is corrupting fever worth it?

at 10 stacks on a 4 link it is less than a 10% increase in dot dps following the ziz/steel pob. giving up 1300 life to deal 10% just seems like a bad trade off. Can someone explain why it isn't?

If you're well invested into phys dot multi and damage over time, it's a nice little boost for 4 sockets. It's also possible to 6 link it if you're using a 2h weapon, which boosts its damage by ~70%.

The life cost is negligible provided you can actually pay it. My corrupting fever user from last league was paying ~6k life for a 6linked corrupted fever, and after the patch hit the cost exploded to like 12k life (which I could not actually pay).

Yeah, once I got my SST to a 6 link i was actually able to leech enough to have the life back in a second, so it suddenly feels a whole lot better.
