Upon reading todays patch notes it looks like that ABS runes now ONLY work on the piece of armour thier on

. Has any one tested this to find out if its true or not ?

runes are global.

the armor having a global effect was fixed.

The absorption from the knights and ascalon armor is specific to the piece they are on but the rune and shield absorption are still global, but only reduce physical damage.

only the armor pieces are specific to a certain body part they are on and the runes are still global but like all dmg reductions it's for physical dmg only so this update is a double edged sword to warriors but at least it makes the elemental mods more important.
