Chaos Inoculation + Mind Over Matter (+Sanctuary of Thought) = Invalid?!
|
Heya!
The first thing that came to mind when i saw Sanctuary of Thought "wheel" was to (finally) make a build more to the defensive site instead of the glass-canon shit i've been doing so far, lol. Anyway, my thought was CI + MoM + SoT with The Dark Seer scepter and then go from there. I then found out that CI + MoM is not working together, and it's obviously intentional. Is there any explanation to why MoM is made like this, instead of being a simple mana-first-mechanic? Simplified: What is the point of MoM not working with CI? Cheers.

To give life based casters an extra defensive layer, since the witch area has almost no life nodes.

Wait, mind over matter doesn't work with CI? That doesn't seem right.
There's nothing on the MoM node that references CI, and nothing on the CI node that references MoM. Are you sure they don't work together, OP? |

" That as a reason for it not to work with ES/CI doesn't make any sense to me at all. If MoM was rewritten so it simply removed x% damage from mana first then it would still work as the normal MoM taking mana before life as it does now. But your reason only makes it so much more obvious that the extra defensive layer should be above life AND es. To use your example that the witch has almost no life nodes but easy access to ES - which MoM is basically still useless with? |

" The description of MoM is: "When Hit, 30% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life". I was suprised myself but people on reddit says it's the way it works. Makes sense when reading the way they descripe it. ES has to be gone before life is taking damage.. So it is: ES -> x% mana -> life. Unfortunately.. |

" No, they want you to go MoM OR ES/CI. Giving you access to both at the same time would be way more powerful than what GGG likes. I do think it is plain dumb, since I consider current MoM to be almost worthless (too much investment for something that is outperformed by enfeeble) |
|
" Okay Yea that actually makes sense somehow. But it would require a good amount of investment in passives to make all 3 things useful instead of just speccing into life OR es? It just doesn't make any sense to me to make a Templar ascendancy class which is so obvious for es + MoM and then basically being useless since that combo doesn't even work? |

I thought about ES/CI and Mind Over Matter in the past, too, but just the other day did I see a player in the Sarn Arena who had 20k shields together with Zealot's Oath and an astonishing 28% life regen. His shields recharged with an amazing 6k/sec under damage and then just snapped back to full with the normal shield recharge. I've stopped thinking about Mind Over matter since then ...

" Would require to pump life as well, which is still useless considering the templar ascendancy nodes and still makes CI/MoM unusable.. :/ " Sounds a bit, insane.. Not to mention impossible? :D Even if it would be possible i could imagine the dps being pretty low with such a crazy investment in regen.. Kinda offtopic but pretty cool :p |
