I have question about zerphi's last breath.
This flask gain 800% of manacost with life.
Is this affect by flask effect node?

Yes.

Increased flask effects always increase the numerical effect of the flask effect.

Flask Effects include the primary over-time effect of drinking a flask, and any "while flask in effect" bonuses from flask mods.

Does projectile weakness directly affect the poison damage caused by projectile attacks, or does it only affect the initial hit?

Hi,

1. Can Essence drain be reflected in any way?
2. If yes is the reflected dmg the same type as the initial dmg (if i only do chaos dmg will the reflected dmg be only chaos dmg as well)?

About flasks,
I don't know if i'm missing something, but, my character: MaawkAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is current bugged someway whenever i use my flask ''Avenger's Eternal Life Flask of Heat'', it says: Immunity to freeze and Remove freeze efects, that's not working with my char, both the buff icons and the Freeze removal, that is screwing me up doing end game maps, opening strongboxes, etc.

Anyone might able to help me?

1: No
2: If you wand/dagger/sceptre has the mods "add x-x '''elemental'' damage to spells', this is the damage that will reflected back to you

The Brass Dome has the unique mod "Take no Extra Damage from Critical Strikes" Does that include player attacks that are reflected back?

It makes no difference. Reflect damage is calculated after all the relevant multipliers are factored in (i.e. it's based on damage actually dealt), and reflect damage is generally not scaled outgoing, so they can't critically strike in the first place. Thus, there is no extra damage from critical strikes to reduce, unless you mean the original critical strike, which the receiving-damage calculation has no access to.

I'm too lazy to look up the relevant dev posts at the moment, but it might be a fun challenge if you're still skeptical.
