Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

Drawing power from the ether is a tricky thing. Even the most dedicated practitioner is not able to effectively contain all of it for their use. This armor redirects that excess energy to serve its wearer.

Boost While Channeling

This shoulder piece rewards sustained channeling with two bonuses at once: as long as you maintain one of the supported continuous skills, your damage rises while the damage you take falls. The piece improves both your offense and your defense – and across classes, since the list of favored skills spans several of them.

Because the effect supports nearly every channeling skill, the Mantle fits builds from Wizard to Barbarian as long as you center a continuous skill. Tip: Keep your channel as uninterrupted as possible, since the bonuses apply only while you're actively casting – plan your resources and positioning so you rarely have to let go and the damage and protection bonuses stay up the whole time.

Which Class Channels What

The list covers six classes: the Barbarian channels Whirlwind, the Demon Hunter Rapid Fire or Strafe, the Monk Tempest Rush, the Necromancer Siphon Blood, the Witch Doctor Firebats and the Wizard Ray of Frost, Arcane Torrent or Disintegrate. Only the Crusader has no qualifying skill. The 20–25% range applies to the damage bonus; the 25% damage reduction is fixed. A Primal Ancient copy therefore gives the full 25% on the damage side as well.

Runes That Keep the Channel Going

Since only an unbroken channel counts, runes that cut costs or refund resources pay off. Cold Blood lowers the channeling cost of Ray of Frost to 11 Arcane Power, and Northern Breeze drops Tempest Rush to 25 Spirit. Wind Shear hands Whirlwind 1 Fury per enemy struck. Siphon Blood generates Essence rather than spending it, and with Purity of Essence it even generates 20 at full life. Flame Ward on Arcane Torrent adds up to 25% less damage from attacks while you channel.

Stats and Cube Slot

The fixed roll is +416–500 Vitality, joined by Dexterity, Intelligence or Strength. Area Damage, Life % and Cooldown Reduction are also worth looking for. The power fits the armor slot of Kanai's Cube as well. The Mantle is often paired with Convention of Elements, the Ring of Royal Grandeur, Squirt's Necklace and Haunted Visions. Its flavor text explains that the armor redirects the excess energy from the ether that even dedicated practitioners cannot contain.
