CI and Low Life -- totally inconsistent, Please rethink this!!!!

Melee CI *can* be one of the best builds in game. Its vulnerability is not status ailments, that's easy to get around.
Imho its perfectly balanced just for 3 reasons:

YOU DONT CARE ABOUT HP ON EQ
YOU DONT CARE ABOUT HP TALENTS

YOU DONT PLAY PATH OF LIFE NODES

and thats just great.

Please help me understand why it makes any sense at all for CI builds to get all the disadvantages of low life (i.e. 1hp) such as being stunned and frozen so easily and none of the advantages such as monsters being unlucky on Lori's Lantern or 100% increased rarity on Wonder Traps. This is very inconsistent and I am asking that the Dev's rethink this and either treat CI builds as being low life or not... it's simply unfair to want to have it both ways. CI has enough other challenges without having additional penalties heaped on top.


CI is pretty fucked atm unless you have TONS of high es gear to support it

Shavs is expensive as hell (50 ex a 6L i think)
You cant see shit, literally nothing in indoor maps
You have less ES because shavs only has 500 ES and you missing 20% more es behind CI
You get stunned due to low life, also perma chilled (which sucks so much imo) and ignited + shocked
The unlucky ring is only good for pvp imo
Chayula ftw. All one needs is 2 anti-freeze/chill flasks and you're good to go.
You also can use a dream fragments if you like to play with only one hand

2 anti-freeze/chill flasks is not going to keep you from being freeze locked if you're fighting double merveil or on maps with extra damage as cold, btw.

You'll need to give up another slot for another fairly useless item in dream fragments. And even then you're still talking about 5 second chill durations from anything that breaths on you with cold damage.

No, you don't. I run a RF + PA build. I've run plenty of high lvl maps. 2 flasks, and you're done. Would never give up a ring slot for DF.

^ ironic since I used to wear one in CB, and not chayula lol
why would you not being running with Chayula and Dream Fragments on a CI build? are you new?
