Angelic Shield

I was out in the forest earlier, and used a couple omniblast vials and the persons shield absorbed over 100k+ of their damage and then some, every single time. I know the shield absorbs a certain percentage of damage, but 80%+ it seems like? thats crazy!
(BTW Sorry Gotweed!)

Hoof made it 33% static - only thing with that is a "logging" issue really from the looks of it. You did 5k damage to Gotweed at 98% res without the shield, and 3k damage to Whitefire at 98% res with the shield...looks like it's kinda working the way it should be, even though I'm not gonna bother with the exact math of it.
*Pulls out calculator*
Err... the damage, after 33% absorb AND 98% resistance, should only be around 2680.
I think he should be glad

close enough though to show that the angelic shield was working how it was supposed to.

Which just at a glance, if the vial does 200k dmg, then absorbing 100k+ is 50% right there right?
And then the 100k dmg that was left of course gets negated alot by the 98% resists. I am thankful for the damages I DID get, I was just curious about why it looked like the shield was soaking up 50% + of the vials dmg total.
200,000 dmg Divided by 33% says it should be 66,000 right? So it may just be a logging issue. I think if it said I used a vial and the shield absorbed 66k dmg, and then I did 4k dmg to them (98% resist) I would have figured their spell protects would have soaked up all the dmg,
But just seeing the 100k + absorbed by the shield kinda threw me off.
Thank you Val and Sain
(just added it all up. 200,000 dmg - 98% = 196000) Daaaaang that makes omniblast vials fizzle away :shock:

Ah alright, that makes a little more sense now. It just looked odd with saying that angelic shield absorbed 100k+ dmg.

Ok, now I'M confused o_O
If you SHOULD only be doing 2680 damage, why is it normal that you're doing 3-5k?
And what the heck do you mean "Logging issue"? o_O

Because....... The Dmg for the Vial is 200,000 Correct? Now if you noticed, it said angelic shield was absorbing 100,000+ of the damage. which is 50% at the least. Angelic shield is suppose to absorb 33% of the damage or thereabouts from what everyone is saying. So that means an extra 17-20% of the Omniblast vial is fizzling off somewhere else.
And what I meant by logging issue is that if it said xxx spell resistance of 98% absorbed 100,000 dmg and then the angelic shield absorbed 33% on top of that thats fine, but saying that Angelic shield ALONE absorbed over 50% of the vials damage says one of a few things,
A) There is a bug and the shield is sapping up 17- 20% more damage than it should
C) Damages are being displayed incorrectly, IE: Angelic shield absorbing 50% of the omniblast vials damage when 33% (quoted absorbtion ratio) would only be 66,000 dmg or thereabouts.
Because just from what logs say, the shield absorbed 100 - 112k dmg on average, And thats 50% of the vials potential. Angelic shield doesnt absorb 50% does it? If yes then everything is perfectly fine, if no? Then why is the log saying it absorbed 100- 112k of the 200k dmg ?
There are quite a few people that have had questions or complaints about omniblast vials lately, problems with their damages, problems with them even working. All kinds of issues with them. I was just curious for myself why it doesnt look (at least) like its doing the ammt of dmg that its suppose to.

I think I understand it all really, I am just terrible at math I know. But the text saying that the shield absorbed half of the vials damage total potential looked weird.
Like I mentioned, if it said "You hit xxx for 3,000 dmg. 98% spell resist, angelic shield absorbed 66,000 dmg" it would look perfectly logical to me. I would figure that the spell resists negated all but 69,000 dmg and their shield absorbed 66,000 leaving me with only 3,000 left to inflict on them.
But seeing it say the shield itself absorbed over half of what the vial damage is looked weird. :?
Ah well, thank you for the answers anyways
