Mind over Matter Percentage = Efficiency?

Hey hey, Banev there.
After Perandus League I've returned. Betrayal is fun, with all new stuff, that I didn't know. Playing right now an stupid overpowered Storm Brand elementalist.
I've bought nice gear out of doing chaos recipe, but I am consented about my defences for endgame content. Done 2/4 elder guardians, gonna get the remaining ones and the elder on t9-t11 maps today after work.
I've died about 3 times to the electrical one, and one time to the green one with vine thingies coming out the floor. So I've decided to take MoM keystone and drop auras besides storm herald. Never played with Mom, so I did a bit of research, and found, that I have to have 43% of my life as unreserved mana for MoM to be effective.

First question: do MoM work against all hits,phys, chaos, elements?
Second question, I've got 5.1k life and 1.8k unreserved mana, It is like 500 mana beneath the 43% mark. Still worth it?

Thx, Banev.

Yes MoM works with all kind of damage.
5100 life + 30% MoM (30% received damage is taken from mana) means your EHP is capped at 5100 + 1530 (30% from 5100 life) = 6630 EHP
You need min 1530 unreserved mana to reach the cap but in fact you need more (mana spent for skills, recovering mana during fight etc).

5100 life + 1800 unreserved mana is fine (you need also decent mana recovery - regen, leech, flasks etc).

Ty for the explanation.
When I read about defences options,I get the impression that 5k life + MoM + capped resists is still to squishy for the "new" bosses like shaper/elder/guardians.
Almost all my chars l90+ where either LL with shavs or CI. Of course with capped resits and decent life /ES leech. I usually build a life fire totem or cheap fast melee build to farm low maps for chaos, then I build something decent for pushing endgame content.
So my question is, are 5k life, 1.8k mana with Mom, 79/79/79 Res (loreweave), no regen or leech (some with atziris flask) is , 45 spell dodge with atziris boots and the dodge keystones (acrobatics) and some practice of course enough for shaper/elder? Hadn't the chance to fight them yet or even the t16 bosses....
Right now, normal atziri, Mastermind l75, 2 elder guardians (one in t8, one in t11) down.
When I read about things like 4+ endurance charges, crazy regen, leech and other defences mechanics, MoM seems pretty weak. But I guess the main defences of my build is the ability to chicken in the corner, and hoping that the dps on storm brand and lighting spire trap is enough to burst most difficult encounters.

With 5.1k health and 1.8k mana and MoM it just means you'll always run oom before you die (not necessarily a bad thing, if your mana recharges faster than life especially)

Btw you had your 'needed' mana figure right the first time. Your effective health points with MoM and infinite mana is:

Health x ( 1 ÷ (1 - MoM% as decimal)) = eHp

Then just eHp - Health to see how much mana you need to fully cover your health (but it's not completely necessary, i run 40% MoM and only about 65% of the needed mana, but it regens a lot faster than health so it's fine)

As for brands w/o leech...no clue I've been running warlords mark brand...

(Edit : botched the formula the first time)

Yes these stats are decent but you need also good recovery. I would get an elder ring with "Curse Enemies with Level # Warlord's Mark on Hit".
Btw you can have only one curse active on an enemy at once (without +1 curse thing).
Besides that it´s more about good DPS and practice.

I run warlords mark in a low level cwdt setup:
L8 cwdt, l10 warlords mark, l10 immortal call. Consistent enough against mobs, but not so against tough bosses (syndicate mainly, electrical elder guardian guy eradicator I think), especially when I play like little fluffy kitten and try to hide from everything. Didn't try the breach stone encounters as well. Temple of aztoatl boss is easy, atziri too (reflect phase may occasionally kill me), ueeber izaro is very scary, but manageable. The t16 map bosses and the stuff beyond them is what keeps me worrying, so I try to plan ahead.



EDIT: also I run lightning herald + curse on hit + ele weakness (survival method against mob packs is storm brand + added cold + hypothermia). It seems that both curses are applied at right times against mob packs. So, I don't think +1 curse is required for bosses. Boss killing skill is lightning spire trap, so again, the leech from warlords is very inconsistent, as leech don't work with traps.

Miss my legacy atziris.acuity 😅😉

You don´t need ele weakness curse to kill packs anyway. You need better life/mana sustain in boss fights.
You need to dodge hits while fighting the boss therefore warlords mark on hit is much better option than relying on CWDT (you won´t get hit).
(You could leech life/mana with brand skill).

Btw you should want shock imunity against boss such as The Eradicator (maybe topaz flask with shock imunity).
You can counter reflect phase (Atziri) by using traps (they can´t reflect damage to you).

Btw you should be ready for tough content (just don´t roll hard mods on t16 maps for the first time).

Interesting approach. Such ring would free up a gem slot for cwdt, maybe for increased duration or additional warlords or enfeeble. Or curse on hit warlords with lightning herald.

All depends on the cost. Can shapers rings roll this mod?

No only Elder ring can roll this mod
see: http://poeaffix.net/ac-ring.html

If you want to craft the ring buy the base (min ilvl 80, 84+ better bcos of t1 res) - opal is the best damage wise but probably not cheap (so anything decent).

Btw Cwdt + phase run + duration (or high lvl PR + duration) is my favorite choice.

Checked for warlords opal rings. Found one way out my price league. Are they that rare?
Anyway guardians and elder down. Two fatalitys on elder, t9 map. Very cool fight.
And I should shop a good ceptre or dagger.
I guess storm brand is just really really strong. Good thing.
