Life Mastery Not Working with The Brass Dome

I could just be mistaken, but The Brass Dome seems to block the Life Mastery, "15% increased maximum Life if there are no Life Modifiers on Equipped Body Armour" node. The only "Life Modifier" I can see is the modifier to Strength which disallows the Life bonus.

I was under the presumption that what this meant was so long as you didn't have "+# to Maximum Life" on your Body Armour which I still believe is the case. I believe The Brass Dome is technically modifying Strength, not Life. So I wouldn't count it as a Life Modifier personally.

Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate what I mean:

This shows my character's life before speccing into the Life Mastery. You can see The Brass Dome as well.

In this screenshot, I spec into the Life Mastery and notice that the Life of my character hasn't changed.


I hope this wasn't intended and if so that it gets fixed sooner than later.

Thanks for your time.

Brass Dome has a life tag (hover and hold the ALT key) so it does not work, not a bug and intended.

That's crazy. Should be an Attribute Modifier in my opinion.

as intended?? More likely an oversite as not only is it NOT GIVING life its actually preventing you from gaining life from an external stat.

They don't tag stuff based on whether it's beneficial or detrimental to you. That's just not relevant at all.

Brass Dome is affecting your base life by blocking the bonus from STR. You have less base life with the chest than you do without it. Base life is the only thing that mod impacts and the only value the mod changes.

The Life tag definitely belongs, as unfortunate as it may be for that Mastery. They could have also slapped an Attribute tag on it simply because it says Strength. But your strength value isn't being modified at all, so it wouldn't really serve a purpose.

Even if you think it shouldn't be there, GGG probably kept it on there specifically to stop this synergy

Its the exact opposite of an oversight, this is clearly 100% intended when they looked at adding the mastery.
