I am at work and can't get on to the Internet now to check out the post.
So maybe someone can clarify this for me. Is Absor also referring to Psalm
of warmth and cooling? They have "damage shields", not damage absorption
shields. If the Psalms are being nerfed I'll be pretty pissed... I like
the damage shields. I would like to assume that Absor is refering to ONLY
damage absorption shields but assuming something that Verant does only
makes and ass out of you and me.
