@GGG - When are we going to see the broken-ness that is Zerphi's Last Breath fixed?

First take note that my gear is not perfect, I miss Legacy Kaom's and 6L quill rain which heavily affects the heal amount.
There are 4 components to scale for the heal: Mana cost, Attack speed, Flask effect and Maximum life.

Maximum life puts a cap on the heal amount possible, because if you heal more life than you are missing, the amount over your max hp is lost, so your mana cost should be your Maximum life minus your mana cost (you can't attack if your life is below your mana cost), divided by your heal amount from Zerphi.

My stats:
8718 Maximum life
8.85 attacks per second (with Blood Rage and Silver Flask)
700 mana cost
28% Flask effect -> 1024% of Mana cost healed

Current maximum theoretical heal per second: 700 * 8.85 * 10.24 = 63 436

Best possible stats:
On top of my current setup, I could get +500 HP from Legacy Kaom's, +120 from reaching level 100, +50 from getting better helmet and quiver, for a total of +670 max hp. With my current tree I get a 3.48 multiplier on the flat HP from gear, so my maximum life would be 11039.

11000 Maximum life
10 attacks per second (assuming all +10 passives are spent on attack speed, and getting 3 rare jewels with 4 stats)
1074 mana cost (ideal amount, because multiplied by the 10.24 from flask heal it equals to max life. Getting the 6th link on bow and a lvl21 EA will get close to this mana cost)
28% Flask effect -> 1024% of Mana cost healed

Current maximum theoretical heal per second: 1074 * 10 * 10.24 = 109 977

Effective MAX HP with MoM is: 11712 (explained below)

BACK STORY:
I'm an avid moba player. So I come from a PvP rich background, since moba are the fucken best! I've been pvping in poe about 7minutes now and am already rank 1 on multiple ladders.



OVERVIEW:
+ The (__)D)Lord, god of EA/CWDT/ZERPHI
+ iNsANe! AOE.
+ Superior clear speed.
+ PvP dominance (secondary dmg + AoE shotgun + zerphi sustain).
+ PvE dominance (shaper/uber-lab/uber-atziri/twilight strand capable).
+ Economical build (get started with ~3ex) with huge growth potential.
+ Nerf-proof because GGG doesn't care
+ Insane burst damage, kill most people with the initial fuse. (PWNT)
+ Vomiting spell at melee range (CUZ FUK YO MELEE)
- always managing ur mana because of zerphi's



MECHANICS (the rocket science):
Since we are pathfinder, we have nearly 100% uptime on all flasks. (Balanced and never to be nerfed.)
+ 75%/50% block with only rumi/rearguard.
+ 30 arrows/fuses total with dying sun.
+ 400% increased AOE from dying sun.
+ Ample life gain on attack from zerphi's.
+ EA secondary damage type. (Note: not relied on)
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Damage#Secondary_Damage
+ Scale burn damage to the HEAVENZ with quadruple double triple-dipping on jewels/tree/gear/gems.
+ Adaptable: No swaps required, just hold attack. Match ups are irrelevant, arenas are irrelevant.
+ Using elemental equilibirum and the right CWDT setup to max EA (I don't rely on this)
+ To sustain mana correctly we need some dmg taken gained as mana because we gain mana from the dmg caused by Scold (ideal amount is around 15%, if u pass that u will have a hard time in pvp cuz u will gain to much mana n cancel zerphi's effect.
-You DO NOT want to over do this....because without these mechanics you'd have to actually PvP. I repeat, do not exceed the threshold or you will be PvPing and we don't want to PvP, we want to just PWWWWWWWWWWWWWN FUCKAZ WIT DA SKILLZ.


DEFENSE:
+ 75%/50% block, with a bow....ya with a bow!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cuz fuck ya bro!
+ zerphi's life gain (mana cost is about 144 so we gain 1152 life for every attack).
+ CWDT+frost bomb+decrepify+amplify damage to turn everyone into CI (in a bad way, i.e. rekt their life regeneration).
+ CWDT+vortex+hurricane+ice nova+holy freeze to chill all none pathfinder build (90% are pathfinder) and also help EE mechanic.
+ CWDT+molten shell+fireball+magmaorb+etherealknife+bladefall+cyclone+lightning arrow+fist of heavens+frozen orb+armageddon to vomit on any melee build with constant aoe overlapped pwnfuckingage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! da skillz spilling out all over the place daaaaaaaaaawg.


OFFENSE:
+ EA too gud
+ The scaled increased area of effect (AoE) will enhance the overlap and coverage, enabling you to control the pvp battleground. Dom....in...ance!
-For pvp, EA explosion is very good due to the fact that its can't be block or dodge. It's 100% legit and should never be nerfed.


GEMS:
+ EA setup :GMP/INC AOE/EMPOWER/FIRE PEN/LESS DURATION
note: Always use GMP+AoE so you never have to aim. I repeat you DO NOT want to ever have to aim in this game. Just hold down attack and let everything trigger off of you for free, if there happens to be walls around you that's an added bonus of pwnage bc you just fucken exploded the screen woooooooooooooot!
+ CWDT/molten shell link with: fire pen/ele focus/control destruction
+ CWDT/vortex/inc aoe/frost bomb
+ CWDT/ice nova/ele weak
+ blink arrow alone...oh fuck who am I kidding, just use more CWDT. CWDT Flame dash for auto movement!


GOAL: To NEVER EVER win by using anything you did yourself.




Until this point you haven't had to do anything to win. That's all about to change so brace yourself for the ultimate battle.

-With a fierce sweeping motion, remove everything that could possibly hinder your flask hand. This includes Mountain Dews,Doritos...everything, trust me on this one.

-Next with an assortment of bendy straws directly inject any full cans of Mountain Dew game fuel directly into your bloodstream like you're Bane from Batman.

-Equip any certified (look for the certification, you can't afford knock offs here) flasking glove i.e wrist protector.

-Turn on appropriate music for such an epic battle. I like Lamb Chops, song that never ends.


-Assume you've logged in already and began the match. Immediately let flame dash or similar auto movement skill teleport you to your opponent. They will of done the same, leaving you both face to face, flask to flask, bed pan to bed pan and exchanging one of the most retarded gazes you could ever imagine RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR! Quickly ready your flask fingers and with your 1 mouse button continually held (never let go, just hold it) hit (like a master pianist) 12345 12345 12345 12345 12345 infinitely until you either win...or you lose. If you've lost, he/she was clearly the better player or you slipped up somewhere. This is a meticulous process and will take some getting used to, most mortals barely get past the first few steps so if you've even gotten this far don't lose faith.

There is ton of broken stuff in the game but the main issue with Zerphi (aside the fact that it make any content trivial) is that it putt immense stress on the servers because of the CWDT triggers used to deal damages. It's the same as wormblaster harvest who was nerfed last patch.

An easy fix would be indeed to change how the flask work to force the user to spend mana as

Here is one of the build abusing this for reference :
