does the Absorb shield include your resist rating?
Hello,
Before I run a few tests myself,
I Have been playing W101 for about a year now. I just started to use absorb shields, on my low level myth wizard. I have the Bronze Golem Pet.
My question is, If I put up an absorb shield and I get attacked, does my resist count towards the damage that the shield absorbs? If anyone knows please share.
Re: does the Absorb shield include your resist rating?
if you mean that you have as a example
resistance 5%
absorb 400
damage: seraph 395
then with the resistance you alredy have, then the damage is lowerd, and the shield receives less damage.
400 - 395= 5 but with resistance: 395 - 5= 390 aprox 400 - 390= 10.
but thats just a example, shields, traps and blades also chip in, wich make more diferent resistances and damage. wich also make diferent comninations to try and break ( and sometime succed ) the absorbs you have, but if you pile up the absorbs, then that makes even MORE combinations of attack and resistance, plus the efects during the usage off the third triangle of magic () then it can be very, very complicated, there are even more factors, but i think i should just stop typing
but if you werent talking about that, then i have no idea

A lot of incorrectness in that post... No. Damage affects wards in the opposite order of casting (first in, last out). A damage spell will hit the absorb and do damage to it before hitting you and factoring in your resist. Lifedude, resist is percentage based, not integer based, so 5% life resist against a seraph would be closer to -80 damage.

ooooooo that makes sence, but i was saying the same thing in relation to blades, i alredy now that the attack hit the absorb FIRST not the player if it has a blade or not, but i didint know that the resist triggers if the absorb breakes X Sudden mind blow X thx for correcting me, and for clarifing the whole what does the resist actualy take, thank you! and i guess you just answerd the question :P
Re: does the Absorb shield include your resist rating?
Ok..... how do I explain this?
Say you're fighting a boss and you're both storm
You use a Leviathon that does 1,000 damage exactly
The boss resists 70%
He also has an absorb that he just used the previous round, and still has 400 damage left on it
When you use the Leviathon, it will resist 70%, so the Leviathon will only do 300 damage. You use up 300 of the damage on the absorb, and it still has 100 left
