How Much is Too Much Health?
|
My highest character at the moments is level 62. He is a molten strike Templar. I use a one handed weapon and a shield for extra tankyness. I've been planning out my skill tree adding even more % health nodes on top of my current nodes already adding up to 134%.
My question is, generally how much should I increase my health by these percents for this type of toon? 150%? 175? 200? Thanks in advance You can tell a man's worth by how much truth he can take.

There is no such thing as too much health :)
But the sweet spot for non-HC melees would be 170-180% or something. However, that's just a guideline, if it would take too much effort to get more than 160% you can settle on that, but if you can easily grab 200%, do it. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]► Last edited by raics#7540 on Sep 10, 2014, 2:05:42 PM

I've seen some recommendations in the forums for life--looking at it as total life based on passives and equipment (don't forget how much equipment can amp your life).
~600 at the end of normal 1700 at the end of cruel 3-4k to be able to run maps in merciless Depending on the build, some people can do it with less life. And full resists are recommended to mitigate damage. |

Pre 1.2 the sweet spot was around 150-200% for most builds but with base health per level now increased by 50%(!) and the related health node nerf you should aim for 120-150%. That being said, more life is always better but not at the cost of too much damage, resists or secondary defenses like evasion, armor and block.
Your +134% are good and personally i'd rather focus on getting other stuff than more health unless you can do so with minimal point investment. 11.02.2013 - 11.02.2017: four year PoE anniversary!

Depends on what league you are in. I personally wouldn't go with a ton of life in Rampage. Get damage, clear maps/bosses, find items. Just have enough that you arent detrimental to your own progression by flopping over every time something difficult hits you.
I think right now 130-150 is good for Rampage(maybe, I play Beyond), and 150-170+ is good for Beyond. I'm currently sitting at 187 in Beyond on a 81 Cleave duelist, and will probably get another 20% at least, because I'm right at it. If he was on SC however, I would probably stop before now and get dmg. |
