Diablo 1 HD Hellfire Mod | Awake

I've been using mana shield with my lv 40 mage (~1000 mana) for quite some time now and I really like it. But...there is a but of course!

Can someone confirm that when I'm hit in either melee or ranged or by a spell then the full damage is subtracted from my mana reserves and absolutely no resistances are taken into consideration? Because sometimes I feel I just run out of mana too quickly.

do you have all of your resistances capped though?

Yes, all of them are at their maximum values - except of course for the physical resistance. I might try to capture a video that shows this behavior and post a link.

I think monster damage is just being unbalanced. Like, undead balrog's projectle does about half of my mana, while magma demon's projectiles barely scratch me.

Well, that could explain it...

So did you notice that huge disparity in diffirent monsters' damage?

After playing some additional hours, I can confirm what you said: monster damage is very unbalanced, but still have the feeling that even the ones inflicting less damage cause way more to my mana than my hp.
