Mana Siphon monster modifier, Changes and ways to counteract it.

Monster modifier that provides Mana Siphon ring needs ways to counteract it.


"Siphon" should be treated as Leech from the player.
In that case adding methods such as "Enemies Cannot leech [x] from you" sources to the game will help.
Instead of what it is now, an unmitigable drain on the player.

These modifiers can be found on Bloodless Notable for Life, but there is no Mana variation.

"Enemies Cannot leech Mana from you"
This should be added to the top right of the passive tree.
This can be gotten through 2 Unique items, Mindspiral and The Vertex.
I have Tested this. They do not work.


I understand you can just "Stand in the middle" but there are times where monsters can appear out of nowhere, such as breach, beyond, strongboxes, etc, that give no reaction time to the player to mitigate it through play. Such as leaving, playing safe, or walking into the middle.

Safely saying I am one of the few players who is using and balancing the use of the Foulborn Esh's Visage unique shield, to not be on low mana, I am constantly reminded of this ... oh so common monster modifier, and why I no longer want to play the build I want to play.
