What POE 2 can take from POE 1 without making the game POE 1.5

Mana reservation is a horrible idea that has always made mana pointless in poe1 except for the nichest of builds. Absolutely awful idea trying to bring that back.

2) Mana reservation vs Spirit:
While playing the POE 1 campaign, I quickly saw how good the Mana reservation system is.

It is not good.

It is absolutely useless. Complete garbage. Non-existent stat.

It doesn't matter if you have 100, 1000, 100000 mana.
This is simply AURA FODDER.

It does nothing. If you get mana on the item it is wasted affix.

All you care about is reservation efficiency and sneak as much auras as possible to your build.

This decision GGG made practically made auras part of every build.
Not only that, people will reserve their HP as well. If they could - they would reserve their ES and go 1/1/1.

PoE 2 is huge improvement over this.

You can stack it up. The spirit affix is not only useful but also Tier 0 priority in many builds.

Auras reserve flat amount, so you pay exactly what you buy as stat.
You need extra aura - you replace one affix with spirit affix - simple solution.

And there is not much on the tree.
In POE1 you are more or less required to pick "RESERVATION EFF".

In POE2 you have freedom in that matter.
