Thread: Resist C Absorption

anyone explains me what absorption does. what do I want for pvp, high base or high absorption ? thanks
Absorption is a straight percentage reduction in the tick of each poison or disease that lands. What would normally be a 1000 tick becomes an 800 damage tick with 20 absorption resistance buffs...
Also, since cures make their check against the tick value rather than the effectiveness of the poison or disease, absorption helps by reducing the amount of poison or disease you have to cure.

What's the highest absorbtion any of you have seen?
I think my resources max out at 22 or 23% -- I believe the theoretical max is 25.
Of course, I find that I reach the point of diminishing return when experimenting on that line a bit before the max -- the resist Cs that I sell are usually in the 17-19% range, because that leaves me with enough points to get the power over the typical potency of combat meds...
Even when using janta blood I don't get the absorption over 20, since it starts to take more points than it's worth -- the additional base power just lets me dump a few points into duration...
