Re: The Questions Thread
Affirmative (in machine voice, T2 style)
It was asked and confirmed before. One important question asked about absorb was "if you load up with a lot of %absorb (capped at 40%) and have straight absorb, can you completely absorb all damages"? The answer was "Not, if your straight absorb cannot completely offset the damage first".
The reason was, "Blizzard doesn't do the thing that benefit player, straight absorb comes first, so if straight absorb cannot offset the damage, the what ever left is done by %. You cannot get 100%."
Now think about it, since when blizzard done anything that benefit player by design? All the player benefit "features" are bugs that blizzard wasn't intended. The absolute max resistant by player is 95%, monsters can go as high as they want. The max %PDR is 50%, monster can go unbreakable PI. Max block chance for player is 75%/25%, look at the chance to block for Diablo and Baal (it does not get reduced when runs).
