There will be some changes to damage absorb in the next patch since its far to easy to get 100% which I'm sure none of you really want. It may seem like fun to be unkillable but when half the server obtains the same it's not going to be fun for anyone.

Many of the epic sets and accessories will have the stat replaced with alternative stats.
The 1% AB cards may be reduced to 0.5%.

Anybody that purchased items with absorb will be able to get a refund on tears/trophies if they so wish.

Sorry about this, totally my fault, I didn't think it through properly when creating the new set stats and bonuses, and didn't take into account the fact you could equip a 1% AB card in all slots with the alternative card equip item.
