Strategy

The advantages to being low life:

The disadvantages for being low life:

  • Energy shield has fewer recovery method. It cannot be recovered through flask, and energy shield recharge can be interrupted by taking damage. Zealot's Oath is often used in order for life regeneration to apply to energy shield.
  • Visibility in low light level areas is largely affected by light radius, which is based on current percentage of your maximum life. Low life build has low light radius due to often reserving 50~99% of their life. Energy Shield Mastery is often used to make light radius based on energy shield instead of life.
  • Energy shield leech has maximum total recovery per second at 10% of your maximum energy shield, which is half of what life has. Ghost Reaver is often used to double maximum total energy shield recovery per second from Leech.
  • Stun threshold and duration is calculated based off the your maximum life. Some low life builds have very low maximum life, causing them to get stunned often with long duration or even stun locked. Method to avoid stun locked, immunity to stun or make stun threshold based on other source are often used. Common method include Pantheon Soul of the Brine King, ascendancy notable such as Vile Bastion, uniques such as Valyrium and Skyforth, etc.

Trivia

Since version 0.9.6, the player light changes to noticeably reddish over the 33% - 37% range[confirmation needed because of 3.14 change] to make it easier to judge when the condition applies.

Version history

Version Changes
3.21.0
  • Add a new Life Mastery: You count as on Low Life while at 55% of maximum Life or below
3.14.0
  • The Low threshold for Life, Mana and Energy Shield is now 50% or below (previously below 35%). This means that a single 50% reservation will now put you into a Low state. Light radius has been adjusted accordingly.
0.9.6
  • The light radius reduction that occurs when on low life indoors has been changed so that it is more appropriate for players who care about the "when on low life" abilities.
Before 0.9.6
  • Introduced to the game.
