We are discussing the BLOOD MAGIC keystone passive that makes your max mana 0. lo, yeah, I totally missed the word "node". Thought it was about bloodmagic in general. But then: Why was the question even asked? You might make it work with one aura on softcore, but at least 40% less for an aura is too much of a downside for a complete life based build. If you want to do anything with % reserved on blood magic it can only possibly be functional with the blood magic gem but not with the keystone. | ||

Literally no auras in the game cost more than 36% WITHOUT REDUCED MANA when you take blood magic since you get a 40% less node there too. So 26% with reduced mana. I mean yes its never gonna be worth it to run auras since if you got like every node on the tree you are still spending way too much but once again you are way off base. Also you are wrong the only way to feasibly do % reserved on blood magic is Prism Guardian since the GEM has a 200% multiplier (enjoy that 120% reserved aura lol). Back to the original question: The point to the Blood Magic node is to run a build with no auras, but really high mana costs while staying in the bottom part of the tree. The point to the node behind it is GGG are pretty stupid. | ||

I'm pointing out that this quote of yours couldn't be more wrong  E: I suppose it could be more wrong. But it is already VERY wrong. The only way to reasonably reserve %based auras on your life is with prism guardian. Unless you are doing Low-Life builds which require a Shavronnes Wrappings to be HC or map-viable. | ||

Does shocked amplify puncture damage btw? It would definitely amplify puncture damage if they're shocked on your first hit, but I'm not sure about post-hit shocking. Shock amplifies searing bond damage, so it might amplify puncture damage. | ||

Also I personally absolutely don't want to die with my Domination char which is already close to lvl 86. Dying makes me lose like 4 hours already. My char is pretty tanky (5,2k hp atm), might work on HC too, but I personally don't want to do it in such a long league. I'd play weekly races though, that's still fun (though last time I also lost 2 chars due to disconnect there...; bit of own fault since I disced both times when my internet was sure to go down anyway). | ||

Shock amplifies searing bond damage, so it might amplify puncture damage. Shock stacks are checked when you take damage which is why every instance of searing bond damage gets the shock bonus. If you take damage and have one stack it'll give the damage a 1.3 multiplier(30% more damage). The attack that shocks you doesn't benefit from that stack of shock. The scaling on puncture is also deceptive since you can't use any traditional support gems on it like added fire damage or multistrike. It might have more base damage than other skills, but that is because you can't actually increase bleed damage very easily. I would suggest adding knockback or chance to flee so you can force movement. It's main use would be like how people use viper strike currently, but I'm guessing the dps on it is vastly inferior to viper strike. | ||

I'm curious what generic whites we get. I'm pretty tempted to go rustic sash + gnarled branch and just groundslam groundslam groundslam | ||
