Questions About Superior Absorption? - Guild Wars Forums

Sbadboy85 · Nov 08, 2005, 05:42 AM // 05:42

Please forgive me if this has already been posted, but i have looked and found nothing to help me. If it has been posted please leave a link to show me where it is.

I have a Warrior/Monk and i just found a Superior Absorption Rune and i was wondering where to put it on him. Does it really matter if i put it in the chest vs his feet?

Use the SEARCH button. It is global, which means it doesnt matter where it goes.

He's right. It's global. You get the benefit as a whole, not as one piece with extra defense. So click and upgrade away. I'd make sure it's in armor you'll be wearing for awhile, like say droks or FoW or marhans<you get the idea>, and don't put it in collectors eq, because you can't resalvage it

either way, put it on your chest piece, because that's where hits generally tend to go.

how many million people have to verify this... ITS GLOBAL!!! location of this rune makes no difference. Next rumor: put your weapon rune in your gloves since that's where you hold your weapon.

And if you use a Tactics rune, be sure to put it in your boots, or else it won't improve your stances.

Obviously you'd put it in your leggings so your legs are stronger and therefore can still run with a full backpack. Noobs these days...

expertise goes in the head for better brains (wow, wish they could allow warriors to use expertise runes

)

water magic in the pants for better watering = less time waiting for afk ppl

well, better stop here, cuz its going to be too Benny Hill-ish...

IMO sell it to the rune trader you should get bout 90K or something but do as you please

DvM · Nov 08, 2005, 02:44 PM // 14:44

sorry to hijack your thread, but would knights/ascalon armor+ an absoption rune stakc or would the best reduce the damage?

Yichi · Nov 08, 2005, 03:18 PM // 15:18

You could honestly sell it and use a major absorb as the dmg reduction difference is so small that it doesnt do that much better. Plus youd make around 90k

Sigh... I should really work on that FAQ of mine. Yes, Knight's/Ascalon stack with Absorption, not with each other. Closed.
