It's a dumb game mechanic that serves no purpose. I'm glad it's being changed.

I completely agree, you should never be able to kill yourself using a flask/aura/etc.

Why not? Natural selection.

Doesn't sound unfair. Why change it? Skill descriptions, specifically the wording of skill descriptions, not always the best in this game.

For once, the description is perfectly clear though. You saw what it could do, and for some unimaginable reason, you decide to try it, in the Forest Encampment, in the middle of a 2 week HC event.

Suck it up, start over.

The one thing I never got though, is 'why?' in the first place.

I have never seen a flask so good that the 'takes X% from health/mana' was worth it. If I ever see that property roll, I just use an orb to re-roll the stats.

While I agree that this is death caused by a game mechanic, it's actually a mechanic that we've been discussing changing. The flask may fail in the future if there's not enough life.

I urge you to reconsider that. I use a couple flasks that return more health at the cost of mana on my marauder and I would never be able to use them after a change like that. Assuming of course you make it go both ways... If not then go for it.

No, please don't. It's such a fun feature. :)

I do the same thing, I don't understand why you would want to take X and give it to Y to begin with. Lots of other flask mods out there that I can "LIVE" without that one.

Sounds like it's working as intended you killed yourself, no bug or lag just good ol "can't be asked to read" laziness.

One reason ----> Effects on low life.

+60% flask mana is quite a bit of a boost. Of course, like everything else in PoE, it all depends on your character's build.

I died in the race in a really annoying and I think buggy manner. I realize when you zone out on a TP, your character stays in the zone for a few seconds.
So I click on a tp at 75% hp on Vaal oversoul, my screen goes black as I start to transition to the new zone, then I die.
Exiting a zone should be instant.

faster computer/better connection = win.
