It's definitely worth building some deflect in if you can get up to 50% deflect severity. Especially with the amount of mobs we've been getting with some bosses in the latest content. I wouldn't sacrifice any awareness/crit avoidance/defence for it though. The problem with a full deflect build (where you sacrifice the other defensive stats to ensure max deflect and deflect severity) is that some damage cannot be deflected (like the tank buster from the boss in Moondancer). You're awareness stat is 100% effective 100% of the time against Combat Advantage damage and all bosses always have Combat Advantage on you. Critical Avoidance is 100% Effective against Critical Severity 50% of the time. Each 1% Defense gives something like 0.47% Damage Resistance. Deflect is only as effective as your Deflect Severity and even then sometimes it's not effective at all. So it's a nice to have in my opinion but the other stats take priority. They messed up deflect when they did the combat rework and split it into two stats to be honest 🤔
Nice video as always cheers
