How Damage Absorption Works
« on: July 09, 2005, 10:52:12 PM »
Here is the current situation regarding how Damage Absorption works in Guild Wars. Apparently this has changed in patches before so it may change again.

Right now it looks like 1 piece of armor, 1 rune and a shield with Damage Absorption will stack. Getting multiple pieces of armor or multiple runes with Damage Absorption won't do anything.

Read about it here.

Does Absorbtion Runes stack with that reduction already put onto armor?

Yup, so if you have 1 (minor/major/superior) absorption rune, 1 piece (Ascalon/Knights) armor and a shield with damage reduction they will all stack.

So a lot of hammer Warriors are using 1 damage absorption rune, 1 piece of knight's (or Ascalon) armor, Stonefist Gauntlets (lengthens Knockdown duration), Dwarven Helm (+1 hammer mastery) and Gladiator's armor for the rest.
