for us "slow" folks does this "Updated shields, armors, and runes with damage reduction abilities so that they only reduce physical damage" make armor penetrating lighting attacks not really that big a deal? kinda sounds it to me unless i dont understand the update.

They are a bigger deal, since there is more damage coming through.

Prior to the 7/13 update, shields with damage reduction reduced lightning damage by 1-5 per hit/spell; now they do not. Absorption from Armor and Runes never had an effect, so far as I know, on spells, only atacks.

Spells were just harder to tell the reduction, they got reduced though.
