General Discussion - How to fix Life based builds with a single gem - Forum

It's a combination of things that need to be looked at to help life builds out. I think an easy start up would be to increase life nodes or add flat life to the nodes or a mixture of both. I would also like to see a fundamental change to life flasks and how they function with life. Perhaps now is the time to add a new flask past divine in the 85+ or something. Thing is, if you want to push end game, you go CI. If you want to do life based, you go Kaom's or Belly. I can see cases for Cherrubim's but I can't see other chests doing enough to offset the colossal life lost in the process. And the thing is, if you opt for CI, you run Discipline. So this would be no different. I mean I guess you could make a case that the game is pretty broken that we always have to run the same thing... which is sort of where we are at now.

Anyone remember when marauders were mandatory for every build due to elemental adaptation giving you 5 to all max res?
