Deflection

Deflection is a defensive ability which allows a target to reflect damage and stuns back to an attacker.

Typically this is provided by Deflector Specials.

• If that attacker is also wearing a Deflector, it will not protect them from receiving their own stun.
• Deflection does not reduce the original damage done to the target.
• damage is never deflected back against NPCs.
• Deflectors will absorb stuns from NPCs. They will not deflect it back.
• Battle Ram specials have a stun that will always go through Deflectors.
• Deflectors cannot block stuns from Intradictors during Garrison Engagements.

Example

• The attacker's damage output is unchanged by the Deflector.
• The attacker suffers a percentage of that damage based on the rarity of the target's Deflector.
• The attacker's damage modifier and the target's damage vulnerability modifier come into play during the exchange.
• The damage deflected back to the attacker is the target's deflect percentage multiplied by the attacker's damage.

• Attacker A shoots Target T
  • Attacker A has a +10% damage modifier
  • Attacker A has -5% damage vulnerability modifier
  • Target T has +20% damage vulnerability modifier
  • Target T has +25% damage modifier
  • Target T has a Legendary Deflector that deflects 15% damage back at attacker
  • Attacker A's minimum damage is 100
• Attacker A fires and rolls 100 damage (equal to his minimum)
  • Attacker A's +10% damage modifier kicks in
  • Target T's +20% damage vulnerability kicks in
  • Target T suffers 132 damage (100 * 1.1 * 1.2)
  • Target T DEFLECTS 20 damage back to Attacker A (132 * 0.15)
• Attacker A's -5% damage vulnerability modifier does not come into play
• Target T's +25% damage modifier does not come into play.
