{{Absorb nav}}
Absorb decreases damage then heals life equivalent to that damage decrease, after resistance has been applied.
#Damage equivalent to percentage Absorb is subtracted from damage remaining after resistance.
#Damage equivalent to integer Absorb is subtracted from damage remaining after percentage Absorb.
#Healing equivalent to total damage absorbed is applied.
#Damage remaining after percentage and integer Absorb is applied.

The net result depends on current [[life]] at time of healing: actual healing = min(maximum life - current life , total damage absorbed), so maximum healing only occurs when current life ≤ maximum life - total damage absorbed.

There is a ceiling of 40% Absorb, so there can never be a net life gain from % Absorb. Thus it performs a similar function to resistance, so when current life ≤ maximum life - total damage absorbed, effective percentage damage decrease as a result of resistance and percentage Absorb is as follows:

Percentage damage decrease = Resist + (100-Resist * Absorb/50)

So for example, Resist 75% and 20% Absorb can reduce damage by 85%, equivalent to Resist 85% (so 20% Absorb is equivalent to +10% Maximum Resist with Resist +10%).

However, when Resist -125% is applied, Resist 85% is decreased to {{Warn|=-40%}}: when applied to Resist 75% and 20% Absorb, it is decreased to -50%, increasing damage from 15% to 150%; 150% damage can be decreased by 20% Absorb (30% damage) then equivalent healing (30% damage) is applied, decreasing 150% damage to 90%; 90% damage is equivalent to Resist 10% (or (75-125) + (100-(75-125) * 20/50) ).

Some more examples:
*[[Lightning Resist]] 75%, 20% Lightning Absorb and Lightning Absorb +20 would apply to 60 lightning damage as follows:
#LR 75% decreases 60 to 15
#20% LA decreases 15 to 12 (-3)
#LA +20 decreases 12 to 0 (-12)
#15 (3+12) healing applied
#0 damage applied
*Player with 45/100 life would be healed for 15 ( min(100-45 , 15) ) life, resulting in 60 (45+15-0) life after damage applied (+15 life).
*Player with 90/100 life would be healed for 10 ( min(100-90 , 15) ) life, resulting in 100 (90+10-0) life after damage applied (+10 life).

*LR 75%, 20% LA and LA +20 would apply to 180 lightning damage as follows:
#LR 75% decreases 180 to 45
#20% LA decreases 45 to 36 (-9)
#LA +20 decreases 36 to 16 (-20)
#29 (9+20) healing applied
#16 damage applied
*Player with 45/100 life would be healed for 29 ( min (100-45 , 29) ) life, resulting in 58 (45+29-16) life after damage applied (+13 life).
*Player with 90/100 life would be healed for 10 ( min (100-90 , 29) ) life, resulting in 84 (90+10-16) life after damage applied (-6 life).
