Question About Superior Absorption???

I was wondering which piece of armor to add the superior absorption? Ive read that the computer randomly decides where you get hit by an opponent and its usually torso, then leg area. So does this mean that I should put superior absorption on breastplate(cuirass)? Thanks

i was reading yesterday that it doesnt matter and that it's a universal damage reduction of 3. same for Knights and Ascalon armour.

But i've also read that it is localised. so people will probably tell you both, i dont know how you would go about testing it.

Put it in the chest piece. You could put it elsewhere but it doesn't really matter. The damage reduction of absorbtion runes are global while, I believe, dmg reduction in armor pieces are local (Knights, Ascalon).

Damage reduction is global for everything unless they've recently changed it.

That's final, don't make up any lame arguments that they changed it with the equipment exploit fix, that's what the manual says, etc. because it isn't.
