I recently found a rising sun ammy and I am playing a lvl 76 enchantress who uses a glimmershred to deal her damage.
I was wondering if anyone could explain the mechanics behind the absorb.
I have max hell resists for fire and when equiped this ammy gives me 55 absorb, but it just doesnt seem to mathmaticaly click for me...
example:
I go and stand toe to toe with hell diablo and let him flame me.
I resist 75% of the damage and the remainder of this goes on to hurt me(normaly).
I absorb 55 points, which would seem to mean that 55 points of this damage doesnt hurt me but instead turns around and heals me for 55 points - a net total of 110 points dam avoided.
My question is: If this is the way it works, how much fire damage does hell diablo do?
It would seem to be a very small amount, but we know better than that - so what gives?
