%
Yea its so bad that I dont even notice the life leach from nether its usually 3-4 of them will kill me. And with the mobs having ya know 10 million hp.. Even ES doesnt have enough life leach. I can see it being possible having ss and that 60% ll skill (forget name all of a sudded) but that is the only time I would use that skill why have it in my build. Ya know?
I found these types much easier after I got an item that returns health on a hit. I'd suggest keeping an item or two like that around for these packs. It really increases your longevity. The only thing you need to worry about is your burst, make sure smoke screen is available for that.
You hit them with 3 clusters while your still invis
yes, 2.05 attack speed allows me to shoot 3 times in 1.5 sec of invis.
How low is your average ms man?
89 ms lowest, 200 avg. You can't imagine how often I die to stuff I can't dodge due to latency. Anyway, back to the topic - just hold down the button, and time your invis right after you shot your first cluster and you should be fine.
I'm halfway through act I on Inferno - apart from bosses the only reason I use smoke screen is for these! Trick is to be good at kiting and only damage when screened. Spiked traps are particularly good for this.
Yesterday I had 4 Champion packs in a row with Reflect Damage, and 2 of them had Invulnerable Minions Luckily none of them were Fast.
What I do is I run, lay a Caltrops with Immobilize, run as far as I can, drop another one, turn around and immediately start shooting. Just before the projectiles hit the mob, I SS. Rinse and repeat until one of you dies
I thought I was handling act 1 pretty well until act 2 started and those mobs crushed my dreams... I can handle progressing and wiping to elite packs / blues / bosses , but to die because a monkey demon jumped you out of nowhere and all his friends start to corpse camp you gets boring after a dozen deaths.

This. Hahaha, that's why I'm just farming Butcher over and over again, partly to get better gear for myself, and partly so I can get gear I can sell to buy better gear for myself xD I don't even bother with Vit anymore... Everything one shots you anyway..
I seriously dont understand why people whine about reflect packs, for me they are like the easiest.
Just spam nether tentacles and when they are about to hit press smoke screen and gg, its like they have 3 affix instead of 4.

you must not do enough damage
Lol this.
And tbh they got alot easyer. Back when I posted this I had a 800 damage weapon and about the same health. But now I have a 1200 damage and a shit ton more attack speed. I kill them about yx as fast before my ss wears off not a super issue anymore just kindof a sigh
And a bigger sigh at reflect damage fast morter extra health blue mobs
