→Absorption
=Absorption=
The absorption modifier completely erases some amount of damage, usually of a specific type. It also heals the user that amount of damage before they take damage from the rest of the hit The value of absorption modifiers varies greatly due to how damage is inflicted. Lightning is most useful, fire, cold, and physical less so.
Absorbing lightning damage is the most useful since lightning tends to hit in multiple small bolts. Ten points of lightning absorb can completely neuter a Lightning Enchanted boss, if it's emitting dozens of 6-8 damage charges. In contrast, ten points of fire absorb would make hardly any difference against 500 damage meteors.
Absorbs % damage mods are most useful against fierce melee damage monsters such as cows or minotaurs, who hit for big physical damage.
