What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

What is the behaviour in-game?

Soul catcher states that you cannot gain mana during effect, chainbreaker states that mana regeneration is not applied and instead converted to rage regeneration. Both combined in game work in synergy, meaning you do not gain mana but your mana regen now provides rage regen and the rage regen is not prevented by soul catcher.

What is the behaviour in Path of Building?

Enabling Soul Catcher with Chainbreaker allocated removes the rage regen counter in the stats section.

How to reproduce the issue
  1. Allocate Chainbreaker using a timeless jewel
  2. observe mana regen being converted into rage regen and an indicator showing up on the left
  3. enable soul catcher
  4. indicator disappears, contrary to in game behaviour

Research direction

Load the linked Path of Building build code and reproduce the interaction by allocating Chainbreaker, observing rage regeneration, then enabling Soul Catcher. Compare the stats indicator before and after Soul Catcher is enabled. Done means the rage regeneration indicator and value remain consistent with the reported in-game behavior.
