Want to feel even more bad about playing a life build?

Without instant leech, more than half of current t1 builds would be simply DEAD. Im all for VP removal from the game and leaving only "on hit" instant leech options.

Game would be way easier to balance.

You fail to understand that with a big pool like that of es, regen is much better and much more consistent than any vaal pact build you can come up with.

1)instant leech is essentially a form of defense. its too good for both es and life
if you think removing instant leech = removing leech, then you see the INSTANT leech is a problem, because by design most builds dont have instant leech. some build that is better off having regular leech than instant leech aside from slayer is ____. lets fill in the blank here. can we ? no ? then its too fucking good

2)life doesnt really need a buff, it needs more places in the tree where you can take life, and dissolve the dumb scion life wheel. on the other hand, es needs a definite NERF with all values through the roof on everything.

if you bring life up to the level of ES it will be ridiculously strong.


and I say it as someone who primarily plays life builds.

This is their view. Balance is doomed.

What does that have to do with my post? He is not using VP but ZO and regen is insane enough. Whole point was ES@25K EHP life maxes at about 1/3 of that and cant take the big hits while ES can.

Removing VP is dumb too why would you want less diversity? Then everyone is a regen tank like this guy instead of a leech one further destory life builds even more who definity cant take two hits in succession w/o some VP leech while again ES can

I'd move VP to way lower left of tree away from the monsterous ES nodes but otherwise it's fine too. I have notplayed life in about a year since this patch and the real problem is % are way too low to compete with ES builds. T1 life on almost all gear 240% life in tree and jewels and pathetic 6500 life or 1/4 his EHP is what i'm dealing with.

All life node need about 50% buff. Like 5's become 7's or 8%ers.

Life should be weaker than ES due to flasks but not that fucking weak.
