Detonate dead vaal reflect and u DEAD

according to the description of the skill, it cannot be reflected, however, it is reflected on maps reflecting natural damage, the question is why is this a bug or what does it mean it CANNOT BE REFLECTED?
there is a screenshot, but I can't upload it to this forum

Do you mean Detonate Dead? Detonate Dead deals damage in two separate hits: the spell damage dealt around the corpse (can be reflected), and the secondary damage dealt by the corpse explosion (cannot be reflected).
I think these descriptions for explosions not reflecting are misleading and should be updated. Same thing in another thread talking about Infernal cry, with the wording only applying to the explosion portion. I think perhaps it would be better for explosion damage to just by default not reflect, and not need to be stated on the gems. Perhaps there is a reason it needs to be like that, but it seems to cause unnecessary confusion on gems that have some portion reflecting and other portions not reflecting.

AGREE 100% if Seaman had not clarified that there is a second explosion that is reflected, I would never have understood why I am dying from reflection

Targets a corpse, and deals spell damage to enemies around the corpse, as well as causing the corpse to explode, dealing fire damage. The explosion is not affected by modifiers to spell damage and cannot be reflected.

Deals 871 to 1306 Fire Damage
Explosion deals base Fire Damage equal to 8% of the corpse's Maximum Life
Base radius is 2.6 metres
Yep, it make sense, but it is confusing for people, I think they can do it better. In particular, infernal cry has a mod on the gem "Damage cannot be Reflected", but combust, which is also on the gem does reflect. Understand it is a separate part of the skill gem, but I think it might be better to just have explosion damage not reflect by default, and it not need to be stated. Perhaps there are other explosions that do reflect, I'm not sure about that, I just think it's not the best having some parts of a skill gem reflect and other parts not reflect.
