The ability to get past boss monsters' damage reflection is only available to certain classes. Things like Wraith of Souls, piercing spells <element>, etc.
What I think would spread this ability to every class would be to have a fairly affordable potion and/or scroll that would give a buff to the player that would get past reflection. This would allow people to get past boss fights, if they happen to be carrying one of those with them.

Hm… A nice idea, but wouldn’t that be a bit too easy?
Currently, bosses and elites can be a tough nut to crack. One of the first things that a new player must learn is to know when to fight and when to flee. This is great IMHO – I love strategic decisions.
The other thing is that with returning bosses and elites, the multi-class system becomes a necessity! You must carefully choose your classes in order to get certain special abilities (like Accurate Strike, Magic Missile, Aura of Life…).
With the proposed scroll/potion, however, bosses and elites would simply lose their fame and flavor. You could stick to just one class, and still be able to blast everything to bits… I think that the entire game would lose some of its charm, too.
Just my 2 cents.
Have fun!

Reflection and immunities of bosses are what makes them hard to kill. If bosses were just normal monsters with more hp, they wouldn't be fun.
Some abilities do bypass returning/immunities, but that's what makes these abilities special! If a scroll of piercing was in the game(especially a "fairly abordable" one), some abilities such as Piercing Spells would become entirely useless. The rare Retrograde spell would also become worthless.
So... no, I probably won't implement this scroll.
