How come Reflective scales reflects snipe but defensive stance doesnt?

when getting hit by snipe/lethal shot/focused aim it bounces of scales, and hits the caster/attacker. however when using defensive posture/stance it does not. is this intended?

✭Yes Scales says reflects projectiles so both physical and magical whereas defensive posture says magical attacks. Is it fair that only one class can reflect both with one skill is another question.PUG Life - the true test of your skill

✭Reflective Scales isn't anywhere near where it used to be, suggesting that one class has a skill that reflects both is fine and all, but not to mention the nerf it's already had is something else.
Plus, don't all classes have specific class only skills. NB's can vanish into thin air, Sorc's can bolt (actually, sorcs can do anything right now) and Templars... Poor old Templars are the red headed step child at them moment, but they did have radiant destruction that was an opener AND a closer and would stay on you even through walls.
Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

I wasn't suggesting I was stating that they do have a skill that reflects both which is what the OP wanted to know. Has the skill had a nerf, yes. Did it need a nerf, yes. Is it still a great skill to use in PvP, definitely.
I personally would take even the nerfed version of reflect over NBs cloak and Sorc's bolt any day.PUG Life - the true test of your skill

If you're asking why that ability specifically doesn't? Because the tooltip says only magical attacks
If you're asking why don't they change the ability so it does? Because its bloody 30 seconds in duration.

This is correct , defensive posture only reflects spell projectiles but can be kept up for 30 seconds and is nice to use with the stun morph , uses stamina and reduces the cost of blocking by I think 8% while slotted.
Keep in mind scales has to be recast after four hits or four seconds which ever comes first so it does require a bit of magicka to spam but works with physical projectiles as well as spells.

Sorcs can reflect snipes, channel executions, vanish over and over again? Or were your just being another hyperbole extremist?v14 Sorc Vae Exillis
