Question:spark ignores def/block in pvp?

i know is just a question,but i always think in magical hits like death ray,phoenix shot if they always hit the enemy in pvp

they ignore block/defense rigth?

ofcourse spark isnt for pvp,is just a question.

I think all AoE skills cannot be blocked, evaded or defended against, but I'm far from sure about that.

today i test spark on a ata 11x(dradgenout shield) (my mech is 95)

all sparks i use on ata hit her!!!! so def/block doesnt block spark in this case

 

now i dont know if spark ignore def cause isnt in %baseed or  if cause all AOE skills ignore def/block like meteor.

but i see...spark is affected by Abs ofcourse

i am not sure if is Abs or Hp that save the ata...but the def/block doesnt protect agnist ata on my test.

 

just dreaming,now spark can reach 6 weap speed

i do her pot hp 3 times in 45 sec with spark :

All damage you take is affected by absorb. The only damage sources I know of in the game that doesn't take absorb into account is Extinction and Soul Sucker and the former doesn't work against players at all, while the latter is too weak to be of much use (if it even works at all).

 

Damage in PvP is reduced by some factor I'm not sure of. 20-30% or thereabout I'd guess. Spark is not terribly strong at high levels, doing 960 damage max for a L140 mech. Reduce that to 20-30% and you get a max of 192-288 damage per spark, further reduced by 1 point for each point of absorb.
