Suggestion: Kaom's Heart change.

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kaom%27s_Heart

As everybody knows life builds struggle in current meta. CI is much safer and better. What I suggest is small change to Kaom's Hart unique item, making it better, allowing players use more defensive gem setups in it. It's best robe to make life pool bigger, but lack of gem slots is super annoying and causes serious gem slots struggle to apply extra defences.

How I think this robe should looks:



That means you can link it only 2x 3L sockets. This 2x 3L will improve safety and QoL life builds a lot.

Sockets don't really fit the theme, I mean the boots dont even have MS....

Restore it to 1k HP or 800hp with the fire damage or somethng still.

That being said kaoms heart isnt the solution to life being shit....

Best way to buff BASE life and life gain per level, it will actually boost life and make easier to play on stats for newbie players.

Secondary option would be add to every melee damage node extra life.

I know it's not solution but It will make life build little less shitty.

It's small step into good direction.

Good direction? Kaom's is already quite mandatory on a life build that wants to tackle tough content.

BiS items is the exact opposite of good game design. (look at d3)

Well for 2 hander builds maybe, obviously 1 hander builds cant really use it.

But 2 hander builds also miss an offhand, unless its bow LUL

Fun fact: any melee much better with CI as it gave EXTRA actual real support gem (on full life) + much better life pool (ES same as life) and MORE links (bye bye Kaom Heart without any sockets)

I have never understood how can anyone use that armor, forfeiting 6 sockets would absolutely destroy any build I can possibly imagine.

I guess it's for those 1 button meta builds abusing multidipping or something.

Righteous Fire Builds easily can make do with Kaom's Heart as they rely on Life Pool and Fire Damage and RF itself usually needs only a 4L to make it work.

Or even uniques giving a free suport in a 4L item.
