Does dual lightsabre really make u immune to lightning?

[ArcaneLegend]

25% absorb + 25% absorb = 50% absorb = 0% resulting life loss.
i did try that a couple of times with my barb against a lightning trapper. for some strange reason i did take a considerable amount of dmg after a few hits. can anyone confirm for me that dual lightsabre immunity works plz?

o yea btw...i did take account of the fact that absorb goes b4 dmg and therefore if ur at max life u will end up taking some dmg after the life gain is added. but its how much dmg i took after i got shot that puzzled me.

I think that to absorb, you need to have 95% Resist before the % hits.

i have never heard of anything like that... where did u hear it?

 

[Kao]

I've tried it before (with the lightsabers, but not 95 Resist).

 

[WildfireFX]

absorb does not mean you are immune.

 

[ZConnor]

It's the resistance that'll help the most. Absorb subtracts the % from the attack.

Absorb with 75 resist or higher is the way to go.

with absorb you do receive the dmg, but due you absorb it, It turns back into life or something. so If you have dual lightsber, an I lighting attack you. If my dmg Is high enough. I could kill you.

btw join a open bnet pk game, an you know what I mean =)

Yea u can nvr be completely immune.

 

[Plumpamania]

Actually I've done it.

My Hammerdin put on Silence/Wisp/TGods/Blackhorns and resist aura. I had 95% light resist on hell mode and ate up everything that whore gave me. FoHer was a little harder. Had to take off my GAngel for Duriels Shell to cancel out his aura.

yes you do need 95 reisits to absorb anything pretty much. My pally has tgods, lightsaber, blackthorns, g-angle and he get HEALED from lighting attacks... its sooooo funny dueling those damn trapsins.... i own them everytime

 

[diesoft747]

Yeah untill my asn hits him with lower resist, unless you have extra lit resist in that case i guess im screwed.

 

[ArcaneLegend]

no u dont need 95 resist to make absorb work. i get 85 resist when wearing tgods and i noticed healing from certain lightning attacks.

im talking specifically about dual wielding lightsabres. i need to know if theres a cap for %absorb, cuz that seems to be the case.

 

[diesoft747]

Yeah but without 95% resists you will still die fast in pvp, no matter how much absorb you have.
Just yesterday i had 85% lit resist and 60% absorb on my druid and he still took pretty good dmg from lit sentry. Then I put on Guardian Angel to get 95% resist and then I could just stand there and take lightning sentry all day.

hmm.. i was healing a pally with 1 wisp projector, G angel, tgod and ls with my trapsin... he n i pwned!

 

[battle plans]

sorry for the off topic but N_LeGeNd) may i ask whats underground gaming(your sig) about i went there and i dont see how its underground

 

[Cert]

i think there probaly is a cap to absorb... maybe 40% or something... and with 95% res and shit and absorb u would be taking like 1% of the original damage, and for any lightening attack, thats pretty pathetic
