Damage reduction

Absorption is an effect found on some warrior-specific equipment that reduces physical damage from attacking enemies. Absorption is an excellent way to mitigate damage.

Stacking

 * Ascalon Armor and Knight's Armor absorption affects the whole body&mdash;the individual pieces do not stack, so you only need one. Most people use the boots or the gloves.

Sources of Absorbtion
