Harmony Within behavior on large hits is atrocious (or bugged)

I'll be honest, given the skill name and wording, I expected this skill to leave my mana and health closer to being balanced after taking a large hit. I.e., with 10 health and 20 mana, taking a 20-point hit would leave 5 health and 5 mana, as hit damage taken would be taken from mana if current mana was higher than life. This is not how it works in practice. *Hits* are taken in their entirety from *either* health or mana, depending on which is higher. So taking a 20 point hit simply kills you. There's no "harmony" within or without.

So feedback 1: change the wording. And maybe the name, because it's definitely not that.

Feedback 2: this skill is pretty awful as-is, and there's nothing "harmonious" about it. In practice, you *cannot* play this skill with higher health than mana, since it means your buffer for large hits is strictly your health pool, which is a non-starter. So you're railroaded into playing higher mana than life, which means that any large hit removes your mana pool before your health, which is exactly what MoM does already. The current harmony within does offer slightly better regen under a lot of small hits, but at the cost of total life *and* a quarter of your ascendancy points, which is an absolutely terrible tradeoff.


So in short, unless this skill is bugged badly (since I have screenshots of the above situation playing out), the Harmony Within ascendancy node feels worse than the existing Mind over Matter and comes with a far heavier opportunity cost. Pretty disappointing.


(Edit) just a couple of other notes on why this is strictly worse than the current MoM:
- Even if you do run more mana than life, if your mana ever drops below your current life, your effective health pool for large hits gets instantly cut in *half*, since the hit would only hit health. This means if you get a lot of little small hits, your max hit taken value is bouncing wildly between your life and your life+mana.
- If you build for more mana than life, remember that dots are still life-only, so investment towards mana is useless for them.
