Mana before Life

Mana before Life is a game mechanic that allows mana to be used to take damage, increasing effective health.

Mechanics

When taking damage, a percentage of damage that would be dealt to the defender's life is deducted from mana instead. If the character has insufficient current mana to fully take the damage to mana, then the remainder of the damage will be taken to life instead. This effect occurs after almost all other forms of avoidance and mitigation.

Damage taken to energy shield has no interaction with this stat. However, with Eldritch Battery, the damage taken from mana before life will be taken from energy shield first instead. Chaos damage will still bypass energy shield this way.

Although taking mana before life does increase effective health, it does not cause mana to affect the player's thresholds for ailments or stun.

Having sufficient mana recovery is required to prevent rapid hits or damage over time from continually draining mana, preventing skill usage.

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. Other ratios can be found using the following formula. Note that this only applies to a single hit and does not take into account other forms of recovery or damage prevention.

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 maximum mana to maximum life ratio required for varying amounts of Mind over Matter.
