Armour Mastery + Scold's bridle

So the new armour mastery give you
"Reflect 500% of physical damage prevented", how does it work with self-hit like Scold's bridle?

And how will it interact with ranged ennemies? Will they be inflicted intantly, like the old reflect damage?

I'm quite tempted to work a Molten Shell explosive monster, but I want to be sure before investing time on it

"Reflect 500% of physical damage prevented" Has already been replaced by "100% Additional armor from shield"

I was wondering why I couldn't find it anymore in PoB
RIP idea, it was fun to theorycraft while it lasted :P

I think they removed that 500% reflect node to avoid getting full physical immunity.

Combine it with the Crown of the Pale King helm to instantly leech 30% of that damage and you would only need to have enough armor and other mitigation to prevent 40% of incoming physical damage to instantly recover the rest. Add in Thousand Teeth Temu shield and you lower that to 33%. If you can prevent more, you'd be healed. I was gonna league start that til I saw it was gone.

I think the better question was how would it interact with Crown of the Pale King.

The existence of this helmet limits any kind of reflect build development significantly.
