Any ideas on the peak %absorb for ES on a fballer?

Just need some confirmation. Few people on Europe Ladder claiming that 95% is possible for a ES/Fballer.

Consider all sort of prebuff is allowed. 1pt in ES.

I worked it out to be slvl34 ES. Which is 89%?

90% is at lvl 40 so 89% is 39

 

[jake007]

I'm pretty sure 95% is slvl40.

Another question, since ES neglects both DR and resistance, is there any point at all in having those?

Nope. The only resist you'd ever need is psn res (because psn ignores es and goes right to ur life)

Oops 95% is what I meant so lvl 34=89%. And you'll need to watch out for OW too it's just as nasty as poison, but you can antidote prebuff poison

max possible prebuff

+3 light helm
+3 light amu
+9 memory staff
+3 ormus
+1 soj
+1 arach
+1 soj

+9 skillers
+3 torch
+1 anni
+1 cta

= +35 to energy shield

so you need 5 base points to hit 95% absorb. theres no good reason to have 1 hard point in energy shield. either get it from memory and save the pre-reqs or go for 95% absorb. maybe these people on europe sacrifice points in fire mastery instead (i would).

well, obviously these can further lower the damage you receive. not really necessary, as the dmg received should already be pretty low. % dr and res can be neglected imo. fixed dr and mdr (like on gladiators bane) can be extremely useful though.
