Life

Life is shown as a red orb in the lower left of the screen and will decrease as you receive damage. Characters die when they reach 0 life and must be resurrected in town. You can restore life by using flasks, gaining life regeneration from passive skills and equipment, or leeching life from enemies. Life is fully restored when you enter a town.

Every class starts out with 50 Life, and gains +8 per level giving a base life of 842 at level 100. Strength increases Life, with every +10 node giving +5 Life. Characters do not begin with any life regeneration, but it is available from gear and passive skills.

   Maximum Life = (42 + (Level * 8) + (Strength / 2) + additive modifiers) * (100% + multiplicative modifiers) 

Additive modifiers are added directly to your base life (+x to maximum life). Multiplicative modifiers apply to additive modifiers as well as base life and strength (+x% increased maximum life). See Modifiers.

Passives

There are passive skill nodes that grant additional life or a combination of bonuses including life. Other passives such as Life Regeneration and Life Leech are related to life, but do not increase maximum life.

The Chaos Inoculation Keystone will reduce your Life to one, nullifying any low-life spell damage bonuses, as well as any increased life or life regen passives taken. Pain Attunement will increase your spell damage if your Life is at or below 35% (this can be achieved through Blood Magic and reserves). Blood Magic removes your Mana, letting you use your Life to cast spells.

Please see the Minions page for information on Minion Life and the passives associated with them. Passives also exist which will increase the amount of Life regained from Flasks, as seen here.

Recommendations

The following is recommended:

• At least 1 million damage per second
• Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%); additional Maximum Cold Resistance is also useful for Shaper balls.
• At least 5,000 combined Life and Energy Shield and a reliable source of recovery
• Moderate mitigation or avoidance, including Physical damage reduction, Armour, Block, Spell Suppression
• Movement skill to avoid Shaper's slams and beams

The fight consists of multiple phases. Before the Shaper encounter begins, the player must defeat four side bosses at the nexus. After that a portal opens to the Shaper's arena. The Shaper himself has three phases. At the end of the first and second phases he banishes Zana and the player to a passage while he heals up. The players must traverse the passage and return to the arena to begin the next phase. The Shaper recovers health slowly between phases.

Skills

Image	Skills	Details
	Default Attack	The Shaper lashes out at the player, dealing Physical damage He only uses it while in melee range. Effects: Deals 100% of damage 33% more Attack Speed
	Shaper Beam (Spell)	The Shaper charges up his spell and then unleashes an extremely powerful beam that deals heavy damage over time if the player is hit by it. The Shaper fires the beam aiming at the player, and once fired, the beam does NOT rotate to target the player The player must dash away or run away from the beam area to avoid taking damage The beam lasts for 3 seconds If players touch it, the beam does ALL of the following: Deals 5384 Fire damage per second Deals 4405 Cold damage per second Deals 6057 Lightning damage per second
	Projectiles/Balls (Spell)	The Shaper fires 3 golden orbs consecutively, dealing massive cold damage if they hit the player. The projectiles accelerate as they travel Each ball will deal: Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold damage Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance
	Teleport Slam (Attack)	The Shaper disappears into the void, then teleports to the player and slams the ground, dealing massive damage. To avoid this attack: Players must notice that the Shaper is about to Slam and be ready to dodge when he reappears Fast movement speed and travel skills help with avoiding the attack If players are anywhere within the purple circle, they will be dealt heavy damage: Deals 300% of damage 50% less Attack Speed
	Volatile Anomalies/Vortex (Spell)	Slow-moving grey balls that seek the player appear from the edges of the arena Once the ball touches the player, it will create a vortex on the ground, that deals heavy cold damage over time if players stand within it Players must attract the balls to the edges of the arena to prevent them from restricting mobility and combat space Each vortex lasts for 25 seconds Each vortex will be removed once the phase ends
	Monster Portal	The Shaper teleports to the side of the arena, opens a monster portal and becomes invulnerable The portal will spawn various kinds of shaped monsters, one at a time for about 25 seconds The monsters will exit the portal and attack Zana and the player. Players must simply kill the monsters to prevent her from dying If Zana is successfully protected, the portal is closed If she loses all her health, she retreats and slowly recovers health, while recovering she will be unable to create her protective bubble shield (see below) This is the only time in the fight when Zana is vulnerable to damage
	Bullet Hell (Spell)	The Shaper disappears from the arena and becomes invulnerable during this attack The Shaper fills the arena with purple "bullet" projectiles that deal heavy damage The intended way to escape this is to stay within Zana's protective red bubble When this attack is about to end, Shaper will usually fire a beam while there are some projectiles still on the arena Each bullet will deal: Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold damage Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance 11 additional Projectiles
	Zana's Bubble	Once per phase Zana will create a protective bubble shield Players are encouraged to stand in the bubble to avoid the Shaper's attacks (typically the Bullet Hell attack) Staying anywhere in the bubble's hemisphere will protect the player, even if the character is almost at the edge of it A Vortex can still spawn during this and restrict movement within the bubble

The Nexus

The map of the Nexus area, with 4 boss portals visible on the corners

The entry area is X shaped and contains four paths, each leading to a boss that must be killed before a portal in the middle opens. The bosses are four randomly-chosen map bosses. After they are killed, the Shaper fight can begin.

