Energy Shield Question - What's killing me?

GGG should make caustic unusable on 1 life, otherwise noobs are going to do this forever.

But isn't that half the fun?

Maybe something like "Lose Life equal to 15% of Mana Recovered."
Yeah, that should do it.

Yeah when you actually read the mods it's perfectly clear what will happen so I don't think GGG have to go any further. It basically says in plain English it'll kill ya if you have 1 life.

But then again, who goes around checking the mods on their mana pots? For me it's not like I designed them for a purpose, I'm just using them to level up. I just used the first 4 sanctified mana pots I found without caring what they were.

I guess 20+ deaths later, it seems a little more important now...

You should also see "[character name] Committed Suicide" instead of "[character name] Has Been Slain".

That was hilarious the first time I saw it. I thought it was because I died three times in a row trying to kill the same boss. Then I realized my flasks were killing me! =P
