Damage Reduction question

Is there a cap on damage reduction from equipment? I just realized, that with a 4s armor, 3s helm, 4s shield, 11 Ber runes, and a Verdungo's Hearty Cord, the damage reduction would add up to over 100%. Just curious, since realistically the concept of ever finding 11 Ber runes is laughable.

Relative Damage Reduction (such as "Damage Reduced by 35%" on Stormshield) is capped at 50%.
Absolute Damage Reduction (such as "Damage Reduced by 3" on Nagelring) has no cap - if you have enough of it, you can take hits without losing ANY life.

Cool, thanks.. I figured they'd have remembered to include some sort of balance preservation on damage reduction, but thought I'd check anyway. Still, 50% damage reduction, along with some of the resists that a Pally can get, might be interesting for my full support build I'm planning...but then again, Ber runes.. finding them.. lol.. like that'll happen.

you wouldnt actually need 11 ber runes, storm = 35 + shaft = 30 + verdu/string = 15 + shako/rockstopper = 10 + Crainte Vomir sword = 10

thats a total of 100%.. u could get 105 using 15% crown of ages instead of shako

edit: by the way, how much absolute damage reduction is needed to be usefull?
