How exactly does the damage absorb for this work? Is it a flat-reduction ala Invulnerability/IDF, or is it a 'shield' type that's mostly useless through being such an inconsequentially low value?

Mostly asking because I'm trying to figure out how I want to build Magmazone (Heavy Weapons, focusing on Crushing/Fire damage), and while I'm pretty sure that I'm not really going to bother worrying about the boost at all, knowing what it actually does for me will go a long way towards helping me decide what other defensive measures I want to throw in (once I get all my cool factor out of the way). Not that it'll likely have a big impact, but it's been bugging me.

When I tested it, it *seemed* to be an absorb. But the defensive value was so small it fell well within the damage variance so I don't consider those tests conclusive in the slightest.

It said "Unstoppable absorbed ? (?) damage" in the combat log so it probably works exactly like how IDF works.

That's generally been my problem with testing it as well - can't tell if it's working or not for the most part.

Thanks, mates. o7 Definately gives me a bit of things to consider insofar as keeping her defenses mostly thematic (though I may just pretend it's not even there and go with whatever else makes sense - I doubt I'm going to notice the difference at all).

It's an absorb. It's just a really weak one (something like 20 points).
