Pain Attunement is a keystone passive skill. It grants 30% more spell damage when the character is on low life.
Low life is a condition that applies when life falls below 35%. Using gems with a flat percent of reserved mana, one can maintain precisely 65% health reserved by supporting it with reduced mana reservation nodes from the passive skill tree, Blood Magic Support and maybe also Enlighten Support across several permutations. |
Blood Magic Support causes linked skills to be paid using life instead of mana. Linking auras or other mana-reserving skills to Blood Magic Support is an easy way to trigger the low life condition.
Low life is defined as having 35% or less life remaining. This state can be achieved by reserving 65% (or more) of the player’s life pool.
If doing the above, your Light radius will be dramatically reduced. The Arcane Vision notable, found directly adjacent to Pain Attunement, counteracts this downside.
Low life conditions will never trigger while CI is enabled. Effects such as Pain Attunement and On Low Life mods on gear will not activate. For these effects, you must have 35% or less of your current maximum life. Chaos Inoculation sets your maximum life to 1.
With the exception of using Coward’s Legacy(You count as on Low Life while you are Cursed with Vulnerability), where the player may simultaneously be on low life and have Chaos Inoculation.
Pain Attunement is a standalone keystone located on the inner layer of the transition area between Witch and Shadow.
