Anyone using Blood Rage? Frenzy?

and how you counter the de-regen effect?
it is about 4% of max life amplify by -60% chaos resist(default), say about 6.4 or 6.2% hp/s
LGoH? Life Regen? Life Leech? chaos resist? combo?
please share your strategy.

and anyone using Frenzy as main attack? speed and damage bonus, esp. on quality Frenzy is too huge its so tempting. the last time I use Frenzy with rapier I don't see any significant animation...just thrusting into enemy. doesn't feel attractive in that aspect -.-

I have used Blood Rage in the past but no longer do.

I decided that keeping all my life regen helped me tank easier than the Leach as my leach was already topping out (can't leach more than 20% max life/sec).

Plus the extra speed on your attacks from the Frenzy stacks, makes you take more damage over time if you're Blood Magic. I instead went with the fire aura gem for a dps boost.

If you do decide you like Blood Rage, I suggest getting your chaos resist over 0, and also lots of life regen (had mine to 5.4%).

I use it, the degeneration is barely noticeable as long as you keep fighting. If you feel like your health is dropping a lot just pop a potion. I think Blood Magic is a really good underused skill.

Blood Rage is amazing. Get your chaos over 0, get life regen over 4% and you dont feel the effect at all. It only takes a few pieces of gear with chaos resist to get over 0. Even being just under 0 doesn't hurt. Note that in grp play, its very difficult to keep the buff up as you are required to register the kill to keep it going. But for me, the difference with it on vs not is night and day. I have blood magic, I run hatred AND grace and I have 0 issues.
