This passive seems to work fine with Eldrich Battery and Acrobatics. In theory, at least.

Unless they changed things, acrobatics removes ES before it can be converted to mana with EB.

Acro has been changed to 50% Less ES (and Armour) a good while ago.

And that buff to 40% dodge has been huge too.

Overall Acro is crazy good.

What about damage from reflect, will it reduce it ?
It should, I think, as it can be blocked/dodged.

Any intent to make Mind over Matter work on Degen later?

Its magic guard stolen from Maple Story but with much reduced effectiveness.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ahh. Okay. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay, really. New to games, are you?

Lol, maple story is 10 years old you do know?

Been playing games for 25 years since the Atari 2600 thanks.

I never played Diablo though.

See, maple story stole magic guard from another game... which stole it from a tabletop game.

Which stole it from some legend.

So I mean... Saying that any mechanic was specifically stolen from maple story is pretty erroneous, considering that there are earlier (and more genre specific) instances.

Diablo and D2 has Energy Shield, which is the same mechanic, and predate maple story. Before them it gets less clear where the mechanic was taken from.

Currently, damage is taken from ES before life. Mind over Matter inserts Mana into that sequence just before life, for 30% of the damage.
So any non chaos damage you take is subtracted from ES first. When you have no ES, 70% of the remainder goes to life, while the other 30% is diverted to mana. When you run out of mana, no damage can be taken from there, and all will go to life.

Well that's a bummer for CI users :/ Can CI have it's 20% more es from Infused Shield back now that the whole Khoms imbalance is fixed? Hybrid life/es users on the other hand can use MoM as a backup for large hits and not have to worry about mana regen in most situations. Time to Think up a MoM GR VP build.

hey, what do you think: how much "open" (non-reserved) mana do you need for MoM to be effective? (I know this dependens a lot of armour,hp etc. etc.) but what do you guess. 1000 open mana? more, less?

can someone tell me if shock/chill/freeze durations and stun chances are lowered by mind over matter?
As far as i know those durations and chances are calculated from the damage dealt to a target compared to the LIFE of this target. MoM doesnt reduce the incomeing damage and doesnt increase the players life, so i guess i doesnt do anything against status ailment/stun?

Hope this isnt true, can someone answer me this question plz?
