New and Changed Gems in Path of Exile: Ultimatum

Kinda interested in new skills as league start, hmm.

Shouldn't petrified blood half the damage instead of lowering it by 40%? Cuz otherwise it's just a self-debuff without benefits.

They never nerfed anything halfway through a league.

It just does not seem worth it ... you just increase the risk of getting oneshot because its 40% converted to dot and not 50%.

With high regen type of character, this could be worth, while getting only 60% of initial hit in first moment, 30% is going during next 4 seconds, so 7,5% of damage per second. I think without testing and maybe seeing over 20lvl scaling, its hard to say its strong or shitty.
@Edit: Ah! Forgot to mention, that i think, characters which going for it, would have ones of the really high hp pool, so even with this 50% health reservation i think they should have at least something around 4k hp

Guess you didn't notice the stealthnerfs of mirror shards drops from Valdo's Rest harbingers in Ritual. A shame you missed the party(same as me) - some lucky people were dropping 3 mirror shards in one map.

Does reap hit and dot benefit from spell damage or is it only the DoT?

Spell damage is used by both parts, hit and dot
