Is there a "sweet spot" for mana reservation for Mind over Matter and Divine Guidance?

Starting a Hierophant Templar build and wanting ti utilize both the key stone, Mind over Matter and Divine Guidance.

As a general rule is there a preferred minimal amount of mana you should have reserved to enable MOM + DG to be as effective as possibel?

Thanks!

It depends on how much life and mana you have, and also on your means of recovering them.

The more mana you are able to recover compared to life, the smaller you can leave your unreserved mana to still compensate for the damage that you take from it.

For the best protection against onehits, your unreserved mana should be at least

(life / (100% - MoM + DG + similar effects) ) - 100%

or more specifically in your case

(life / 60%) - 100% = ~66.7% life

If you have rather low mana recovery and are able to recover your life more easily, you should consider having a larger mana pool so that you can survive a second hit like that before your mana recovers to full.

If your mana recovery is considerably higher than your life recovery, you can consider using The Agnostic if you also do not have significant investment into energy shield. That way, you recover life considerably more quickly and can make sure that you are not onehit again as frequently.

Wow thanks for such a detailed reply.
