Mana Surge Spellblade (0.8.5) Mind Over Matter in LE
Mana Surge Spellblade (0.8.5) Mind Over Matter in LE
No life, no ward, and yet one of the tankiest builds I've ever played. Slapping a Bastion on this build is possible, but you do NOT need that much defense even in Hardcore.
This video covers multiple topics: the the "unintended interaction" of Surge + Static, the foundation of the Mana Defense, the progression of my build over time, and then the build as a whole. Use the chapters to jump around the YT video.
Potential bugfixes to watch out for:
(1) Surge proc'ing Static's Discharge. Does it still bypass the cooldown and mana cost?
(2) Ranged Mana Strike does not currently reduce the Mana Gain on Crit in Mana Strike, but it does reduce the Mana Gain on hit from the base skill. If this changes, mana gain might feel insufficient.

Math for Mana Defenses, from 7:30 in the video:
(In both scenarios, assume 1000 life and 60% Endurance)
Scenario 1:
if u have 1000 life then you take 500 dmg
(without endurance threshold)
250 damage goes to our mana,
then the 5:1 ratio is applied
so your mana goes down by 50
and life goes down by 250
Scenario 2:
if u have 1000 life then you take 500 dmg
(with endurance threshold)
60% damage reduction applies first.
100 damage goes to our mana,
then the 5:1 ratio is applied,
so your mana goes down by 20
and life goes down by 100
