DRK Bale Flanchard +2 does not increase potency of Absorb-Attri during Nether Void

[Urteil]

When using the ability Nethervoid in conjunction with the item Bale Flanchard +2, only two positive status effects are absorbed.

This should be 3, as this piece of armor boosts the absorb of all other types of absorb spells by 50%.

Steps:
1. Put on Bale Flanchard +2
2. Have a Red Mage friend in Ballista cast Shell 5, Protect 5, and Haste
3. Use Nether Void.
4. Use absorb-attri.

You only get two random buffs, not three. If repeating the same tests without bale flanchard +2 you still only get 2.

In trying to replicate this outside PvP in PvE on mobs that definitely have more than three status effects, you also only get two (Mobs that are buffed by BRD and WHM mobs in Dynamis etc, after canceling buffs on myself.)

This is the only spell at this current time that is not boosted by the "Enhances Nethervoid" effect.
