Nerf Deflect, Thorns, and Electrified.

Simply put, deflect is unfair. Burst bowstring activates near deflect mobs, instantly killing you. Not the most fair mechanic. Deflect returns 100% of the damage you do-- multiply that by three because of burst bowstring, and if you are using a winter's touch-- multiply it by 9. This damage is usually enough to kill a player with potion barrier activated. Not balanced at all. Thorns is deflect except with all the broken parts about it gone. So by removing deflect, the game loses nothing.

Thorns is a much more forgiving enchant than deflect in my opinion, however, it still could be nerfed. It is much like deflect, but at least projectiles do damage to the mobs.

Electrified-- unlike the other two, does have some indicators, (The noise of electrified) therefore it is slightly less skewed. However, it is questionable whether that makes up for the damage electrified does. Electrified-- plain and simple, adds nothing to the game, makes apocalypse +25 miserable and should certainly be removed.

And actually-- what about levitation shot? I simply cannot stress how unbalanced the enchantment is.

Point is, Minecraft Dungeons needs some people to actually playtest the game, (In apoclypse +25 most importantly.) and the update after the tower better be called the "Bugs and Balance" update.

    Please do. There are so many "epic" daily trials that are simply unplayable in apocalypse+ 25 with or without banners. I spent 4 hours trying to beat "Pet count set to 2, 50% Husk, 50% Poison Cloud" and enchanted slimes were pretty much impossible to beat unless you bothered waiting for Potion Barrier every time you face against one. The damage received by any of these enchantments leaves apractically no reaction time, even with 256+ power gear. There are so many challenges that don't feel like they were play tested at all.

    I hate the deflect feature it is unfair and instant death. Not ideal reading the text that says the mob effects especially if they have four enchantments. They need to be a certain colour to quickly see like glowing Red to identify the danger better. At very minimum make the returning deflecting arrows slower so we can at least roll out the way.
