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 Absorb 40%, so there can never be a net life gain from percentage Absorb. Thus it performs a similar function to resistance, so when current life ≤ maximum life - total damage absorbed, effective percentage damage reduction 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 -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).
