So we have 50% MoM with this item?

yes, whats more if you take the Templar subclass you can make it 60% . with the insane mana regen you can make with this item.. i suspect it would still work to take the mind over matter points on tree with this item for the extra base mana and high % mana. as mana can literally be used as second life pool if you only have 2k mana.. i mean 30% or 60% wont make different because you wont have enough mana .
but... maybe it will be worth making a really big mana pool like 5k mana and sacrifice 1k life in order to reduce damage on life by 60%

Not bad, but a bit overrated. First off, getting your life and mana to a 50/50 ratio isn't that easy and probably means you don't have too much life to begin with. Second, stuns and status ailments will be a bitch. Third, no auras, or maybe one aura with an essence worm, but you sacrifice a ring slot for that one.

So, yeah. It's not bad, but IMO not as good as people are making it up to be.

could be op for specific builds that doesnt need many auras
and with specific subclasses, i can see the totem subclass which has alot of mana and mana regen works very well with this item. dont forget mind over matter was already abit too strong for some build in last patch since the mana points behind mind over matter making ti so much easier, also. for certain spells for example firestorm using pledge of hands you can benefit from 100% max mana
and % mana on tree are easier now.. this is only 1 item we see but i would assume more mana items have been improved to make it easier to get mana.
to be honest i managed to get a really good mana/life builds in past and due to mana regen being op at the moment you dont really need 50/50 70/30 life/mana would be enough as you done get 1 shoot with 70% of high life build . but i agree with you that most builds wont even use this item for the hard work on getting mana and the sacrifice of auras.

You dont actually need 50/50 ratio, unless you want it against true oneshot.
But 50/50 is still very possible with str-stacking build and Shaper's Touch.

Oh yes, there are possibilities, I'm not disputing that, just saying I doubt it's going to become top-notch OP, just perhaps usable.

It seems people are failing to mention this new wording means MoM and CoD now work with RF. So we can get up to some fun stuff there I'm sure.
