Blue Screen of Life is supposed to absorb 50% of the damage you take and apply it to your mana, with a 60% inflation that nobody but the developers quite understand. I am well aware of this, that's not the problem here.

When I was fighting Abadon as a mage and I had blue screen up everything was functioning normally. My mana and HP would decrease together exactly as designed. He'd cast firestorm and I'd have to heal several times, as well as use mana pots, so far everything is normal. My fire resistance had expired, and the skill finally recharged mid-battle. I still had blue screen up, and I then used the fire resistance. When Abadon would cast firestorm my HP barely moved due to the fire resistance, but my mana dropped like a hot rock.

I thought it was my imagination, so I decided to experiment with it a few more times. Everything worked as it should until I used fire resistance, and every time my mana still plummeted as if I was taking damage, yet I was not.

I suspect there is a bug in the code that determines how much damage you are taking and applies it to your mana before resistances are taken into account. This is a significant problem in more than one way. We all use gear with resistance built into it. Is damage being applied to our mana before these resistances are calculated in as well? Try this bug out for yourself, it can be duplicated every time with the same results.

I'm a bit concerned that this bug has gone unnoticed. Is it a shameful thing to bump your own post around here?

The bug hasn't gone unnoticed We don't have the ability to reply to each post, but be assured we do read them and investigate any cases that are reported. There is no need to bump posts either: we'll see it.

In this case there is an issue with Blue Screen that should be resolved by the time the new build gets out of testing onto the live servers. Thanks for the report!

Thanks, I was just afraid this problem would get lost in cyber's space or some place equally scary.
