Guide to maintaining low life

Low life is defined as having 50% or less life remaining. This state can be achieved by reserving 50% (or more) of the player's life pool. The problem with maintaining that amount of reserved health is whenever new gear is obtained or skill points are spend/adjust, the player could be modifying his health pool, bringing himself out of this low life state, or causing more health to be reserved than necessary.

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,  and maybe also  across several permutations.

Below are the permutations for a few reserved mana gem combinations. See here for a full list of skill gems that can be used.

''Note: There are eight reduced mana reservation nodes -- six of 4%, one of 6% and one of 8%. These nodes are additive. Combined, they give a 38% multiplier.''

Important information: All combinations below result in exactly 65% life reserved. It is nearly always possible to achieve low life with different combinations, but reserve a bit more life.
