    Currently, many things can get through elf shield. We all know things like lightning from a mage can hit a shielded mage, but sometimes arrows can get through the shield. I assume this is because of the server lag. I suggest either to extend the reflect radius, or make elf immune to all projectiles while shielded instead of deleting projectiles that are near elf when shielding.

    Elf reflecting for headshots is very bugged. I can't seem to find a pattern but headshots will just plain not work. I've been in cases where I reflected from easily 50 blocks away (mid to spawn on skyworlds) and it does not headshot.

    Elf reflecting different types of projectiles often doesn't work. Some examples are:
    -Earth reflects and does nothing to reflected target
    -Wind reflects and does nothing to reflected target
    -Pure reflects do not count to your true damage shot
    -All your teams projectiles are reflected, idk if this is considered a bug but whatever

    This isn't a bug, but I didn't feel like making a separate topic. I believe all hits on a target (When you hear mc play "ding" for player hit) should count to pure true damage shot. This includes the first hit of pure to start, or if pure true damage is already ready, than the 6 hearts true damage. This makes reflect useful for more than a utility when you don't want to get hs, into more of an offensive tool.

    I believe that's due to the fire aoe from the arrow still hitting you.

    Have you determined the headshot range for elf yet? I know it's longer than archer's by quite a bit, though I'm not sure how much.

    One thing i noticed that elf shouldn't be able to do. Reflecting projectiles that have a positive impact on the elf. I found out that i can easily abuse elves that spam reflector and i can bounce health/regen/buff pots back at me for a solid heal. Reflector should allow things that have positive effect to pass through. That's not a bug but i kinda wish elf had it..

    I don't really know about this, I was playing elf last night with a good friend of mine and I didn't run into any problems except when I would encounter a Pyro. Pyro's after they fire their arrow and after hitting their target, release an explosion (if i'm correct) that if anyone is affected by it, gets lit on fire. If you were to shot an Elf directly, the arrow would get reflected back to the Pyro. But if the Pyro shoots to the floor or anywhere near the elf. The elf gets lit on fire. My experience with elf has not been to disappointing, but I do run into problems here and there.

    Asked a mod about this quite awhile ago, it should be the same as archer.


    This may or may not be why I suggested to increase the aoe of elf shield, but either way it wouldn't help up close as the shield is just 1 wall, not solid sphere of reflect

    It's the exact same. I already do some trickery to try and catch all projectiles but I'll take a look again.

    o o o !

    if an elf shoots some of that earth element at a dwarf (you get slowness 4 I think??) it overwrites the slowness 2 obviously, but the slowness 4 only stays for like 2(?) seconds, as soon as those 2 seconds are over the slowness is removed and dwarf has no slowness \o/

    it takes about a minute before it gets its original slowness 2 back
    this also happened with cake (dunno if that is fixed though)
