Indigon is a unique Hubris CircletHubris CircletEnergy Shield: (80-92)Requires Level 69, 154 Int. It is a Shaper item & Elder item.

Mechanics

• Recently means the last 4 seconds.
• The mana cost modifier has no cap.
• Sacrificed mana or toggle skill's mana reservation does not count as spent mana.
• For the purposes of effects like Supreme Decadence, all life recovery related to a mana flask's usage while you have Indigon equipped comes from Indigon, not the flask. This means the amount of life recovered is not scaled by "increased life recovery from flasks" modifiers, nor will it be gained as Energy Shield while under the effects of Supreme Decadence or Sorrow of the Divine, but it will be affected by modifiers to Life Recovery rate.
• "Recover (8-10)% of life when you use a Mana Flask" is not affected by Life Recovery Rate modifiers because it is instant recovery, akin to life gain on hit effects or instant flasks. While this has the downside of preventing you from scaling the recovery amount, it also prevents negative modifiers such as the Smothering map modifier, and the debuff applied by The Maven's spinning beams in her boss fight, from affecting this recovery, making it remarkably consistent.

High mana cost

Indigon's high mana cost can make you run out of mana. There are ways to do damage when you don't have mana.

• Totems will continue to cast your spells even after you run out of mana.

Snapshot
