what is considered low life in poe2
In Path of Exile 2, Low Life generally means your Life is at 35% of maximum or less. A guide covering the game’s resource keywords states that “Low” applies when a resource is at 35% or lower, and gives Life as the example.
What that means in play
- If your max Life is 1000, you are on Low Life at 350 or below.
- Some uniques or effects can make you count as Low Life even above that threshold, such as Coward’s Legacy in the example given by the guide.
Why it matters
Low Life often interacts with passives, skills, and gear that give bonuses when you are below the threshold. That’s why builds sometimes intentionally reserve Life or use specific items to stay in that state.
