Should "Vitality" get buffed?

As a life based tank that stacks large quantities of HP, It still seems like Vitality isn't anywhere as good as other defensive Aura's (Grace/Determination), which is a shame because I very much like the concept.

Does anyone else feel the same?

i agree, when auras were changed to have 60% mana reserve they were also heavily buffed, apart from vitality which got a 0.1% extra life regen, thats not really a buff considering how much mana you reserve.

i think 2% life regen would be fitting

I've seen one person use it in the past year, so yes since it can be good. Or at least make it a raw amount like clarity so it doesn't use as much mana

Buff it or keep power and change reservation. Maybe like Clarity ( absolute # instead of % ).

Yep, it would definitely be nice for "Vitality" to at least be a worthy consideration for 'Beafy' builds.

Another tactic would be to give it a static amount of regeneration.

Instead of % based regeneration.

Simply put, the lower your hp pool is the more viable it would become.

hmm i imagine a number like 150 life regen flat base at lvl 20. (can be augmented with self buff, inner cluster and aura enhance nodes)

This would make it a decision based on the character you design.

low life overall char = increased effectiveness

aura and self buff specialist = increased effectiveness

Would also have a nice interaction with zealoth oath and low ES value's for example.

(no clue if this is viable or desired in the current game-state, just posing an alternate route for this aura since it is being under-used.)

It's just a random number :), the point being moving it to a flat regeneration might yield better results of it being used. (but i suspect, summoners would hate the change :p)

Making it a flat mana cost would also make it O P for certain builds.

Maybe reducing it to 20%/25% reserve would be a solution, not sure do.

I'm quite sure GGG are capable of buffing"Vitality" if they so choose, I was just wondering how many of you out there share the feeling that it is indeed in need of a buff.

the problem with vitality imo, is that reducing incoming damage is more effective then having a better regen. Therefore a purity of lightning for example will easily replace vitality in a shrine map. Specially because the max resistances give exponential damage reduction.

Not sure how one could change this perception.

Edit : how about this lol :D,

For every 1000hp vitality regenerates, an endurance charge is added to the character!

Note : only hp regenerated by vitality, not other regen% sources.

That would really make it an effective aura for life based tanks!
