Does VITALITY Aura need to be buffed? Or is it just me?

They way you're thinking about his is flawed in my mind, troll blood is easily one of the top nodes (i personally think its the best, but we'll just stick with one of the top). In no way should a node like this be thought of as a 1 node investment because you can't just get a lot of those nodes, and usually if you're getting troll blood its not an afterthought, but the main reason you're going in that direction.

And then just to go ahead and follow your logic a bit anyways, the +res% on purity isn't that big of a deal, its SO easy to max your resistences, so the big thing is the +4 max (equivilent to one node -- although again its not like its only a 1 node investment...).

Also, haste is only "2" nodes as there is a 15% atk speed node (and 12% +20 dex i think). Not sure if there is an analgous cast speed node though.

All that being said, vitality might be underpowered, but how to argue about that shouldn't be by comparing it to passive node "alternatives", you're going to want to stack the nodes and the auras. For instance purity is much better with EA node.

Mostly agree, but it seems like out of all of the people I've met in-game, 9 out of 10 people who run multiple auras never choose the Vitality Aura when the alternatives give so much more benefit in comparison. One of the only times I see Vitality being turned on are on those 50% regen Maps.

I agree what while vitality itself isn't necessarily bad, it certainly is trumped by other auras, hence why you barely see it being used in comparison to say purity or haste.

I think to make it not overpowered at later levels, but still be viable to use in earlier levels, the aura needs to offer a % life based regen AND a flat amount of regen.. for example:

Level 1: 5 Health per second + 0.55% health regenerated per second.
Level 2: 10 Health per second + 0.60% health regenerated per second.
Level 3: 15 Health per second + 0.65% health regenerated per second.
Level 4: 20 Health per second + 0.70% health regenerated per second.
Level 5: 25 Health per second + 0.75% health regenerated per second.

And so on. That way, at level 20 the aura gives you 100 base health regeneration + the current 1.6% or so health regeneration. By the time you reach that level, it won't be a HUGE difference to your regneration, but would certainly be use-able.

^this, and it can open some possibilities for zealot oath+CI.

Vitality + inner force is amazing. There is very little life regen nodes in the skilltree and it exceeds them all. I use it over haste all the time.
