If you loose blood magic, then your skills no longer reserve life rather than mana, so they will revert to mana when they notice this. Currently this only occurs on changing area, but in future we hope to eliminate this completely by having it update if the aura is currently on you at the time of the change.
In short, yes, this is intended, and was in the patch notes.
If you want to gain the benefit of a piece of gear, you should be wearing that gear. If you take it off, you should no longer gain benefits from it.
Why the hell didn't you just wait? Didn't it pass through your minds that high level people are just going to take their items with them now and cast them every time they enter a new map? What difference does that make? Just tedium?

It is not a nerf to me as a BoR user unless you happen to use elemental build.
It is a DIRECT nerf to all BoR users, don't you put grace on your health???
Ah just checked, standard league, that means it doesn't matter for you at all.

Yes it is. Because if you are smart you are using 4 auras + grace. Thankfully this patch makes auras somewhat less attractive since you lose more skill slots and have to go for reduced reserved mana to be able to stack 4x % based auras.
Auras are very powerful. And I welcome any nerf to them even though I had to respecc and lost 1 skill from this recent patch.
I only use Frenzy, Enduring Cry, and Enfeeble. The rest are the "4 auras + grace," so I never had to resort to exploiting to add even more auras than I really need.

I always had Grace on HP reserved. I do not play in either hardcore or onslaught since the game is changing a lot. Not worth popping blood vessels.

I respecced.
Have fun applying the auras every single time you enter a map, also will be impossible for lowlife builds in some maps.
Yeah....I'm burned out on this game. I think I might be done. Might have been the last nail in the coffin for me.

Joking aside - if you did have an alpha's or any BM item it would indeed be a nerf.
If you didn't then I don't see the point in participating in this thread since it is about using those items?
Also previously you could have 2 additional skills, which you lost the opportunity to have now. Or you must have the auras in your weapon/shield which renders weapon swap useless since you lose all auras..
I use Facebreaker. :P
The reason why I participated because someone mentioned that peeps with BoR got nerfed. I simply stating not all got nerfed.
I am not a big fan of having too many skills on me. Frenzy, Enduring Cry, and Enfeeble is enough for me.
That solves my issue of reactivating my auras when I swap shields.

You do not have reduced mana on grace? Then you lose like 300 more Life than my old facebreaker build had using the exact same setup.
It would be wiser to drop the 4th aura, drop the 3 nodes required for it - and use reduced mana on grace.
I do not mind reserving about 350 HP for Grace. If it does become an issue (which I have not had so far), then I will just drop Haste (only getting about 1.5k DPS on top of the 31k DPS I already have) to place Grace there, and problem solved.

Lol having to recast those in HC/Ons is a death sentence waiting to happen....yes I believe I am done lol.
I will never play HC/Ons unless it is the events. The game is still unstable to be able to play HC/Ons, and I rather play stress free. Not a fan of popping my own veins.

Wait a second. You only have 2 skills? LOL!
No decoy totem or anything. Yeah right, you didn't lose anything... You have always been at loss. :-)
If you used reduced mana for Grace, and dropped Haste - you could get 3 nodes, Life and 1 additional skills - for example decoy totem, vulnerability or perharps a second enduring cry?
Thank you for your concern, but I do not need decoy totem when I can use Enfeeble to nerf the living hell of the mobs while blinding them to oblivion. I pretty much kill things very quickly. Add it to that, my res is 80, and 85 with Saffell.
Edit: I already got enough DPS that I do not need vulnerability, but I might consider a second enduring cry.

Everyones own fault for using an exploit and expecting that it would last forever. No nerfs took place. Your build might be worse but thats only a result of your choosing to use an exploit.
