Damage reflection is something that is annoying, because it can be activated with no 'grace' period of 1 or 2 seconds to allow a player to react to it going up. Frost dragons in particular are what I'm talking about, as there is no indication of it about to appear, but to a lesser extent Araxxor as well. Players *NEED* to have the opportunity to stop instead of getting pwned because they used a high damage ability when a damage reflection buff appears out of nowhere.

Also, the really annoying thing is the Death Mark Necromancy execute debuff being allowed to proc on a target with damage reflect on, then reflecting that to instantly kill the player is asinine and annoying. Please fix it and make damage reflection less punishing and cheap than it is. If you're going to have damage reflection, give players a chance to react, and for heaven's sake, don't add reflection to instant death/execute attacks.

If you know the attack pattern of mobs like Araxxor and Forsties, you can only get hurt for reflection from high damages on multiple hits with your own channel or queued abilities. However, that's why we have the Cease ability added two years ago.

They aren't random. Rax's web reflect is predictable - special attack follows every 5 auto attack, and no 2 same special attacks in consecutive auto attack cycle. Frosties are even more observable. There is a little icon swirling above their heads when their reflection is on.

If the player is below 20% health I could maybe understand this, but if the player is above 20%.... wtf? sounds like a bug to me (and maybe report it as such?) Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
