Bubbles and crushability?

So I spent all of my RAF levels on a priest (because priests are the worst class I've ever leveled, and I've leveled a druid before level 30). Since you don't get free combat skills (or decent gear) pretty much every hit I took in the first couple levels in Outlands was a crushing blow. However, when I bubbled myself, the combat log and MSBT just said 'absorbed' and not 'crushing.'
I
assumed
that just meant that neither the log nor MSBT could show (absorbed)(crushing) but now that my combat skills have climbed up a little bit I can't really test it anymore. I'm just sort of curious, priest bubbles cannot prevent crushing blows, correct?

you can only get crushing blows when the mob your fighting is a certain amount of levels higher than you. i think its 3+

You can absolutely still be a victim of a crushing blow even if you're bubbled. You should go head to head with a raid boss and see if you get crushed. ;-) don't forget your shield!

I figured as much. Odd that the combat log can't report both effects, though.

lol. If you ever see yourself get hit for 6,000 (4,000 Absorbed) assume that was a crushing blow.
oh hey I just realized you're Pezz from the pally forum. I'm sure you would have known if priest bubbles prevented your pally tank from taking a crushing blow off the table! So for that reason as well, trust that bubbles don't push crushing blows off the table. ;-) Just stop fighting so many mobs 3+ lvls over you!

They're actually a lower level than me. The issue is that when you RAF level, you have the defense skill of a level 30 toon in outlands.

it depends on your defence rating, which depends on your defence skill. If you used RaF to lvl you would be at like mby 30 def rating at lvl 60(when you should be on like 300)

The tip on the load screen says if it is 4 levels higher than you it can deal a crushing blow.

*Assuming your defense skill is maxed. Which, if you have upwards of a week ./played at 80, is a non-issue. Not so much if you've just gotten 27 free levels.

I was actually referring to the Outlands Raid bosses and since he IS under level 80, they would probably crush the poop out of him. sorry I didn't specify. :-(
