Guild Wars 2

I notice I was taking damage on evades/dodges, and wonder why, so I turn only these 2 options on.

Incoming Damage
Incoming Mitigated Damage

While they were on, I saw that I dodge many times just fine, but, but there where times were I dodge/evade (The combat log said I evaded) and still took damage (the combat log also said I took the damage)

So my combat log would look something like this. (using Lupi as an example)

“You evade Giant Lupis Mighty Kick”
“Giant Lupis hits you for 10k using Mighty kick”

So on screen it said evade, and in log it said evade, but I also took the damage.

Also, there are times I would evade and it didnt say evade. It said “Absorb”.

“You absorb Giant Lupi Might kick”
Sometimes I would take the damage and other times I wouldnt.

My 2 questions now are:

What is Absorb meaning when you “dodge” an attack?
Why do I take damage from an Evaded attack?
