% Damage Taken Goes to Mana

Hey all,
I was wondering, does this mod actaully reduce the amount of damage you take by x%, or does it only give you x% mana back, but you still take full damage. A related question, does this mod work for mercs as well?

Thanks!

you still take the damage, but you get that much mana.

and mercs don't use mana, so it's irrelevant

It might actually work because mercs do use mana they just have an infinite mana pool that is not displayed

I'm pretty sure its not infinite, i'm pretty sure its 0/0. Infinity is kind of a hard number for computers to compute with

Regardless, it doesnt reduce damage, so all it'd do would be changing a value that has no effect in the game. Might as well be % Damage to Donuts on your merc.

if merc'd had infinite mana pool, your pc would have blown up. they dont have mana pool at all, they special attacks do not use mana, only factor when its trigger thats matter.

how ever, saying all of this, if your merc has mana leech, he ll still get animation as if his replenishing his mana pool, but do not be fooled, he doesnt have it.

Re: % Damage Taken Goes to Mana

one thing to note, damage taken to mana is applied after energy shield...

so if you have 100% damage taken to mana, 95% absorbing energy shield, and you get hit for 100 damage, you only gain 5 mana back.

Re: % Damage Taken Goes to Mana

Wait... what?! I was always under the impression that % Damage Taken goes to Mana was an energy shield-like stat, negating damage to life by subtracting it from your mana pool, not adding damage to you take to it.

I guess you learn something new everyday, but I could have sworn I've seen something somewhere talking about how %DtgtM interacts with the Energy Shield skill, suggesting that they do the same or similar function. Has this ever been like this and was it changed heavily in a patch or am I just way off?

Always been working like this.

Otherwise non-caster ppl wouldn't be using ber ber CoA, they'd be using Nightsmoke ^^
