Does this feat do ANYTHING?? I have had it since level 1, am now level 13, and it seems 100% useless. At lower levels, I had comparatively high AC, and they missed me anyway. At current level, I have NO AC to speak of, and get pelted continuously. Don't know if I'm missing something or what - but seems absolutely useless.

It just doesn't deflect enough to matter compared to how fast the arrows are coming at you.

a monks AC should be high for their level from start to finish. deflect arrows is useless and not even worth considering. even with a low AC its simply not even close to worth a feat to occasionally deflect arrows. they can be easily dodged anyway. the low AC thing on the other hand seems like a serious problem.

dont think so
level 8 monk, fair a/c and im still getting hit by skellies in SC...but it should be said everyone else was dead so all eyes were on the monk....will be switching it out one of these days. Its nice to think it works but would have to agree on uselessness.

It blocks about 1 every 3 arrows.
On my monk Fighter, it helps, but you're still going to get hit.

I tested this feat in PVP and didn't see it help at all. I don't think the feat does anything.

Look for the light blue star burst when you're hit by arrows in PvE. Originally Posted by Capn

Thanks for the info - one of these days I'll have to pop in the arena and test it before I "for sure" trade it out. Originally Posted by hu-flung-pu

Just run stromvaulds mine and test it out.
Those drow archers tend to hurt after a while.

My friend says that the slow archers (gnolls and skeltons) in the desert barely hit him... AC or deflect, or the mix?
