Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Sunder Magic Absorb Fire Absorb Lightning Absorb Cold Absorb Lightning Absorb decreases any lightning damage then heals life equivalent to that damage decrease, after lightning resistance has been applied. Damage equivalent to % LA is subtracted from lightning damage remaining after LR. Damage equivalent to LA is subtracted from lightning damage remaining after % LA. Healing equivalent to total lightning damage absorbed is applied. Lightning damage remaining after total absorbed is applied. The net result depends on current life at time of healing: actual healing = min(maximum life - current life , total lightning damage absorbed), so maximum healing only occurs when current life ≤ maximum life - total lightning damage absorbed. There is a ceiling of 40% LA, so there can never be a net life gain from % LA. Thus it performs a similar function to LR, so when current life ≤ maximum life - total lightning damage absorbed, effective percentage damage decrease as a result of LR and % LA is as follows: Percentage damage decrease = LR + ((100-LR) * LA/50) % Lightning Absorb Item Helm Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder (10-15)% Ground helm 35 Yes (D2R only) Sword Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder 25% Lightsabre Phase Blade 58 No Ring Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder (10-20)% Wisp Projector Ring 76 No Lightning Absorb Item Helm Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +20 Blackhorn's Face Death Mask 41 No Pelt Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(9-14) Spirit Keeper Earth Spirit 67 No Mace Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(3-9) Stormlash Scourge 82 No Sword Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(3-7) Djinn Slayer Ataghan 65 Yes (LoD only) Belt Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +20 Thundergod's Vigor War Belt 47 No
