Vicious Mufflers Absorb Enhancement

[Davricle]

A few questions cause I haven't seen the answers:

1) Does "Absorb" Include drain and aspir?

2) Whats the enhancement it provides?

[SamanosukeShiva]

I think the absorb in V.Muff is for the DRK spells, and it increase the duration of the stat enhancement.

[Stromgarde]

1) no
2) 10 seconds added to duration

Yeah as of now the only items that affect drain/aspir are the 2 items from the FL assaults. I don't have them myself yet, so I can't provide any info on them. sry.

Also Dark/Pluto's Staff (enhances all dark-based), and Diabolos's Pole (specifically drain/aspir). Not that as a drk you'd use those most times, but they're there.

For Vicious Mufflers (a friend of mine keeps calling them Viscous Mufflers) absorb wouldn't help drain/aspir, spell has to say absorb. As far as the 10-second boost, that's the likeliest story of how it works but that's just an assumption based on all other "enhance absorb" gear. It is possible, however unlikely, that SE has made these different.

Edit: if Vicious Mufflers act the same as Diabolos's Pole, tests showed that it's somewhere between the boost of Dark Staff and Pluto's, so looking around a 12ish % boost. Too bad you couldn't wear them + the assault set, those + Pluto's Staff would make a great Drain II before zerging set.

Someone on KI tested the mufflers to be the same enhance granted by Onyx/Black gear, and the effect stacks.

Pluto's staff doesn't "enhance" absorb spells, just increases the accuracy..