The 4 bosses will be a random selection from the following:

• The Cursed King (Dark Forest)
• God's Chosen and The Hallowed Husk (Palace)
• Eater of Souls (Core)
• Tyrant (Colonnade)
• Ambrius, Legion Slayer (Colosseum)
• The Infernal King (Caldera)
• Piety the Empyrean (Shrine)
• Shadow of the Vaal (Maze)
• Merveil, the Reflection and Merveil, the Returned (Legacy Mineral Pools)
• Penitentiary Incarcerator (Dungeon)
• Fire and Fury (Lava Chamber)
• Shock and Horror (Legacy Torture Chamber)
• Spinner of False Hope (Arachnid Nest)
• Olof, Son of the Headsman (Pit)
• The Goddess (Plaza)

Nightmare Manifest (Transformed Piety from Malformation) no longer spawns as a possible boss.

Phase Mechanics

The main Shaper arena with the Shaper and Shaper Beam (top right), Vortex portals on the ground (center), and Zana (bottom center)

An example of the passageway section that players must traverse between phases

You are prevented from opening portals to your hideout while in the Shaper's arena.

Phase	Attacks
Phase One	Default Attack Shaper Beam Projectiles Teleport Slam Monster Portal Vortex
Phase Two	All attacks from previous phases Bullet Hell Vortex Occurs more often than in phase 1.
Phase Three	All attacks from previous phases Vortex Occurs significantly more often than in the previous phases. Potentially makes most of the arena unsafe and leaves very little room for maneuvering. Clone An invulnerable, spectral clone that uses one of the Shaper attacks and then disappears.

Between Phases

Between each of the Shaper phases, Zana and the player must traverse an area filled with monsters and kill a boss at its end. These areas use randomly-chosen tilesets, and appear to be thin, floating islands in a sea of stars. At the end there is a boss that players must defeat, after which a portal opens up that returns players to the main arena.

The bosses at the end are based on Riftwalker from the Laboratory MapLaboratory MapMap Level: 69

• The Uncreated is the boss between phase 1 and phase 2. It has the same skill set as Riftwalker.
• The Unshaped is the boss between phase 2 and phase 3. He is similar to The Uncreated but also fires a volley of Frostbolts in quick succession every once in a while.

The Shaper slowly regenerates his health during this time, so it's recommended to reach the end as quickly as possible. Once The Uncreated/Unshaped is killed, this regeneration stops, and the intermission phase is complete.

Lore

See also: Memory Fragment (Atlas of Worlds), Book of Memories, and Cavas, Forgotten Spirit#Plot

The Shaper is the creator of the Atlas of Worlds and was the main antagonist of the Atlas of Worlds expansion. The Shaper's real name is Valdo Caeserius, and is the father of Zana Caeserius. Zana assists the player during the battle with the Shaper and constantly implores him to stop fighting and join her, but he refuses.

The Synthesis league also expanded the backstory of the Shaper and his construction of the map device.

Historical

Path of Exile has gone through multiple expansions since the Shaper was introduced, and as such mechanics that used to pertain to him no longer exist, or were modified.

Background information about the Shaper was written in the Book of Memories, which was filled as the exile collected his Memory Fragments from Elder-influenced zones.

Voice actor

The Shaper is voiced by New Zealand actor, Daryl Habraken.

Can you stop them before they bring ruin to Oriath? Featuring 5 new endgame boss encounters, powerful rewards (including new currency), and new ways to modify your Atlas. We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds. The Elder, Shaper, and combined Elder and Shaper encounters can still be accessed. If you're lucky, Zana may offer a Shaper or Elder guardian's map! The health value of the Shaper has been adjusted.

Zana has 50% more life during the Shaper encounter. The grace period when re-entering the Shaper encounter mid-fight has been reduced to 3 seconds.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.

Life Gain on Hit

When an enemy is hit by your attack, you gain an amount of life equal to combined life gain on hit bonuses from passives and all other sources. This applies to each enemy hit by your attacks, so a single attack that hits multiple targets can trigger more than one life gain on hit effect. Unlike life leech, life gained this way is restored instantly.

These passives add a set amount of life gain on hit to attacks.

Blood Magic

Keystone

Removes all mana
10% more maximum Life
Skills Cost Life instead of Mana
Skills Reserve Life instead of Mana [1]

Lay open your veins, and draw power from your own spilled life.

Blood Magic (often referred to as BM) is a keystone passive skill that converts all mana cost and reservation to use life instead. It also gives you more maximum life and removes your mana.

Mechanics

Skills that reserve mana will reserve life and skills that cost mana will cost life instead. Mods that affect mana cost and mana reservation such as X% increased/reduced Mana Cost of Skills, + X to Total Mana Cost of Skills and X% increased/reduced Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills have no effect on the life cost and life reservation of skills. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic.

If taken with Eldritch Battery, your energy shield will continue to protect mana but will not be spent.

While you have Blood Magic, you are neither at full mana nor low mana.

