Absorb?

[tremendazo]

can somebody that knows explain to me how does absorbs works? for an example, if i have 100% fire absorb and am hit with a 3k fb how much is the fire damage reduce?

Basically, if you have 95 Resist in any element and then a # or % Absorb, you will take less (or no) damage from the attack. Pretty simple.

Ja.. But if a fireball is at 13k then even though you have 95 resist you'll still take like 2k fire damage.. =/ pretty crappy eh? lol

well...ud have to include the 1/6 pvp penalty when ur dealing with 13k fireballs. ud be taking about 108 dmg.
