I've heard a rumor...

[Tyl2aeL]

I heard from someone that both Archon Plates and Mage Plates have a non-visible 1% absorb mod on them, and also that Sacred Armors have a 5% non-visible absorb mod. (Of all elements)

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Please have proof...don't just say yes or no...


Thankz.

Yes the Sacred Armor does have a 5% invisible mod, i dont remember where i read it though. But it's actually 5% Damage reduce, not absorb

I dont know about the archon/mage though

[trayne]

yes. it shows in editors and the mpq build filing under armor.bin but its not damage reduce. its absorb. not sure why blizzard built it that way but it is listed in their build under absorb. just not sure what absorb type it is since it doesnt say. just says absorbs #

[FrogMan]

yea this is not true... yet could be hard to disprove

[Metalhead Steve]

Well if it was seen in editor then I'm sure it's true.

Ok well, for those of you who can't read, I said:

You probably wouldn't notice only a 1% absorb of anything...as small as it would be 95% of the time...

you're friend was wrong, smack him in the face, then shoot him so the rumor stops.

Who said I heard this from a friend...? (Just for the record, I didn't)

yes. it shows in editors and the mpq build filing under armor.bin but its not damage reduce. its absorb. not sure why blizzard built it that way but it is listed in their build under absorb. just not sure what absorb type it is since it doesnt say. just says absorbs #

This is actually where I realized this at.

Thankz.

Well it might just be that the editor is set-up to have that on the armour, though it would sound like something Blizzard would do. If you think about it, sacred armour should have a little more of something other than high def and str req, since it is the most elite armour out there. Also, the archon and mage plates seem like a caster-type armour, hence the names mage and archon, so maybe they do come like that, though I kind of doubt it would actually add the sorb. If it does, it's not like it makes much of a difference.
