Bug Reports (Path of Exile 1) - Labyrinth Traps and Eldritch Battery - Forum

I don't know if it's intended, but when Eldritch Battery is equipped, traps in the Labyrinth deal damage to your health counting your energy shield as part of it, which seems very off since they can almost insta-kill you if you have any sort of decently high ES-to-mana compared to your health.

Do you have MoM also? If not, then this definitely seems screwy. It is one thing for trap damage to be calculated this way when ES is over Life, but when it is over mana, and you don't have MoM, then this seems silly. U MAD?	Posted by Docbp87#4179 on Dec 19, 2016, 2:18:53 PM Quote this Post
Traps deal damage based on your Life and ES. Where that ES applies is not relevant; it's still ES.	Posted by Vipermagi#0984 on Dec 19, 2016, 2:51:29 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post

Would be good to have a GGGer clarify the issue if possible, since that seems weird if it's the case for that to work as it does now.

To quote the 2.3.0 patch notes: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1667259 " Environmental traps in the labyrinth now calculate a player's life differently for determining damage. This was previously the total of a player's maximum life and Energy Shield. Now Energy Shield counts as 60% of its value for this purpose. Only Energy Shield covering life is counted. This was determined to be the best ratio applicable to the wide variety of Energy Shield based builds that exist.	Posted by Joker#5185 on Dec 19, 2016, 3:52:56 PM Quote this Post
Right, I'm using MoM, but no damage from traps is taken from the ES, which makes it quite counter-intuitive.	Posted by GhostwheelX#7811 on Dec 19, 2016, 5:31:35 PM Quote this Post

Can definitely confirm something is up with Labyrinth Traps and Eldritch Battery. Was taking scary amounts of damage on an EB build, and 2.3.0 patch notes say that this should be a bug. It's quite obvious especially if I'm not using a 20% reduced DoT damage taken shield. As for above, Mind over Matter does not protect your life pool from degen effects. All damage over time will only affect your life pool if you have EB Last edited by TheuberClips#2320 on Dec 19, 2016, 8:23:28 PM	Posted by TheuberClips#2320 on Dec 19, 2016, 8:19:50 PM Quote this Post
So is this working as intended, or something to be fixed in a future patch?	Posted by GhostwheelX#7811 on Dec 23, 2016, 6:48:49 AM Quote this Post
Bump, any GGGers out there? Could we get this fixed at some point in the not-so-distant future, or at least get it on a to-do list for some future patch?	Posted by GhostwheelX#7811 on Dec 26, 2016, 9:34:49 AM Quote this Post
