Wizard Familiar- Damage Reduction Question

[DonkeyHunter]

Say you are at 26 % health and take a single blow that would normally kill you, does the Familiar Ancient Guardian (alabaster rune stone) absorb the rest of the hit below 25% health thus leaving you at 25% health when the 5 hit absorbs wear out or would it only absorb the next separate hit meaning you would die.

Does this also apply the the witch doctor and barbarian reduces dmg below a certain % of health?

Thanks

I think the familiar starts taking hits for you once you are BELOW 25%. Therefore if you are at 26% and take a lethal hit... you're out of luck. Got to draw the line somewhere.

Yeah, the tooltip is pretty clear on this.

>=25%: you receive 25% or more damage, you die.
<25%: you receive damage, 5 attacks will be nullified. The 5th attack will kill the familiar, the 6th attack could kill you
