Resist Physical Damage vs Reflect Physical Damage

[Antony]

So here I am laying out an "imbuing plan" .... got a question ....

If you had "Reflect Physical Damage" @ 100 would you need any "Resist Physical" ... it seems that if Reflect Physical Damage @ 100 would indeed always reflect 100% of any physical damage back onto the attacker that would be a much better alternative to "Resist Physical".

if you have 100% reflect, the mobs/players that attack you get as payback the same PHISICAL (only) damage, but you still get damage, i mean, this reflects but dont protect, so yes, you need!

If another player, with a 50%phisical50%energy weapon, hits you, you get all the damage, and he receives half (the phisical part), before resis calc. Some people says its useful in pvp... i doubt. Maybe if everybody wears 100% phisical weapons and you got 120% reflect...
Not sure about damages order calcs, but pretty close to this.

And for pvm,
few mobs atacks with 100% phisical damage, but not saying no one, i think it worths nothing, 50 damage is something for you, but is nothing for any decent monster)

does that reflect damage form bows too?

I thought there is a cap on RPD.. but I looked it up and according to stratics the most you can have is 105%.. perhaps the reflected % is capped?

Hmm..
