simple question what stats are needed to be able to run with only bloodmagic on say mp5+ so that one doesn't get wrecked by reflect damage and such.

[Misdeed]

it takes about 1500 physical res to negate reflect damage with 3% life steal.

1.5% life steal won't even cut it on MP4+. You're better off running with a life steal weapon. I personally keep my 2.6% life steal Echoing Fury in my inventory for a quick switch when I come across Reflect-Extra Health packs.

Reflect varies pack to pack, but I think the consensus is that it returns a % of your damage back. There's no way an Inferno-nerfed life steal (even 4.5% max for wizards) can cover that up naturally without some ridiculously high mitigation (armor and resist). It could be fine when hitting one member of an elite pack on lower MP levels, but trust me... it's awfully painful on high MP if you stick with only Blood Magic.

thats basically what i figured would be said now i just need to find a good deal on a EF like what you used xD

[Loroese]

Reflect mobs hit for 10% of the dps you do, mitigated by armor and physical resist. Your 1.5% life steal gains 0.3% of the damage you do as life in inferno. To be able to break even you'd need something like 97% damage reduction from armor and resists. Adding 3% life steal reduces that to a managable 91% break even point.

and then there is just the regular attacks that are going out aswell so i would have to play extremely well at the same time >.>

[crackred]

you will need 4% lifeleech, more then 300k dps and more then 700res unbuffed and 5,5k def
if you have that, reflect dmg is no more problem
