Mind over Matter didn't work against a hag

I don't know if it's something special that Hags do but I ran into a hag when I was full mana and life.

Afterwards I had 0 life and full mana.

Not how it's supposed to work if the tool tip on Mind over Matter is correct because it says "All damage is taken from mana before life".

Thanks

The River Hag casts drowning orbs, which are a special mechanic that first slows your action speed and then simply outright kills you if you stay in their area for a few seconds. It does not cause damage, it simply kills you and ignores your defences (including life pool, ES, and mind over matter).

See also drowning orb in POE1 (Eater of Worlds mechanic).


With the fact that these drowning orbs are often cast right on top of the player and there may be several hags in an area, along with various things to interfere with your movement, they can be quite dangerous if you are somehow unable to move to escape them.

Killing the River Hag will remove the orb.
