Anonymous"Recommend For: Tank"?
Should be changed to Recommend For: NO ONE.
As it is, it's garbage in PvP and PvE;
- PvE because of the disparity between health bars. Average tank? 50K health. Average dungeon mob? 50K-400K. Average boss ~6Mill health. Any boss/mob attack attack with high enough base damage to make 10% reflection meaningful, will delete any tank from existence... and even if it didn't, the hard cap makes that useless anyway.
- PvP it likely quadruple dips in Battle Spirit and damage reduction - Lets assume 5,000 damage tooltip. That's 2500 after Battle Spirit and Probably about 1600 after average mitigation (~33%). Now the damage is "returned" to the attacker... 10% would be 160 damage. Already that's absolutely absurdly low even before calculating Battle spirit and mitigation again which would get you likely somewhere in the realm of 50 damage. From a 5,000 damage tooltip attack.
5,000 damage tooltip. ~50-160 damage returned. Are you kidding me?
This set needs to either return a significantly higher percentage of damage taken, or it needs to return a small percentage of damage taken before mitigation. Until then, it will be one of the worst sets in the entire game.

As in it caps at 4250, or it'll stop returning damage once it reaches 4250?
Seems like a stupid question, but most people don't survive a sudden hit resulting in 42K+ damage to begin with.
So, yeah, anyone test this?
This set *could* be useful if :
- Other sets could trigger from its returned damage
AND (absolutely not "OR")
- Damage on damage shields would count as damage taken
