Examples include Dark archers, assassins, etc. The chance for this ability (to reflect)starts at 36.2% at CA level 1, and increases incrementally up to a maximum of what appears to be ~70%(possibly higher?). On average for the first 15 levels you can expect to gain ~1% per level up. While apparently wild in growth rates at first, it does even out at around level 9. As a cast-able buff this skill provides a large chance to reflect damage, it is highly recommended that skill level be increased with socketed runes or +aspect equipment to improve the duration but not the regen time. If the Gold Mod Permanent is chosen the growth and final chance to reflect are halved(rounding up), this is NOT recommended until much later in a Temple Guardian's life where he can afford to pump levels, eat runes, etc. Pros and Cons Pros ... ...
