Question about the Defend Ability

[the_ideal]

If I have chance to deflect set to 0, does that mean my defend will do nothing? Basically, what I want the spell to do is this: you activate it, and you only take 50% of piercing damage, but there's no % chance to do anything else.

Is setting Data - Chance to Deflect to 0 what I want to do?

Thanks.

Are there two fields? One that talks about the amount of piercing damage you take and the other one about how much damage you reflect?

If not then I think you set the reflection thing to 50%

I attached the fields. Is there a way I can make it so that 50% of ALL damage is reflected?

Thanks.

Well if damage taken is 50% then it should deflect 50% of all damage

You can safely set Chance to Deflect to zero, and as long as you specifiy the damage taken field, it will work correctly.

Also, usually deflections are disabled by default anyway. If you want to enable it, you have to go to Gameplay Constants: Gameplay: Defend Can Deflect.
