Question: Spell reflect + Playing with Fire =?

[Xame]

Last I checked, spell reflect reflects base damage, not counting any talents. I'm not sure if it includes +dam that the mage was using.

For this reason, ice lance is particularly useful for eating reflect. It's instant and has low damage that pretty much relies on the target being frozen to do anything approaching decent damage.

It does take the mage's +dmg and can crit. Was careless in a BG and killed myself. The general rule is a warrior with a shield gets ice lanced if your moving or rank 1 frostbolt. You want to put him in combat so he doesn't get charge. If no reflect, check rage for <25 and then start nuking/sheep/slow. If rage >25, its a hard dance for the mage if you are fire/arcane. Stick to instant cast and remember AoE cannnot be reflected (rank 1 blizzard for the frost mages w/ talents).

I don't know about talents. I'll have to check the next time I screwup, if a crit will trigger ignite on me.
