I started a new rogue character and once I got to level 8 I put on a pair of MourningFrost boots in my storage. From that point until level 37 when I got to Heobora, i had mostly zero life and zero ward. I was face tanking all the mobs and bosses. Once I got the Heobora town at level 37, I switched my boots and continued questing but now the problem is I was dying every hit because the bug was gone. The only change I had made was the boots.
I had also experienced this bug on a couple other characters but I couldn’t figure out what the change was because I also changed gear and respeced some points.
While in Heoborea town, I have been trying to replicate this bug but taking the boots off seems to have killed the effect and now when I put them back on the bug is gone.
So to recap, several times now on various characters in the early game at level 8 I put on MourningFrost boots and was basically invulnerable to death - I was doing quests with zero life and zero ward until I switched out the boots later on in the game and now the effect is gone.
I don’t know if it’s just the boots or a combination of the boots and maybe some unique gloves/rings etc. All I know is that once I removed the boots, the effect was gone and now I can’t get it back.
The bug appears to happen early game and persist until you remove or change the boots.
