Deflective Armor

[Exodus]

@Exodus
at least we agree on 1 part, that the deflective is OP so far, however that seems like the only thing we agree on at this matter

I think your solution of nerf this weapon is wrong since it will lose the purpose I think you created it for.
The problem about this item is that it blocks way too much damage, and not that the cooldown is 0. If you give deflective just as much as 0.00000001 sec cooldown it already has lost it's purpose in my eyes. It might work fine if the opponent has just 1 poison, but what if he has 4? then the deflective armor would only affect 1 of the poisons and the rest of them would do full damage which means the deflective armor wouldn't really do much difference. so please instead of making deflective from an OP item to a shit item i suggest you keep the cooldown at 0 and lower the amount of reduced damage heavily.

I think you misunderstood what I wrote there. The changes you have quoted are already implemented since v8.76. The numbers there only apply to the basic versions of both Burst and Deflective Armor. The upgraded Deflective Armor has no cooldown of course. I'm well aware of how a cooldown would affect this item and it's the reason, why the upgraded Deflective will keep the 0 cooldown.

Wupti's right and i wrote about it already in new weapons thread. Except light fantstic, ice canon and inf rockets there's no reasonable counter for deflective. New short range weapons with about 1s cd or remade old would be nice. I also don't see a reason to spend 3k gold for upped burst. This item is just to weak. My suggestion is to make it block all dmg done in 0.5s peroid every 4s. In most cases it still be weaker than deflective but good enought to spend gold for upgrade.

You mentioned three weapons, which cost 3000, 6000 and 7500 gold respectively. That already covers a pretty good range. The next best short range weapon would be the Blaster Cannon at 11000 gold. But since its damage is already pretty high, it won't get affected that much anymore. This is also true for every weapon after that. They all deal so much damage, that the Deflective Armor only has a minor influence anymore.
So my question would be, what kind of weapon (in which price and range class) do you think is missing?
