Petrified Blood - Help Please

So, playing with PB and like it so far.

The only real problem I have is dealing with DOTS. (Bleed,Ignite,Poison,Spells,etc)
What solutions have you used to avoid DOT damage.

With the health pool graphic being 1/2 the the normal size. It is hard to notice a problem out of the corner of your eye before it is too late. DEAD!!

It's one of the downsides of the ability, it's true. Since it already changes the look of the health orb, I wish they would've made it so 50% life = full health orb and over 50% life = some other effect. Would make this sort of thing easier to judge based on the UI.

Anywho, remember that the ability gives you inherent overleech. So any life leech build should be able to keep nigh 100% of their leech cap nigh 100% of the time. This helps with a lot of dots though may still hit you by surprise if the leech runs out before the dot does after a fight.

I believe this is only true if you make sure to reserve less than 50% of your Life, because hitting your maximum unreserved Life also removes all Life Leech effects.

True.

And and having overleech is one of the reasons I"m using PB (peanut butter) in my current build.

Perhaps it is just more of a graphics problem. The area is small and the graphic looks cool. But for a HUD it is very noisy and easy to miss when things a problem. Between the 'bone' fingers and the two tone life pool it blurs a bit. One tone being your normal life, and one tone showing your accumulated life lose over time from taking a hit.

For now, I'm think I'm going to see if I can mitigate the DOT dmg types with more resistance and/or avoidance. If anyone has suggestions that would be nice.


side note: we need a skill gem that pairs with PB and starts with the letter J :)
I'm thinking. 'Judgement' or 'Justice' a strong counter-attack while on low life

I'm running PB for the first time long-term this league and this is what has convinced me to check the "Show Mini Life Bar Above You" radio button under Options -> UI.

Thank you.
I didn't even think about that option.
