Re: Get sorb out!!
Yeah absorb is kinda useless stat. They should balance the game in a way that you would only need resistances.
When LOD came, damages went sky high, I don't know why they did that.. why couldn't they just boost damage by 50% or something. If baba did 1000 ww damage he would now do 1500 with new gears. But he actually did 5000 or something IIRC.. nowadays a lot more i suppose. So they had to create DR% and absorbs% to balance the damage taken.

Re: Get sorb out!!
Let's get this clear,
You cannot nerf or remove a perfectly viable game feature for PvM for the sake of PvP. Diablo 2 isn't a PvP oriented game. What you are suggesting is the removal or castration of an item modifier that actually is very interesting to explore under PvM conditions and has often been explored on new and interesting character builds.
With each feature nerf or removal, one is just limiting further the game already limited options for character building. At most what you could ask was for elemental damage absorb to be nerfed under PvP conditions. But wouldn't that make sorcs move from uber PKers to Godly PKers? I think it would...
And here is some news... D3 will have a lot more focus on damage reduction as opposed to immunities. In this context, modifiers like 'damage reduce by', life leech, and damage absorb make all sense.

Re: Get sorb out!!
def agree with the elemental is least favored for pvp, u can easily hit some high resistance numbers and with a little absorb ur good to go. sorcs should just stick to mfing and other pvm activities.
so in short, keep absorb modifier in the game... not like every item has it, its quite uncommon a modifier
joo crazy mang, absorbing all the lightning damage while the rest of your party gets owned is GREAT. makes u look even more powerful and adds humor to the game
