Does anyone know if the absorptions (Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, & Negative Energy) on the Green Steel Weapons stack?



for example: would a weapon with the 10% (MOF), 15% (MOF), 20% (MOF) fire absorption upgrades give a combined 45% fire absorption?



Also...how do these absorptions stack with other items like the Firestorm Greaves (http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/jgould2005/DDO/Items/Boots/FirestormGreaves.jpg)or the Ring of the Djinn (http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/jgould2005/DDO/Items/Rings/RingoftheDjinn.jpg)?



Any help will be appreciated...I am thinking of making some absorption weapons for my characters that don't have evasion (i.e. my gimped Cleric) :D

I am guessing that they do not stack...but would like some info from others :)

I can confirm the tree tiers stack in some way.
I'm not exactly sure, but I think they stack multiplicatively, so the damage you take is multiplied by (1 - 0.1) * (1 - 0.15) * (1 - 0.2) = 0.612, which corresponds to 38.8% total absorption.
I also suspect it stacks in the same way with firestorm greaves, fire shield or a ring of the djinni, but haven't got a chance to try it myself.
