Energy Absorption working right?

It says +def all but psionics. But, it's not affecting Ranged, Melee, or AoE defenses or either NRGs. It's only affecting SnL and down. Fire, Cold, etc.

Does it not supposed to affect ranged, melee, aoe and nrgs? If not, it needs to be reworded and not say +def to all.

It is def to all Types but Psi, just like it says. There are two types of defense in the game, Positional which is Melee/Ranged/AOE and Typed which is S/L/E/N/F/C/Psi. Ice Armor is Typed defense so naturally all of it's powers are typed defense powers. You see the same with positional defense sets... all of Shield's powers for example grant Positional defense and offer no typed defense.

There are very few defense powers which grant BOTH typed and positional defenses... pool powers like Weave, Maneuvers, Combat Jumping and Hover do that so they're useful by characters using both kinds of defense. Likewise external buffs like Force Fields, Ice Shields and the like use both kinds, again so that they benefit teammates using either type of defense.
