Indigon

Indigon is a unique . 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, similar 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.

Snapshot

Spells that deal damage over time will snapshot their damage on cast. Therefore the % increased spell damage they had when casted will last their entire duration. The longer the duration of the damage, the less often the player needs to spend mana to deal damage. For example:

• A character has 50% increased skills effect duration and on the enemy with 65% increased curse effect. (40 x 1.65 = 66%) (1 x 1.5 = 1.5) (1.5 / .33) = 4.5 times the debuff duration.
• and are debuffs that have longer durations. (6 x 4.5) = 27 seconds on vaal blight. (3.8 x 4.5) = 17.1 seconds on essence drain.
• If the character doesn't have enough mana to cast essence drain after spending a lot of it to boost indigon spell damage, use one of the zero mana cost options listed above the moment before you cast essence drain for maximum damage.
• There are many benefits to not having to spend a large amount of mana for 17 or 27 seconds. You can use mind over matter and/or arcane cloak to take advantage of the defensive benefits of your unused mana. The mana can also be used to temporarily reserve auras after all your damage over time has already been applied. Remember to remove the aura later if you use 100% of your mana for boosting spell damage.
