Smoke fields reflect projectiles; thanks ANet.

That would only benefit smokescreen and black powder though right? That’s pretty specific

Hush child, we need teh buffz.

Would probably be under Shadow Arts, Grandmaster traits maybe.

Yes, but only if the buffs make sense. This makes no sense.

better to just give smokescreen reflection then, which to be honest doesn’t really make sense

I think this’d replace a few classes in the dungeon meta, or any place where reflects are in high demand. As temping as it sounds, I don’t think D/P should have a tool this good (unless it perhaps gets put in 30 Shadow Arts and Venomous Aura gets merged with Residual Venom. (Then it’d bar the complete glass cannons from using it, and everyone that could use it would have to choose between it and Shadow Rejuvination)(still, that may be even more of an over buff)(Maybe if it had a 15 second internal Cooldown to match our smoke wall.)

If you’ve played other classes, having to choose between two powerful grandmaster traits is always how things are balanced. You’re either choosing survivability or reflects.

P/P will be god in range-vs-range…too bad it will not be enough to reflect a nerf bat.

The thing of it is, we’d be able to attain near 100% reflect uptime is this applied to Black Powder, blowing other reflect users out of the water in that role, which is a major deal in many encounters in this game. Also, reflects turn defense into offense. The only things that would be able to harm us would be ranged Beam skills and AoEs.
