Life is shown in the lower left of the screen. You can use Flasks to restore it, or invest in passives that give you increased life regeneration, or leech.

Every class starts out with 50 Life, and gains +6 per level giving a base life of 644 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 = (44 + (Level * 6) + (Strength / 2) + "to maximum Life") * (100% + "increased maximum Life")

In the above Strength, "to maximum Life" and "increased maximum Life" can come from equipment and passives.

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.

Life

These passives either add a set amount to a character's maximum life or increase maximum life by a percentage.

Life Leech

The regeneration rate of life gained from life leech is a set rate equal to 20% of maximum life per second. If you have 1000 maximum life, and leech 600 life with a single attack, it will take three seconds for that life to be applied to your current life; if you leech 100 life with a single attack, it will take half a second. You earn the full amount of life leeched upon dealing damage, it is only the rate (as a function of your maximum life) that determines how long it takes to be applied to your current life - if you leech a large amount of life during a battle, you may find that the regeneration continues long after the battle is over. The Vaal Pact Keystone will allow life leech to apply immediately at the cost of life recovery from flasks and regeneration having no effect. Ghost Reaver applies life leech to energy shield instead of life.

Similar to flasks, the regeneration from leech will stop if you reach maximum life.

These passives add life leech to attacks as a percentage of physical damage dealt.

Previously these limited any recovery based on what kind of leech it came from, but they now limit recovery from any leech based on what kind of recovery it is.

For example, the keystone Immortal Ambition makes life leech cause energy shield recovery instead of life recovery. Previously this was limited by 'Maximum total Recovery per second from Life Leech'.

Keystone Passives

These keystone passive are related, but don't add any life leech as a percentage of physical damage.

Template:Passive table header

Vaal Pact
Keystone
Total Recovery per second from Life Leech is doubled
Maximum total Life Recovery per second from Leech is doubled
You have no Life Regeneration [1]
My ancestral pact was sealed. Forevermore, I would gain sustenance only from the ravaged flesh of my enemies.

Vaal Pact is a keystone passive skill that grants doubled life leech speed and maximum life leech rate, but causes life regeneration to have no effect.

Mechanics

Interaction with Zealot's Oath

The Zealot's Oath keystone causes life regeneration to restore energy shield instead of life. Vaal Pact applies before Zealot's Oath however; so taking it along with Zealot's Oath will not grant the character any energy shield regeneration. This will not prevent energy shield from recharging as it normally does. Additionally, it does not prevent other sources of energy shield regeneration, such as Shavronne's RevelationShavronne's Revelation
Moonstone RingRequires Level 30+(15-25) to maximum Energy Shield+(60-75) to Intelligence
Right ring slot: You cannot Regenerate Mana
Right ring slot: Regenerate 6% of Energy Shield per second
Right ring slot: +250 to maximum Mana
Left ring slot: You cannot Recharge or Regenerate Energy Shield
Left ring slot: Regenerate 40 Mana per Second
Left ring slot: +250 to maximum Energy Shield"Shavronne held Sanity in her right
hand and Revelation in her left.
Brutus chose the left hand."
- Kadavrus, Surgeon to the Umbra, as it is specifically energy shield regeneration and not life regeneration converted by Zealot's Oath.

Similarly, Pious Path will not recover any energy shield from life regeneration as it becomes disabled by Vaal Pact.

Location

Vaal Pact is located on the middle layer of the south side, on the east side of the Duelist's area.

Ghost Reaver
Keystone
Leech Energy Shield instead of Life
Maximum total Energy Shield Recovery per second from Leech is doubled
Cannot Recharge Energy Shield [1]
I will wear your ghost, and you will die twice: against me, and for me.

Ghost Reaver is a keystone passive skill that causes the player to leech energy shield instead of life, and doubles the maximum total recovery per second from energy shield leech, with the downside of disabling energy shield recharge.

Mechanics

Ghost Reaver makes any effect that would grant life leech grant ES leech instead, including non-standard sources of life leech, such as Machina MittsMachina Mitts

With at least 1000 Strength, (1.5-2)% of Damage dealt by your Raised Zombies is Leeched to you as Life"The Emperor's trusted surgeons are not the only ones who practice the dark arts. Some of us are just more discreet.". This is not a conversion mechanic; life leech modifiers will not apply to leech altered by this keystone. Only modifiers to ES leech apply.[1]

Maximum total Energy Shield Recovery per second refers to the cap on per-second recovery from all existing leech instances, and is normally 10% of maximum ES. Doubling it happens after increases or reductions.

Location

Ghost Reaver is located on the top-right side of the tree, away from the Shadow's starting area.

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.

Life Gain on Killing Blow

When an enemy is killed by your attack, you gain an amount of life equal to combined life gain on killing blow bonuses from passives and all other sources. This effect triggers once for each enemy killed. Unlike life leech, life gained this way is restored instantly.

These passives add a set amount of life gain on killing blow 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.[1]

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.

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[1]. 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.[2]

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.

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