You know what happens when your Reflexes turn to Iron?

Id rather prefer if Iron Reflexes was more like 25% increased evasion rating, 5% higher chance to evade cap.

In Dungeons and Dragons, a feat of the same name boosts you reflex saves by +2.

1) digging an old grave, I know it.
2) English language, well, "Iron Reflexes". Slow as iron, "dont' move" is correct.
3) Tried Iron Reflexes with my ranger. It is aweful, likely after the nerf. Every hit was landing.
4) Armor also needs work. I was nearly taking as much damage naked then with a 1200 rating armor. WTF. Better run around naked to attract men.
My wife stole 10 levels from me, and my job stole another 2. That is why I am still level 88.



Of course every hit lands with IR.

1200 armor is seriously nothing. With a granite you can easily have 20K armor in late cruel. Some people get as high as 60K or more.

IR is GREAT, but only if the rest of your build is spec'd for it.

Awww this thread brings back fond memories of a community that used to be. So many great posters who are no longer around...
Step 1. Remove Iron Reflexes from the game.

Step 2. Replace it with this keystone:
Predatory Reflexes
Converts all Evasion Rating to Accuracy Rating.

The node would need to be moved. Accuracy has a cap (95%) that is extremely easy to hit on a dex based build.

False. You need about 5000 Accuracy Rating to hit the 95% cap for endgame play (and that's against an average monster, not a particularly evasive one). Predatory Reflexes would be one of the very few ways of hitting the cap without huge passive commitment.

Let's see if I've anything else to update...

Nope, still fucking hate this keystone with every bone in my body, even the ones that usually make friends with everyone and are all like 'fuck, man, relax, it's all good'. Even they're brittle with rage and want to shove their non-existent fists through Iron Reflexes' equally non-existent face.

The interplay between IR, Grace and Determination is ridiculous, but that's pushing more into another area of contention, being the domination of stacking auras, so I'll leave it at that.

Fuck you, Iron Reflexes. Fuck your stupid name, fuck your uninspired, broken ability. Fuck your everything.

WITH ALL THE BONES.

+1.

Let's see what I said in this thread last year:

"When I want to max my armor, I wear evasion gear" is the most terrible game balance decision and will remain so until IR gets the nerf or the boot. It's counter-intuitive at best and the keystone itself is completely flavorless. The sooner it gets removed the sooner we can test actual fixes to dexterity/evasion.
The only thing that isn't still true is that GGG has managed to make a few worse balance decisions than IR, so it's no longer the worst offender.

Epic Necro.

Please note that IR did get a semi-nerf since I wrote this, in the form of dexterity no longer giving evasion bonuses.

Compare to the combination of ZO + GR + VP, it makes IR look like a saint.

If this is aiming for AR/EV builds, they might as well just go RT to save the trouble. No point of having a crit build unless you have power charges involved in the mix. I would never touch this suggested keystone if I was pure EV or EV/ES. I might as well miss once in a while.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

Its a little off-topic, but no, or at least it is too much general statement.

I don't like charges mechanism and I avoid to use it if only I can, but still on my crit dagger shadow I have ~34% CHC without power charges and could go for more but considering, that he's evasion character and considering reflect, it's already too much.
Anticipation slowly dissipates...
