Do absorb runes stack with the inherent dam absorb of a knights armor? If not, does anybody know the value of the dam absorb on the knights armor. Even though its lower AL then the platemail the dam absorb makes a difference and if the runes don't stack (or if the sup absorb is the only rune better then the knights armor) then it makes sense to get the platemail with a sup absorb anyway for a total of -3 instead of -3+knights armor.

Also, does a 10/10 sundering axe/sword/hammer upgrade make a difference to a warrior with a 5 str or higher, as that inherently gives a 10% armor pen. Does the sundering add 10% to the total you got, or make it 10% total.

Does anybody have a list of the weapon abilities such as speed and bonus's ( I heard that half moon bows have armor pen inherent).

Thanx

A. This belong's in the Q&A forum, not Riverside.

1. Absobtion runes do stack with knights (and ascalon) armor. it also stacks with shield absorbtion.. giving you a max of -7 absorbtion possible (-2 from armor, -2 from shield & -3 from superior rune).

also note that knights armor absorbiot doesn't stack with itself. You get the full benefit from the absorbtion no matter what piece of knights (or ascalon) armor you wear and irrelevant to where you got hit - ie wear boots but get hit in the chest, the absorbtion from the boots will still apply.
