If you have crit helm, new patch will drop 6 crit chance helms.
mojo also will have possible better roll in 1.05 with 10 crit, damage is unchanged agaik.

As for reflect.. get better gear? The whole problem with this shit is, better gear you got, more it hurts.
If you rape yourself with war cry, 50% all resist bonus, i dont think getting few more pieces with all res will make any difference.. (if 50% bonus doesn't).
I tried adding some loh, and use acid cloud. Loh proc is huge, you don't lose hp to reflect while using it.
But there is one "little" problem. It takes forever to kill high hp pack using this skill.. compared to bears. You hit for 115% weapon damage  + dot, that doesn't stack. Bears hit for 700%+..
A lot depends on how many bears hit, it is same as with archon wizard. If beam goes through 1 elite with reflect, you don't lose hp thanks to life steal and loh, 2 elites? you start losing quite fast, and 3 elites, you instagib youself in 1 second. If you drop acid clouds, and then hit with bears, still instaowned, because ticks from cloud dot do heal, quite nicely, but bears dop your whole hp in 1 second if you hit right, It is just different scale of damage.
Same with bears, if there is pack of, let's say phasebeast, and you just cast bears that all hit reflect  = owned instantly ;/
And spirit walk is not enough, if you want cast bears for 2-3 seconds and wait rest for reset of cooldown, you could as well sit there and spam acid cloud, since you at least don't have to stop, damage would be similar, or even better than with bears. In both cases fight takes 10x longer than a non reflect pack.
And funny thing about it is, that with worse gear, less damage, when reflect wasnt a problem, there was no difference between reflect and non reflect in terms of killing speed.
Also tried rain of tods, even better loh, but it takes eternity to kill let's say 15m hp elite with it.
Voodoo with life regen?, with items regen at 5-6k/s, still nowhere near enough, just dead in 1s. If you die so quick to reflect, any form of slow regen, either if it is loh or life regen, doesn't solve the problem, because healing rate is much weaker than rate at which you are losing hp to reflect.
Any other ideas how to deal with reflect, without slowing your build >10x vs rest of elite fights?

it is full 12s vs elites at ptr, and then they get reduction afterwards which they lose gradually if they are not ccd again, but if you wait few seconds and then cast it, you can another full 12s

It works great vs ones with cc, they don't use it while charmed. For example a3 keywarden, charmed, sits for 12s and doesn't use his cold attacks at all. (not that 12s is long if you do it at mp10)
