% Damage Taken Goes to Mana

I wish to build a Sorceress with Energy Shield. I know that the Infernal Cranium provides 20% Damage Taken Goes to Mana (I figure that this would be a great way to maintain the Energy Shield). I would like to know what other items give you this bonus. I can't search the database nor can I use a filter to display items with this bonus. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a list of items.

Must have read my mind. I was literally just pondering this ability.

The Nightsmoke Belt is probably the best for this as it provides a 50% damage taken adds to Mana.

If in a bind and you wanted to go non meta, you could actually put 4 Eth in a 4 OS shield, and 3 Eth in a 3 OS Helm to achieve 105% (7x15%) damage goes to mana. So I think that means for every 100 points of damas you take to your health, you receive 115 Mana. Not a bad way to keep mana topped up if you get hit often eg Missiles in Hell difficulty.

Afaik Eth has mana regenerate and Ith has damage taken goes to mana.

Thank you - you saved me from a wasted experiment! 7x Ith it is…

Seven Ith build = the SITH Build!!

Tyty!

With enough + skills from gear & charms & Insight on Act 2 Mercenary + 1 point in Warmth, your mana will regenarate pretty fast.... just get 2 SoJ and alot of +skill gears

If looking at dam to mana options, the Runeword Rift gives 38% but its a polearm Runeword so you’d need to want a polearm as your weapon (level 53 required for Runeword).

% Damage Taken Goes to Mana only works if you actually take damage. So that doesn't really work very well with Energy Shield. See https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/life-ma ... ana-header

For the database to see items with "% Damage Taken Goes to Mana", you can simply add the dmg to mana filter:
runewords/#filter=Damage%20taken%20goes%20to%20mana
sets/#filter=Damage%20taken%20goes%20to%20mana
uniques/#filter=Damage%20taken%20goes%20to%20mana

This is true for the classic ES sorc, but if you use a low level ES (and low res) with high damage to mana you get effectively damage reduction (instead of tanking with your mana pool).

Lets assume you have a 66% ES absorption, 150% D2M, 0 resists, 100 damage taken:
You take 49,5 damage to mana with maxed Telekinesis, 34 damage to health and you heal 51 mana.

I think this is still weaker than a real ES sorc, but it needs less skill points.And 66% damage reduction against anything except poison isn´t too bad either and you don´t need any res above 0%.
I have thought about this before, but never actually tested it.
