Autoexerted Infernal Cry Ele Reflect

Noticed that despite the specification of damage can not be reflected - infernal cry while under autoexertion is causing reflected elemental damage.

Explosion damage cannot be reflected but Combust can be reflected.
The skill is autoexerted so should not give me the buff which would cause combust. Additionally, I am using brutality support so the combust damage based off of mainhand weapon should not be able to do elemental damage. Or so is my understanding
The buff is physical as extra fire from infernal cry, so that is irrelevant with Brutality and Autoexert.

The exert portion still works with autoexert and makes you attack with Combust that does a fire damage attack. That is not linked to your Brutality, so death by ele reflect.
I'm not certain this is correct. I have a build-maker friend running the same build, same skillset, maybe a slight difference in point allocation that uses infernal cry in the same manner, and also on a rage vortex build and does not see the same reflect issues. PoB also shows 0 elemental damage for all damage sources.
Combust is an attack skill that is triggered by attacks exerted by Infernal Cry and has "60% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage". It is not linked to your main skill, so it does not have Brutality support.

Brutality support only affects linked skills (Earthshatter in your case), not all weapon attacks.

Yes, for your main skill. Now select the drop-down in PoB for Autoexertion -> Combust. I just took a blank PoB, put on Terminus, Flicker Strike + Brutality, and Autoexertion + Infernal Cry.

Disable Autoexertion and Brutality, set Warcry power to 20 -> Flicker Strike has fire damage
Enable Autoexertion -> Flicker Strike has no fire damage since no buff. But Combust never stops dealing fire damage in the calcs screen.
Put Brutality on Infernal Cry, then it stops dealing fire damage.

Without your friend, the build maker's, build, there could be a number of things they are doing different. Reduced reflected Pantheon + passive/gear or Watcher's Eye, Starforge, not running ele reflect maps, linking Infernal Cry with Brutality, or not sure what else. But you should probably discuss with them to find the missing difference.
