Absorbing

[karmine]

i have a Q about absorb. First of all whats the breaking point of absorb. And second what are the belts, rings/ammys and maybe even helms to absorb with for barbs for each type of elettack. since im BVB mainly i go into "WW Duels" and "Barb only duels" and the like and always get these punk kids who bring sorcs and trapsins all the time and are very BM.....you know who you are....

anyway, sometimes a tgods is enough to take a light trapper some times it isnt.

also....theres the hammergays. too many times i see them come in after getting all their other chars raped by the barbs and you just CANT block hammers. i think thats the most retarded thing ever, but there has to be a way.

im not sure about the breakpoint of absorb but there is like dmg reduced and resis , 75 i think it all depends on the dmg of the traps,and spells, if they do less then a certain amount of dmg then you gain that much hp if they do more then your sorb then thae amount of extra dmg they do to you is done.. not much to know about sorbing

some good abosrb rings are
ravenfrost = cold
wisp = lit
dwarf = fire

just look on battle.net/diablo2exp
under unique rings...

First of all ! breakpoint for damage reduce is 50% since 1.00 as far as i remember and its even posted on arreat summit

Second of all ! resist is a "nv" stat = not visible aka no breakpoint = u can have stacked resist yes and it works well and no you cant have over 95 so its kinda a breakpoint but you can easily stack 100-200 lightning resist without having to remove all your equipment for stacking.

last of all : Absorbs doesnt have any breakpoints ( tested myself with bugged annis 95% all absorb on singleplayer ) = the more the better, same goes for attack rating and mf and so on and so on = so gl&hf about getting alot of absorb, but keep in mind its damn better to have Raven 250/20 than to have 20/20 wisp even if you face a Trapper with hireling cause you wont need stacked absorb against most traps unless their pures

Edit : saw ur post and theres a way to beat hammers = enigma baba with lvl 50 bo^^
more bo = more life = less chance to die when u ww thru pala with alot of FHR =).

WW through hdin=Noob

Max for sorb is 50 is im not wrong.

And for BvB...If u really only want to play against barbs....Play private Pk.

just bcos u see say a sorc, dont sacrifice good gear just for some absorb..frosts are all right, since they have loads of ar for a barb, dwarfs have fire, but dont overdo it. just bcos u see a fire sorc dont chuck on 2x dwarfs and hellmouth and rising sun etc etc. but if u must, use rising sun ammy (fire) hellmouth (fire) frost dwarf wisp (cold fire light) tgods (light), and possibly others which ive forgotten

[Silver Ice]

if u wanna kill hdins.. wait for them to tele right below u then make sure u have enough dmg to take them out in 1 hit and ww.

as for absorb.. no breakpoints

try getting a lot of life and maybe 1-2 absorb items.

barb vs hdin =ez...if hdin is gm then good

Hdin doing hammer field standing in the middle=Eziest
