Hotbutton topic? :rolleyes: :D
For what it's worth, I'm not sure if I've ever even had a mage with as much as 138 life. Most of my non-variant mages seemed to top out around 125. Maybe my geezer had more than that, but he never used mana shield anyway. My original BNM probably had about 40 life (maybe less) for his 3@30.
If you want to avoid exploiting bugs, you should really have about 250 life before using mana shield in hell/hell or hell/caves (blood knights aren't the highest damaging enemies...). You should also always select scrolls from your speedbook before casting them, never walk horizontally across the screen, never walk with your inventory open, never double right-click unless you have enough resources to cast twice, never fire an elemental bow, never attack hell Diablo with a melee weapon or bow, never touch hidden, enchanted, or mysterious shrines....
