The Agnostic

The Agnostic

Keystone

Maximum Energy Shield is 0
While not on Full Life, Sacrifice 20% of Mana per Second to Recover that much Life [1]

Put your faith in intellect rather than mysticism.

The Agnostic is a keystone passive skill that removes your energy shield and drains mana per second to recover your life while you are not at full life.

This skill node is essential for the Mana before Life defensive technique, provided you have enough Mana recovery to maintain it.

Mechanics

"Full Life" is used in the literal sense, rather than the "no Life left to recover" sense used by flasks. If you have any Life reserved, you will sacrifice Mana continuously even if your unreserved Life is full.

While at full life and taking damage over time, the mana sacrificed will be equal to the total life lost per second, up to the maximum of 20% of your mana.

Life Recovery Rate will affect the recovery of the Agnostic Keystone, but it will not affect the loss of mana at all.

Location

The Agnostic is located on the far left side of the skill tree, to the west of the Templar's starting point.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.11.0	Timeless Jewel Keystone passives have become a popular feature for many builds, but are prohibitively difficult to acquire (especially without trade). We've moved some of the most build-defining Keystones out of the Timeless Jewels and into the tree itself. These Keystones have been added to the tree: The Agnostic, Glancing Blows, Supreme Ego, Wind Dancer and Eternal Youth. Timeless Jewels -- New keystones have been added to replace the five that are now available on the passive skill tree. The new ones are: The Traitor, Supreme Ostentation, Chainbreaker, Transcendence, Immortal Ambition. Existing Timeless Jewels will retain the old keystones, but if you reroll them with a Divine Orb they will be able to reveal these new keystones.
