Would a unique like this be overpowered?

You could pass the idea along to GGG and they'd nerf the shit out of it before allowing it into the game, because their design philosophy isn't going to permit your item as is.

First step to reducing the power of this unique is by making the level of gems lower (e.g. lvl 12 GMP and Chain).

The Energy Shield part doesn't really even seem relevant to the item, so it doesn't pose a problem to users and is easily avoidable. If you're looking for a downside to the item, it better be a real downside.

It would be balanced if it had the Veil of the Night downside -- your elemental resists are 0.

Nope.
Thats my upside.

Requires lvl80 is a huge downside, at that level the stats are ok.

You serious OP, 7L item with super life for no drawbacks. Well done, well done...

Pretty good unique, but I wouldn't call it overpowered. Energy Shield downside ensures it.

if you are forced to use the blood magic gem, how about a downside like "cannot leech, no life reg" :E

So stupid uniq design. Everyone can create tons of such imba things. Only few can create something really smart.

Might go for design a unique, maybe not :P

Wouldn't make it past the email phase. GGG got SO burnt with the 7L of Bringer of Rain.

Listen to Charan, he's at least had lots of interaction with GGG regarding the making of unique items.

Remove GMP
Lvl 18 chain and BM


I like it

Remove blood magic lvl 30, make it a static "skill cost's 800 life to cast"

There.

Peace,
