super armor

Absorption do stack, considering that they don't effect the armor as a whole but only the individual place they're put on, as in you only get the absorption effect if you get hit in the chest if you have the absorption rune on the chest armor piece. Wrong, one absorption rune is all you need as the effect is global.

Runes of Absorbtion have a global effect, they reduce all physical damage by 1-3, regardless of hit location.

Knight's Insignias only reduce damage when hit at the location that they are worn.

Two Runes of Absorbtion will not stack, you only get the benefit of one, the highest.

The damage reduction from a Knight's Insignia and a Rune of Absorbtion do stack, but only at the location that the Insignia is worn.

note that absorption only works vs. physical dmg Ha, July 13 '06. Sad day for warriors.

so say blessed does it only effects that piece of armor? like it doesn't stack all around so 3 blessed does mean +30 armor while enchanted it reads +10 on that piece? The +10 is only applied on the piece the insignia is on. So no, 3 Blessed insignias does not give you +30 but +10 on those 3 specific armor pieces the insignias are on.

And as mentioned, multiple Absorption runes are pointless, only one will take effect.

I still think that absorbtion should be returned to ALL damage not just physical. Man, that would restore my long, long lost faith in Anet.

Sentinel Armor+13 Strength+Max Shield with 10 armor vs x+Dolyak Signet is the most armor you can get as a warrior...
you can always use stuff like Armor of Earth or Kinetic Armor instead of Dolyak but than'd you'd be an even bigger F A I L U R E than you already are if you play Warrior as a TANK... Bringing an imbagon would give more armour.

But then again, if you're bringing an imbagon, why would you bring a tank...
