energy shield and %dr + pdr

[xxxkillerxxx]

Hi,

Does anyone know in which order %dr and straight -physical damage (e.g. sol rune) is calculated when using energy shield?

For example, if you have 50% damage reduction and -20 pdr on a sorc with 95% es, would you take 5 damage (%dr calculated before pdr) or 15 damage (pdr applied first then %dr taken into account) from a 1000 damage hit?

Damage order is:
ES
PDR
DR%

DR% is basically worthless, IMO, when you reach the higher levels of ES. PDR is the way to go.
