I was wondering for integer absorb, if the pvp damage ( without resistance applied ) is lower than the amount of integer absob you have - does this mean that resistences do not affect the amount of healing you receive.

As an example, with 85 res and 20 integer abs - a base damage of 50 is said to to 8 dmg by the damage calculator ( regardless of resists ).

Seeing as resist is generally applied before integer absorb, this doesnt seem to make much sense to me... but i dunno

The damage calculator im talking about is on " power advantage . net " and is 3rd for me if i google " d2 damage calculator"

looking at the calculator u are talking about, the dmg does seem to fluctuate depending on your resists which means resists do affect the amount of healing u would recieve since reduces the amount of dmg that the interger amount would have to detract from

Since sorb cannot go beyond 50% and you still have "Taken" the damage, they cancel eachother out[Example, you take 20 damage, then get healed for 20 dmg]. This means that essentially you cannot actually get healed by sorb, not on a positive integer anyways. What this boils down to is that sorb is simply just a second layer of resistances. That's all there is to it. I'm pretty positive resist is calc first, then sorb, but even if it's vice-versa, it should be the same result.

Perhaps my above information is wrong, idk, it's just how I've been told it works and it makes perfect sense.

Try with the figures i suggested

What you say is true in gerenal but I'm refering to the case ( in pvp ) where (screen dmg)/6 < integer absorb

bump

50 damage is reduced to 8 by the unit PvP modifier (17%).

8 damage vs 0 res, 20 absorb: 8 damage reduced to 0 (max{0;8-20}=0), put these 8 points into heal pool. Heal first, then do remaining damage (0). Net effect: 0-8* Life gained
8 damage vs 85% res, 20 abs: 8 damage reduced to 1 (85% resist), absorb applies to the remainder. Net effect: 0-1 Life gained.

*) If currentLife > maxLife-8, Life gained is less than 8.

yeh this is what i thought , but the calculator says that with 85 res and 50 damage, you have a heal of 8 life as well...

thats the funny shit about d2!

sometimes less resist is better to heal on elemental damage!


your damage calculator confuse you!
50/6pvp = 8damage
or
50*0.85resist = 8damage

your confuse me!
(regardless of resist)?
damage or heal?

@Tommyvv i pm'd you the link to the damage calculator, try it out yourself - maybe its just me..

But i agree with what u guys say tho about what the output of the calculator "should" be
