Chaos Inoculation makes game consider you both Low Life and Full life. Brokenly OP
This made me anoint Defiance on my monk (80% increased evasion and armor on low life) + taking Protect me from harm and I still have 87% evasion + 82% armor + 4300 ES which overflows to 8600 ES.
It’s a bug but might as well abuse it. This means Killer Instinct is mandatory on a CI monk as well (30% attack damage on Full Life + 50% damage on Full Life).
You just have to take Chaos Inoculation until GGG fixes this.

Full Life? Yes. Do you have any proof of Low Life though? Because that's 35% of max health and if you're 1/1.... that's 100%...
Definitely a bug if true. Low life should not work.
Novice here, can’t find the recipe or way to get défiance yet I searched.
Can you help me ?
Thanks for the tips
Dang that's really strong with so many different nodes. Pain attunement obviously comes to mind. Surely its not intentional though
Sick
Ghostwrithe chest is also brokenly OP. You can use it with CI and it will convert your 50% HP to ES before CI makes it 1.
Wow didnt know that. Would work great eith my boots that give +50% rarity when on low hp only
does poe2 have similar issue with es as le has with ward?
Chaos inoculation with MoM is just stupidly strong because you are immune to some of the worst types of damage, and can scale health, damage and mana all in mana lmao
yea that's definitely a bug. 1/1 has never been considered low life
Remind me in a month?
This will probably get fixed. I don’t think this is intended.
Definitely a bug and hopefully gets fixed soon.
It's chaos
Check with the node that gives damage while low and full. Should give you 80% attack damage.
Why does my CI read different though? I'm 1/4000, not 1/1
monk has notable passive: "dmg while low life, dmg while full life", both work
It is called rounding up. It is a well kept secret of mathematic magicians. The concept is to complicate to explain here.
Definitely counts as low life. I took the cast nodes top left of the tree that gives increased cast speed on low life and my cast speed went up.
Known for a while now. Some found out the hard way in trials. Probably fixed in the next patch in a few days.
Protect me from harm is bad btw.
For anyone not sure, on archmage you can pick the node that gives insane cast speed on low life which works non stop.
I unspecced it as well and am using acrobatics. Way more tanky with lvl 91 for me. Armor is just bad rn
Luckily we're in EA and GGG can adjust and balance things like this. Or maybe it's intended. After all balance has never been GGGs strong suite. It seems PoE 2 is as imbalanced as PoE is, which isn't unsurprising, as PoE 2 is basically PoE Ruthless with nicer graphics.
Also low mana.
That seems like how it should work, no?
Wouldn’t this work on killer instinct? lol
30% damage in full health
50% damage in low life
Even without this interaction CI is already better in this game than in the first one, simply because it makes you immune to bleed.
I confirmed that this is the case for my character as well. Taking the node which gives 10% reduced cast speed at full life and 20% increased cast speed at low life results in 10% increased cast speed.
In poe1 you can reserve a certain percentage of that 1 life allowing you to be low life with CI. Not sure if it also counts as full life.
The tooltip on the passive tree did always say that you get all 80% of dmg... Considered it to be wrong, but apparently it isn't.
It MAY be an intended interaction. If you look at the tree nodes that provide low life benefits, many of them also have a full life drawback, or the other way around. Not saying that it's not a bug, only that it's possible they already are trying to balance low-life/full life around CI.
there are so many broken things with chaos inoculation... everything that transforms life into ES works, counts as full life and low life at the same time, can generate infinite power chargers with lingering illusion + a support gem, a lot of random and weird benefits for a single point of passive that is already strong on its own
Low life = 35% of maximum life right? Well if your Max is 1 then you're not able to be 0.35
Maybe someone already asked but does this also mean that the items in your inventory which auto-trigger on low life are unlootable with this build? 🤔
What happens when you get a bleed hit?
Such high armor, evasion, and energy shield! You must be insanely tanky. Can you just sit there and eat hits?
It also counts you as low mana for some reason
It's early access, did u give this feedback to ggg. They are asking for input.
Isnt Patient Barrier anoint better? since it give you 60% increased maximum energy shield
Neither armour nor evasion are taking into account the type of monster hitting you here in the tooltip. Not sure if I should be taking defiance on a demon form infernalist cuz I was trying to just ES stack.
Does this not show any changes on weapon DPS? I anointed killer instinct and see no visual change in DPS numbers with or without it equipped
Time Lost Jewels with Extra Effect of Small Passive Nodes+ The Adorned are bugged aswell, it's additive so small passive nodes increase by % of timelost+ % of adorned.
I didn't expect the math to be broken in so many places in EA and i didnt expect the Instance Planner not properly tested.
You could still easily get one shotted in end games so i dunno how “op” it is. It’s just good.
OP can you post your build in Maxroll or something? I don’t know how to increase my ES with Passives and Items I wanna know how.
How can you tell when low life is triggered?
where does that 180 dex next to resistances come from
is this intended with ghostwrithe?
Any build guide for this?
