Damage reflection is a game mechanic that makes an attacker (e.g. character, monster, trap, etc.) hit himself. Usually it appears as a modifier that causes a damage dealt to a target to also be taken by an attacker; but this mechanic is also being used in other places. Reflect cares about the damage taken after mitigation, not the amount of life removed.[2] The offensive stats of a creature can affect whether it takes reflected damage (accuracy, block chance reduction, etc.), but cannot affect the amount of damage dealt (critical strikes, penetration, ignoring resistance, damage modifiers, etc). Although reflected damage hits, it intentionally doesn't trigger most on/when hit effects[4] and, accordingly, cannot cause status ailments[5], stun[6], critical strikes and other similar effects that require a hit. Like any other damage, reflected damage has one of damage sources, or, to be more precise, one of three sources – attack, spell or secondary. Damage over time doesn't hit and, therefore, can't be reflected.

A source of reflected damage is always the same as a source of damage dealt to a target, e.g. if a creature hits with a spell, the reflected damage is a spell damage. Leech is processed before reflect damage.[9] Therefore the order of operations is: Reflected damage dealt to melee attackers: Reflected damage dealt on block: Rare monsters can have a prefix that gives the monster damage reflection, there is one prefix that reflects physical damage and another that reflects elemental damage. Some map modifiers give all monsters in that map a damage reflection, either physical or elemental.

Long-range attacks and spells can also be dangerous, as stray arrows and spells might hit a reflecting rare monster, causing a large amount of damage to the player. Even monsters that are much lower level than the player and would normally pose no threat can prove deadly if affected by reflection, since the reflection is based on the player's damage output, not the monster's damage. Reflection can sometimes be difficult to spot, especially in the heat of battle when the monster ability can be obscured by various skill effects. ↑ Mark_GGG (August 6, 2013).
