Guide:Maintaining low life

Low Life is defined as having 35% or less health remaining. This state can be achieved by reserving 65% (or more) HP. The problem with maintaining that amount of reserved health is whenever you obtain new gear or spend/adjust skill points, you could be modifying your health pool, bringing yourself out of this Low Life state, or causing more health to be reserved than necessary.

Using gems with a flat percent of reserved mana, one can maintain precisely 65% health reserved by supporting it with Reduced Mana Reservation nodes from the Passive Skill Tree, Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blood Magic" and maybe also Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Enlighten" across several permutations.

Below are the permutations for a few reserved mana gem combinations. For the skill gems that can be used look at Skills which reserve mana.
Note: There are eight Reduced Mana Reservation nodes -- six of 4%, one of 6% and one of 8%. These nodes are additive. Combined, they give a 38% multiplier.

Important information: All combinations below result in exactly 65% life reserved. It is nearly always possible, to get low life with different combinations, but reserve a bit more life.

Permutations with 35% reserved mana gem

Within a single row, multiply all the Multiplier columns together, then multiply that number by 35% to get 65%. (Rounding errors may occur.)
