Hmm. I understand your logic. Maybe I should rephrase it to 'who uses Mana Shield to the fullest extent.'

How mana shield works? What is the % of dmg that goes to MP ?

Pures benefit the most from mana shield due to having such low health that they need it, but hybrids are more powerful with mana shield due to their increased health on top of the mana shield.

If mana shield absorbed 100% damage to mana, then yeah, pures would be the best, but alas.


yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hybrid win.

is there X-large pot in ksro ? cause sby told me there wasn't..that would make a huge difference in isro ..

LOL of course we have nice juicy bigggggg pots in ksro lol...

The lvl 80 mana shield (will b max for isro) is 50% absorbsion so think about this... NAKED lvl 80 pure int have 4732 hp while int hybrid (1:2) have 8555 hp... now say some one does 2k of dmg (average dmg)... the shield would make it half of the normal dmg thus the nuker would take 1k dmg(appro.) and the int be left with 3.7k and the hybrid would have 7.5k...

REGARDING WORST CASE SCENARIOS... If the opponent gets lucky and gets a double crit with sst and gsm then it would be about 4k each so with a bit of recovering in between the hits the pure would have 1.5k left b4 potting after the hits while the hybrid would have about 5k left with the added inbetween healing... yes pure int ... without the hp passives and other adding hp stuff ur still dead...

So adding some str and hp comes in... now the nuker has about 6-11k of hp and the hybrid has 11k-14k...lol only about 3-4k difference :p the pure nuker still has about 10k of hp ... so now pure int nearly tank as much as hybrid with 30-40 extra str...so why do you need to reduce ur power for hp when (unless u got a lot of HP/str adding stuff and HP passives) ur FINE


WOWWWWW I THINK I ZONED IN AND OUT OF MY TOPIC THERE LOL.. sry about my messiness.... But yea CONCLUDING MY MESS ... max mana shield is 50% for isro cap and unless int get sum xtra hp they will still die fast...so if ur poor and dont like alchemy and would risk suffering dmg for tanking ability get hybrid ... if u can afford alll of that hp adding stuff then go pure like me ( I have experimented with this skill for a while.. thats the bg for my info :p)

Hope this helps

However if I am able to kill a nuker my level now, with skills that are behind, in 2 shots. I am not scared that I wont be able to kill them anymore even with new mana shield.

well imo pures need more def and hybrids need more dmg. So pures would benefit most from mana-shield and hybrids should stay fire for the extra dmg.
Besides any hybrid using mana shield would still have to be close to pure so his mp won't drain. Or a lot of +mp/+int would prob do the trick too
