Huminator, I would just like to say that it is posts like yours that put games into the ground.

basically saying 'the game is fine because I'M not having any issues with it'.

RD as a consept is completely counter intuitive to any logic to be found in games. I play games to have fun, to make my charactor stronger, faster, and just better. RD just straight punishes you for having better gear. Every time I die to it, I contemplate uninstalling the game. And if one person who actually does the research of a game, strives for competent builds and gear set ups is having this issue, then how many other people who just casually play the game are having it, and thinking the same thing.

the people who post on these forums are for the most part the top 1% players of the game simply by vertue of being well informed and attempting to better themselves. everyone else will run into these RD mobs and just get stone walled.

the biggest problem with RD isnt even the amount, for all i care they could double, triple or hell even make it as strong as iron maiden was in D2, the problems is there is no way to use SKILL to avoid the damage. my build and gear choices should not even matter if im GOOD enough to get the job done. this is an action game. gear checks should not be a part of it in ANY way. this is not WoW were proper gating is needed to prolong the life of the game/content.

and your argument about being a glass cannon is apperently being thrown around with out any testing on your part as well. my DH prioritizes defence over her DPS, and STILL i have gear swaps for LS, LoH and even MORE defences. she will simply one shot her self even on MP0. My build lets me kill every other champion pack in the game simply using vault to skillfully avoid and dodge attacks. Hell i dont even play with any LS or LoH normally because my defences are good enough to handle any mistakes. i swap only to fight RD, and even that just lets me die half as often.

the argument about ignore the affix completely, well my barb already does that because i actually like using rend with lifesteal, no issues, my monk ignores it because i happen to like building him as a tank with tons of LoH.

RD is either too powerful or completely worthless depending on build, and forcing people into builds because of it is also a horrible way to design a game.

my opinion if any one is still reading at this point is to increase the reflect ALOT but have it pulse on and off like shields do. so that some form of skill or tactics can be used in this action game.
