Guild Wars 2

I was doing some tests against a 100% crit rifle war. Many reflected projectiles with Feedback did not crit (I was 50% crit). With 2k toughness I got hit for 12k with a killshot, Mimic->Echo it back on that full glass warrior and hit him for only 7k. This brings up an important question. We have multiple way of reflecting:
- Feedback
- Mirror (heal)
- Traited Curtain/iWarden
- Traited F4
- Mimic

Do all of the above reflects work by “stealing” the skill enemy attempted using and then shoot it back while using mesmers power/prec/crit/etc stats in the damage calculations instead of simply reflecting the 100% of the damage back to the source?

If that is true, then would a reflected/Mimic’ed killshot, or any projectile for that matter, from a pvt war hit for much harder if I was a full glass mesmer?

I’m no where near well read on the matter, but I would assume that mimic’s absorbed projectile would work differently from a directly reflected projectile with feedback for example.

For example, Feedback on the last boss of Arah p1 deals something like 90k on him where there is no way that I could hit that hard based on stats alone.

Did you try putting up feedback on the warrior and get him to kill shot again?

Reflect doesn’t use power. I’m not sure exactly how boss damage is calculated but having a lot of power doesn’t affect your reflected damage. What does affect it is having precision, crit damage, and % damage boosting traits. That’s why the optimal Lupicus solo build for mesmer is 10/30/0/20/10, because you want to maximize your crit damage, +damage traits, and have lots of spammable reflects.

yes reflection just effected by cchance and cdamage.. but how they are effected?
example.. enemy attack u, and i reflected it with chance of how much critchance i have and damage him on howmuch crit damage i ve? or with these is there any calculation with enemies stats? or how enemies skill effected with my stats? etc etc..

critchance and -damage are calculated by your stats.

From what I can tell reflect damage is basically some fixed number based on the attack reflected multiplied by any damage modifiers you have, multiplied by crit chance and crit damage.

Not sure if it has changed again in the last 2-3 months but reflected projectiles seems to be using the reflected’s power now (warrior in this example)
