Divergent Blood Rage:Buff grants (0–0.4)% of Elemental Attack Damage leeched as Life...
What could replace Elemental Attack Damage leech, now with the end of alt gems?

You can roll that on gloves(eldritch implicit), but it is only one specific type of damage like cold not all elemental afaik.

The problem with this is that I lose the gem's physical attack leech bonus, on an elemental attack build; Now it's useless... and I also lose a space for the implicit on gloves to replace it.
I just don't understand why a transfigured version of this gem wasn't created for elemental attack leech or they could just take out the physical and elemental attack damage leech separately and just get "attack damage leeched as life" on the standard version of the blood rage gem...
Mainly to balance the degen that this gem causes:
"You take 4% of your Maximum Life per second as Physical Damage";
"You take 4% of your Maximum Energy Shield per second as Physical Damage".

The fact is that you can only defend physical damage overtime with armor and on top of that:Why you can only mitigate it with physical attack damage leech? After all, it's mainly "physical attack damage" on the RED side of passive tree for those who have a lot of armor already. BUT WAIT... it's a GREEN gem!!! to generate frenzy... All "elemental damage with attack skills" points are in the green part of the passive tree... not in the red one to alow only physical attack damage leech and armor to mitigate the degen. As it stands today, it favors those on the red side of the Tree more than those on the green side, which the color of the gem represents. From that point of view, blood rage gem should be a source of ELEMENTAL ATTACK DAMAGE LEECH by default for being a green gem...And evasion or spell supression should mitigate better the degen than armor.

Armor doesn't reduce phys dmg over time.
