MgS (in General)

It does not grant AC. Instead, it protects against Direct Damage Spells based on the + added to the item. It absorbs up to 2.2k points of damage per enchantment level, with a minimum absorption of 1% per enchantment level. This reduction is capped at 50% of the damage dealt

Including Decay? Just want to make sure. I'm considering my strategy for when I convert my mage, and I'd like to know if this DD reduction includes Decay. Thanks!

It absorbs up to 2.2k points of damage per enchantment level, with a minimum absorption of 1% per enchantment level. <~~~ I'm assuming this means the max DD spell damage it can absorb is 110K?

I don't think it does anything to Decay. But someone would have to check one of the old changelogs to make sure.

No one's got a MgS to 51% to see if it stops 50% or 51% yet! ;)

This reduction is capped at 50% of the damage dealt

so if you would get 1 million damage it would maximum block 500,000...

a +25 would block either 25*2200 = 55000 points of damage OR 25% of the damage if the damage dealt was higher than 220,000

Isn't that 2200 figure obsoleted by the armor change part 4 post?

perhaps it is indeed :)

a MgS +N now absorbs a minimum of N% of dmg done; MgS now easier to upgrade

It's ambiguous.

It doesn't state wither this is in addition too or has replaced the fixed bonus.

a MgS +N now absorbs a minimum of N% of dmg done; MgS now easier to upgrade

Looks like pretty in place of to me.

Id say that all the previous things about the MgS are now void with that change. If it is easier to upgrade, then perhaps there isn't the 50% limit anymore. If the limit were still in place then something would have been said.

Then why the wording;

"a MgS +N now absorbs a minimum of N% of dmg done"

"a minimum"

If it didn't also have the direct reduction per point, shouldn't it be

"A MgS +N now absorbs n% of dmg done"?

In this case, shouldn't the wiki be changed to reflect that it doesn't cap off at 2.2k points of DD per +?

First off it was never capped at 2.2k per point, it calculated whether the % or the + multiplied by 2.2k was higher, the only cap was that it could not absorb more than 50%.

It absorbs up to 2.2k points of damage per enchantment level that would be a damage cap.
