Deflect Missiles

Deflect Missiles, one of the Ancient Curses, protects against damage from Ranged attacks and can deflect some of the damage back onto the attacker.

The deflection curses are a primary reason for players to switch from the normal prayer set to the curses, as they have the same drain rate as the protection prayers from the regular book and can deal additional damage back.

Note that as with all Deflect prayers, the Ferocious Ring does not add damage you reflect back onto the enemy.

Deflect prayers will grant you full protection against NPC attacks and 40% from player attacks.

The damage reflected is dependent on how much the attack would have done prior to be being blocked by the prayer:

(or about 10% of the damage taken)

Trivia

 * This prayer is favoured by higher levels in any situation, including Bounty Hunter and PvP Worlds because of the rebound it can inflict on the opponent while draining prayer points at the same rate.
 * Oddly this curse uses the Fletching icon instead of the ranging one. This could be due to the fact it "deflects" the arrows back at the opponent and Fletching icon shows arrows going both ways