Taking this keystone along with Sanguimancy from Warlock of the Mists will provide the 50% increased Life Reservation Efficiency of Skills stat, but otherwise impart no additional benefit.

Location

Blood Magic is located in the bottom left corner of the tree.

Chaos Inoculation

Keystone

Maximum Life becomes 1, Immune to Chaos Damage [1]

Give up everything in pursuit of greatness - even life itself.

Chaos Inoculation (often referred to as CI) is a keystone passive skill that grants immunity to chaos damage, but sets maximum life to 1.

Although the character must survive entirely on energy shield instead of life, immunity to chaos damage can be a significant advantage.

Interactions

The chance and duration of both being stunned and receiving an elemental status ailments is based on your maximum life before CI takes effect. Maximum Life modifiers such as increased maximum Life, reduced maximum Life, etc. apply to the life before CI is applied. Since this base life value is then overwritten by CI, the only advantage life modifiers provide to a CI character is the reduction on stun and status ailment thresholds.

Low life conditions will never take effect while CI is enabled. Effects such as Pain Attunement and On Low Life mods on gear will not activate. For these effects, you must have 50% or less of your current maximum life. Chaos Inoculation sets your maximum life to 1. The exception to this is if you have Coward's LegacyCoward's Legacy

Chaos resistance reduction/penetration

Since CI grants a flat-out immunity to chaos damage, effects that reduce or penetrate chaos resistance (i.e. Occultist's Void Beacon) have no effect against CI.

Being Poisoned

Being Immune to Chaos Damage means that Chaos Damage cannot inflict poison (to the entity immune to chaos damage), although physical damage can still inflict poison.

CI builds

It is generally best to wait until you have high energy shield before taking CI because it's much easier to survive on life at lower levels. Don't be afraid to take life passive skills for survivability while leveling up, since you can remove them later.

Characters with CI are usually more susceptible to stun and status ailments because of their low base life. Rather than taking otherwise useless life nodes as described above, Stun can be mitigated by obtaining Stun Immunity (e.g Vile Bastion), stacking Chance to Avoid Stuns, or through niche items such as SkyforthSkyforth

Chaos Inoculation works well with some other keystone passives, such as:

• Ghost Reaver converts sources of life leech into energy shield leech, at the cost of disabling ES recharge.
• Zealot's Oath applies life regeneration to energy shield. The amount recovered is based on the same % of your max ES, rather than your max life. Flat regeneration recovers the same amount. Note that "regeneration" does not include life flasks, as they are just "Recovery".
• Divine Shield can provide a large amount of regeneration to builds that also stack large amounts of Armour and Physical Damage Reduction.
• Ghost Dance can instantly recover ES on builds that have a decent amount of Evasion, at the cost of capping your energy shield by your evasion rating.
• Wicked Ward can be used by builds relying on recharge, sacrificing some recharge rate for uninterruptible recharge.

Location

Chaos Inoculation is located on the northeast edge of the skill tree.

Mind Over Matter

Keystone

40% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life [1]

While the mind endures, so too will the body.

Mind Over Matter (often referred to as MoM) is a keystone passive skill that allows the character's mana to absorb a portion of the damage dealt to life. It is an essential part of the Mana before Life defensive technique.

Mechanics

Main page: Mana before Life

40% of the damage that would be inflicted on the character's life is deducted from mana instead. If the character has insufficient mana, then the remainder of the damage will be taken from life.

Damage is applied to energy shield before life, and as a result there is no opportunity for any damage to be absorbed by mana. Mind Over Matter is therefore rendered useless in conjunction with the Chaos Inoculation keystone.

When the passive skill Eldritch Battery is allocated energy shield protects mana instead of life. This energy shield will absorb the converted non-chaos damage before it is applied on mana. Since chaos damage bypasses energy shield the chaos damage will then be applied directly on mana.

Mind Over Matter does not reduce total incoming damage or increase a player's actual life total, and so does not affect the threshold or effectiveness of stun and ailments applied to players.

Mana/Life ratio

For mana to not run out before life the unreserved mana should be at least 67% of unreserved life, granted that 40% of damage is taken from mana before life.

Derivation of the mana/life ratio ▾ [Expand] ▾

Let ${\textstyle \color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}k={X \over 100}}$ be the proportion of damage taken from mana before life. To completely remove all mana, the damage, $\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}dmg$, has to be:

$$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}mana-(k\times dmg)=0$$

(1)

To completely remove all life:

$$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}life-(1-k)\times dmg=0$$

(2)

Solving equation 1 for $\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}dmg$:

$$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}dmg={mana \over k}$$

(3)

3 in 2 gives:

$$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}life-(1-k)\times {mana \over k}=0$$

(4)

Solving 4 for $\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}mana$:

$$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}mana={k \over 1-k}\times life$$

(5)

The ratio ${\textstyle \color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{mana \over life}={k \over 1-k}}$ leads to exactly all life and mana being removed from a one-shot. If the ratio is less, i.e. ${\textstyle \color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{mana \over life}<{k \over 1-k}}$, then mana will have run out before all life is removed.

The table below show the necessary mana/life ratio required for varying amounts of Mind over Matter.
