Topic: WTF with Shield Generator? Please, show calculation of absorbtion.

Hello!

I have Seth and skills
1) Advanced robotics = 8 lvl (40% absorbtion)
2) 2 Shield Hardeners 50% each

My calculation
100% - 40% = 60%
60% / 50% = 30%
30% / 50% = 15%

100% - 15% = 85% absorbtion but seems that it's not true(

1) In passive mod Absorbtion ratio = 0,68
2) 1 Shield hardener is on AR = 0,46
3) 2 Shield hardeners is on AR = 0,3
OMG? Absorbtion with 2 shield hardeners become 30% ? less than base Seth at 8 lvl...

Please, show calculationg of  shield absorbtion
I may miss something but with such absorbtion Seth is very-very poor tank

Thx

Re: WTF with Shield Generator? Please, show calculation of absorbtion.

If I understand this correctly you think that a lower absorption ratio is worse, but this is incorrect.

A lower absorption ratio is actually better, since absorption is measured in AP/HP, meaning if it's 0,3 then 0,3 AP is consumed for 1 HP of damage received.
