Hard and soft caps on stats

They did include a soft cap on damage. It's called reflect. But people keep whining about it so they keep nerfing it.

That is because until recently there hasn't really been a way to deal with it except "do less damage"

Does "until recently" refer to the period before PoE had any sort of defensive system?

Because then that sentence would make sense.

How about evasion/block/dodge for attack based builds, spell block and dodge for spell, all sources of physical reduction for physical users, max elemental resist for ele users...I could go on and on, pretty much any and every defensive mechanic in the game can help you with reflect, like Boem said.

Max block\dodge is not something all builds or even most builds should strive to do.

Second, evasion will fail eventually to provide you the protection against reflect. The old ondars was decent at helping this, but meh now.


Getting spell dodge\block as a caster is NOT something all casters can do, matter of fact the only "real" spell builds that were popular with max block was incinerate because you didn't need to invest into crit and such.

Phys reflect is not what kills people that do phys damage, at least not like weapon damage users, you can easily die to ele reflect though on something like earthquake.

Max ele res is pretty much just flask usage, you can't expect everyone to use saffels.



Not to mention the obvious change\relocation of vaal pact to its current location. You'd have to be a fool to think reflect was something people could just "fix" without pigeon holing you into something.

Balancing in this game works like this right now:

Top players use a skill with a 6L item and beat every boss in a matter of seconds. GGG nerfs said skill and in the process casual players that used the skill alone or with 2 or 3 or so support gems got a build ruined.
Top players move to a newly released OP skill, same thing as above and where do we go from here?

Diablo 3 doesnt have caps. Rift (mmo) has hard and soft caps for things like crit power, block etc

It's almost as if the game is pigeon holding you into making choices that have consequences.
