New absorbtion cap in 1.10?

[Crystalion]

The exact PvP penalty is actually 17% which is slightly more than 1/6 :) Note that now (no idea about beta), the PvP penalty is applied BEFORE -damage/-magicdamage, resistance and absorbtion and other such modifiers. Basically done first instead of last as it was before.

IIRC in beta they had already moved it, since accidentally while doing testing I was unable to damage a character PvP while I had forgotten to remove their -damages items. I recall thinking at the time that this wasn't a good change, as it would ruin PvP on realm (surprisingly I have yet to hear that this is the case, but it seems clear to me that damage reduction, absorption and resists should potentially make it nearly impossible for another player to harm you significantly).
