New Ability: Deflect

Cast Ability. While active deflects any ranged projectile ("blocking" its damage). Short duration like Stonefall.

Specializations:
1: Reflect: Reflects the projectile back onto the attacker, dealing a percentage of the players attack damage to the attacker. Longer Cooldown and higher mana cost than base Deflect.

2: Absorb: Absorbs the projectile instead (Heals the player for a percentage of their maximum health). Longer Cooldown and higher mana cost than base Deflect.

I feel like the absorb restoring health could be a bit OP. Also overlaps with life leach so could end up making that redundant

#

Could instead store up the damage and add it onto the next melee attack (almost like the black panther suit if you've seen those films)

I’m pretty sure that’s already a thing

Definitely could be (I haven't really looked at most of the abilities outside the core set I play with)
