Hello Ren,
Thanks for posting this on the forums, for as I explained in response to your PM, I get a lot of PMs and I think it’s nearly always most productive to answer questions on the forums, where the information is helpful to all players.
I have asked about the “husk blocking” situation twice. Here was my question:
- Is husk blocking or reflecting eggs on Triple Trouble an exploit or is it okay to do?
Here are the precise answers that I have received:
- Yes. The fight in its current state is as intended, and skills/objects that can be reflected are intended.
- It’s okay. It still requires some skill to time and block those things, and it has become the evolved strategy on Live.
So there are you answers, and I hope they are helpful to you and other players.

Thanks for the response, Gaile.
Thank you for clearing this year old rumor.
Husks are not projectiles, but can still be blocked by invulnerability. Wether it’s allowed to block those has been a long standing question. I know that some communities saw this as a bug and refused to use it to block husks, while others use it all the time.
From your answers I’ll take it that blocking husks is indeed allowed because there is some skill required.

Thank you for the answer. It is nice to hear official word over the ephemeral “I heard from a dev” assertions.
