Sorry, I can’t find this anywhere in the game guide or wiki, hope I’m not overlooking anything.
Some skills offer damage Absorption - I can guess what this is, want to know how it works however. Does that amount of damage (before or after resistance mitigation??) get taken?
Some skills offer energy leech. My intuition is not enough - what exactly is taken from what, and put where?
Thanks tons
Also, there seems to be something called energy absorbtion. Not sure if that is different from “energy leech” or not. And apparently, these both work as both active and passive skills?
Energy leech replenishes your energy when you hit enemies with a weapon attack or a spell that has weapon damage. For example, if you have 45 energy leech over 3 seconds and hit someone with a basic weapon attack (100% weapon damage), you’ll regenerate 15 energy per second for 3 seconds. It’s a really nice way to regenerate energy with characters that do weapon attacks.
Damage absorption takes place after all other reductions, including reductions from armor and resistances.
Thanks much. Does the absorption give the absorbed amount to my health pool or is it like reduced damage taken %?
Damage absorption as a flat number just means all hits are reduced by that amount for the duration of the effect. If you have 200 absorption for 4 seconds, all damage is reduced by 200. If you were supposed to take 800, you would take 600 instead.
If the absorption is listed as a %, then just subtract that percent from what you would have taken. 10% damage absorption makes 1000 damage become 900.
If there is a flat absorption number but no duration listed (like the turtle devotion), you can absorb that total amount and then the effect expires.
Energy absorption is a different mechanic - it gives you energy when enemies hit you with spells. Just know that higher amounts of energy absorption means you get more mana when you’re hit with spells.
No it takes place BEFORE all other reductions

According to the official game guide, it’s not:
Oh my bad I haven’t read the game guide in years I’m sure it used to be before …

Incorrect, check the game guide: http://www.grimdawn.com/guide/gameplay/combat.php
Advanced mechanics, Order of Defense states that damage absorption is the last in the order of damage mitigation. I don’t know why the rumor that it’s first continues to spread.
