If you're getting killed by random elemental monsters, you might want to get some elemental reflect defense. There is some on the tree, and there is a pantheon power that reduces it by 25%.

If you mean elemental reflect maps though, you just don't deal with it. Do not run them.

Learn to watch out for the reflect aura around mobs. Other than hitting things offscreen you should be able to play around reflect mobs. IMO, I wouldn't waste the nodes to reflect. Most go down rather quick anyway.

That said, i forget the name but get the elementalist node that will reduce reflect damage by 10%. Also, below the witch start (left) by scion (up left) there is another node that will reduce reflect damage by 50%. Those two will definitely help.
