What is the different between

Lightning Absorb 20%

and

+20 Lightning Absorb

?

Please don't say "you think".

Well, lightning absorb 20% will absorb 20% of a lightning attack. If you get hit with a 1000 damage lightning attack, this will cut it down to 800, which is 20% less.

+20 lightning absorb sucks really, since it will only absorb 20 lightning damage... With that same 1000 damage attack, you will hit with 980...

All in all, 20% aborb >> +20 absorb..

I love when im dueling fire sorces with my axe baba, i get all my absorb gear on and when they heal me they are like wtf u damn hacker!?!!? lmao i love it but yeah 2 raven frosts are pretty much the only good cold absorb out there, there needs to be more.

Cool ! U Absorb = U Noob

how's absorb = noob? I want to know.

sec i did this wrong....

so if i have 75 in normal then i hit nm and i still have 75 and i hit hell and i still have 75 but it is exactly 75 how much total res do i have?

...All in all, 20% aborb >> +20 absorb..

it depends on the amount of resists u have. Lets say u have 95% resists to lighting and take 1k of actual damg ur only taking 50 damg after applied resists.
20% of 50 damg is only 10 points of damg healed while tgods is +20, 20 > 10 am i not correct? so what im saying is tgods is better than a wisp projector unless you dont have a tgods and only have a wisp

Yeah, that is true enough actually. Good point.

Absorb is always a % value, even if the item doesn't really list that in the mods. Look on Blizz's site.;

I'd be surprised if that was actually true. But who knows, I've been surprised before.

How is it possible to have ladder only itams but not a common tgods . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always thought that the 20 meant percentage.
