Resist Absolute Damage

Resist Absolute Damage is a defensive effect that sets incoming damage to a fixed value while it is active. It is currently available from Reactive Technique and Adrenaline of Rage. This is strongest against hard-hitting abilities and in in PVP.

When active, incoming damage becomes the listed Resist Absolute Damage value. This can lower a large hit, but it can also raise a tiny hit to that fixed value.

Sources

• Force Gunner Buff: Reactive Technique grants Resist Absolute Damage 218 at level 1, scaling down to 180 at level 20
• Gladiator Buff: Adrenaline of Rage grants Resist Absolute Damage 37 at level 1, scaling down to 18 at level 20

Notes and Tips

• Lower Is Better: Smaller Resist Absolute Damage values are stronger because incoming damage is set to that number.
• Not A Minimum Cap: A hit that would have dealt less damage will become the Resist Absolute Damage value while the effect is active.
• Skill-Only Source: It is not available through gear or progression systems, only from Reactive Technique and Adrenaline of Rage.
