Energy Shield

PATCH 20261101.12026-11-02T07:17:50.548Z

Your mana takes 35% of every hit instead of your life, at most 400 mana a hit.

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Synergies and practical checks

• It takes its share of a hit after your resistances, Absorb and Damage Reduced, from the mana in your globe. Once the mana runs dry, hits reach your life until it refills. Poison goes past it.
• Your skills spend no mana, so the shield has all of it, items’ +Mana included. It refills whole in 120 seconds, faster with Warmth and items’ Regenerate Mana. A Refilling Shrine or a Full Rejuvenation Potion fills it at once.
• Items’ Mana Stolen Per Hit and Mana after each Kill refill it too, as in Diablo II.
• Diablo II’s mana potions are hers alone. Monsters, barrels and urns leave them beside the healing potions, as Diablo II’s potions drop, and Akara sells them: 43 to every 100 healing potions in Nightmare, Hell and the Terror tiers, where each is a Super Mana Potion. One fills the shield by its mana, 2 times it for her as in Diablo II: 500 for a Super Mana Potion. Walked onto with the shield full, it goes into the belt; drink it with 1-4.
• Each point of life it saves costs 1 mana, and 0.38 with Telekinesis learned to level 3. Items’ +skills on Telekinesis don’t count.
• No hit costs it more than 400 mana, 150 with Telekinesis at level 3, however hard it lands, so it takes its share of the biggest hits for as long as your mana lasts, more mana lasting longer. Diablo II’s has no such cap.
