how do run's work?

[Horadrim]

Does this principle work on Wards, also? For example, if I have Sulpor up and use Ward: Liement, am I absorbing Water damage or Lightning damage?

Thanks.

Yes. If you want to absorb Earth Damage (with Liement) you need to use Wind Runes. To absorb Water, you need Thunder.


It should be noted you do seem to get resistance boost from the Rune you're using, but it looks like (if I remember correctly) it is about half of the resistance you gain from the weak element.

To that extent, I assume the higher your resistance the more you gain from the nuke that procs Liement. My average with 3 runes seems to be around 550 HP restored.
