Hello,
I love D2 duels, but I think a lot of the Elemental characters suffer too much from the absorb mechanic. I was thinking if the Absorb can be removed from affecting character damage. Anothe way to do this is to reduce it, the way damage from characted is reduced to 1/6th.
This comes from one of my duels with am amazon with Max res (95) and max absorb (40%). I tried a sorc with 50+k lightning damage and didn’t do more than 100 dmg on a hit. Same witha 22k fireball sorc after the amazon just put the appropriate items. I have stopped playing d2 for a while now and this is probably the only reason why I don’t want to come back to it. Please have a thought about it. Other wise duels will be ruled by magic and physical damage.
