Scold's Brittle + Zerphi's Last Breath dead? Nope.

I just noticed Scold's self dmg taken doesnt work with blood Magic anymore. So no more nice interaction with Zerphis and MoM?


But with dmg taken gained as mana from sources like Praxis, Victario's Flight and Spirited Response it should be possible to do the trick again?


Assume 1000 mana spent/ skill:

= Scold's 400% dmg taken = 4000 dmg taken
= Zerphi's 800% gained = 8000 life gained
________________________

= +4000 life gained / skill AND -1000 mana
with 25% of dmg taken gained as mana

= 4000 dmg *0.25 = 1000 mana
________________________

= -1000 mana used + 1000 mana gained = no mana costs



in the end you would be able to take 4000 physical damage to proc cwdt WITH "NEW" Scolds and heal up with 4000 (8000) life with Zerphis.



The only problem is to balance mana usage to keep up zerphis mana flask.

FINALLY ??????

This should ideally have been in patch notes, but appears to have been missed. The Mod on Scolds has changed to care about the amount of Mana spent, not the Mana Cost of the skill. This will mean it doesn't work unless you actually spend mana.

Thats a big problem since once you leech full mana zerphis stops working and next cast or second next will kill you. Not to mention you have to wear that terrible gear to leech mana and like 8 fevered minds instead of 3 like before. Finally you need a huge mana pool like 3-4K to get cycle going.
