Mana Shield Info

"When Hit, 30% of Damage taken is taken from Mana before Life"

And it's way in the south, away from EB. :D
“Demons run when a good man goes to war"
So, does this work with Blood Magic? Free 30% Damage Reduction? :v
Useless for bm builds since they will be reserving all mana, or most of it, and the pool is small to begin with. I assume if your mana cant take all the 30%, it automatically goes to your hp.

Seems only good for EB / BM builds which generally requires expensive gear to pull off

If you don't have very mana expansive skill it's good to pick up to mitigate damage. Also you can pot against it so even without EB it could be usefull.

Also, just saw animate guardian and I cam a little.

Yeah but if i have 300 mana and i take 1k dmg, I want to know if the 700 goes to life or you just end up with no mana and it still reduces all the 30% away from hp / es

animate guardian = ??

Who was it that said Mana Shield would be "more complex than people expect"? I think this is the most obvious function imaginable

This passive does not work with energy shield, it only works with life.

It is disabled for BM.

If you have no mana then you take all that damage as life instead.

This keystone was a result of me helping design this affix for my upcoming unique. The devs liked it too much to leave it as just a unique and made it a keystone as well. Pretty excited about it tbh!

This is how the keystone should work, let me know if you have any other questions.

by BM i mean classes casting main skill from life with linked gem, and usually have all the mana reserved to percentage auras

If it doesnt work with ES, its useless except with EB / life builds, in which case the trek from EB to MS is huge

meeeh, we will see how it will work out

probably wont be too big a thing to build around, just a gimmick

Oh, I meant the BM keystone. It will work for people using the BM gem as long as they have the mana to take damage. To clarify, that affix is what I designed for my unique, it was just taken as a keystone as well, so we'll see how they turn out!
