maybe the monster had "PIERCING" on his wep? .-)

well, so what is for what? before instashield pu was available reflections worked for "any <beam>-weapons" as far i know like ("green") laser, wand and turbo.
now we need instashield for wands AND reflections for the others or does reflections still work for all (except when its not workin, like scion recogniced and mayn others too.... :-( ) but beeing killable after 2 or 3
or 4 or 5 hits instead of beeing instakilled?
i sometimes have luck to have both, 2 insta and 1-3 reflects, but still get killed by turbolasers, so, looks like stackin both doesnt really work or monsters can do more ("piercing"?) damage or whatever...
if we need more and more shields for this and that, we need 50-100-slots-weapons....

1 retention
7 reflections (scion..)
2 insta
2 rock
2 titan
1 vortex
2 redeem
1 prot5
2 inf
1 vorp
3 health
1 dam5
5 singledam
1 e5
5 single e´s
1 retal5
5 single retals
6 pullforwards (myself :-) )
1 superforce/force5
1 piercing
1 penetrating
1 speed5/ss
2 weaponspecific pus (blast/flare/spreads)
1 invisible
1 superjump/fly
1 award
5 rages
1 vamp
63 slots..... and still be killed...

Some monsters have piercing in it, but from my experience reflection is hella useful even against a wand...

yes, reflections do work with wands as well as lazer rifles and turbo lazers. the other day caddy handed out rocket launchers +10 extra slots and i was able to get 5 reflections. since the map was warpit, getting instagib shield pus seemed impossible and i had none for the whole map. anyways, wands were plenty on wave 18 and with protection 5 and the reflections, the effect was pretty much like one instagib shield pu put on when i was hit by wand beam.

amy, even if someone has on every protective pu possible, it won't make you invulnerable. instagib shield pus work 100% of the time, 2 titan rock shield pus work 80% of the time from death, and i died with vortex shield pu...but only because it went off right over me. i wore it the other day and i was able to escape vortex pull with no speed pus on. redeemer shields pus work only on regular redeemers, not the bluish heat redeemers you see...those may be redeemers, but its effect is different. joey said this is an exception to the redeemer shield pu.

if protection could be made +10 like damage can be +10, then i can start seeing godliness close to being attainable...but that would really make the game less challenging, especially now that i use vampirism level 10 and i heal nearly instantly with most vampable enemies except the real weak (low hp) ones.

oh amy, I must seem like a selfish beast to you!!!
I've given many pu/chest key cominations to people and asked nothing in return.(and not because I have every pu I need.)
Next, 75% of the time I get RL's +2. So My core pu's are:

2 infs,
1 p5
5 single damages
1 d5
1 superforce
1-2 weapon pu

and maybe 1 Heal.

and that's pretty much all I that fits. So I pretty much avoid getting pu's once I get those.

I don't care about reflections, instagib shields are nice though, rages are nice but ehhh, vorpal is a perk, and I use no deemer shields, and I only use 1 heal. e5, only if I have an artifact.


Finally, you realize i get most of my powerups in the last few waves? Usually when a hoarder Dies do I get my choice weapon pu or some nice shields.

It's not my fault I kill alot of things and get some decent pu's!! wel it kinda of is, but it's not my fault I like to try very hard to do it! without stealing too!!

Yah i agree blast cannon is way more stronger in killing soldiers and all that then razor,razor takes more hits blast cannon takes about 3 or 4 or 5.razor takes 8 hits and i always have to kill it with alt fire.
