DR is already a bad mechanic during boss fights, but now I keep dying to regular mobs I'm much more than capable of defeating. Not only do they slow the pace of mobing, they're just an instakill if you're not paying attention.

    What is your job, level, and max HP? DR damage from Elite Mobs is equal to the square of the monster's level divided by 7.5, which depending on your job and max HP, is either a mere slap on the wrist or can hit like a truck. Jobs with Hurricane-type skills that can trigger DR would have to be extra careful against Reflective Elites.

    Is that really how it's calculated? I usually tread very carefully whenever those darn things appear lol, but if it does barely any damage...

    Then again, the DR extends to every mob that sets foot into that glowy pool thing, so if you hit eight mobs with your mobbing skill, that damage could certainly add up... Like, one or two good hits with your mobbing skill against a crowd with DR would probably kill you lol. Unless DR can only activate once per skill use/hit?

    DR only activates once per skill use, no matter if it hits 1 mob or 6 mobs.
