Blood Magic support gem,Health Regen, and the new patch

With the re-balance come some new and very apparent issues regarding the state of regen for skills that use Blood Magic, whether it be the Keystone skill or the support gem. Lowering the health gained by the passive skill tree means that regeneration is lowered as well since its a % of your health. This is a quality of life downgrade for any exile who uses regen, whether it be for the Righteous Fire build, Blood Rage, or as the title of this thread states, any skill that makes use of Blood Magic(especially the support gem), as the regen wont be able to compensate for the cost to use the skill.

I pray that I'm wrong, because i want to use the Support Gem for my build's main ability to allow my mana for Aura's exclusively.

Blood magic needed a nerf. I used it in almost all of my builds. It's go to for stacking auras. I'm guessing it will still be viable with life leech, though. Don't forget you can also run vitality, if you don't already, which will help with the regen.

You will have to compensate your blood magic with life leech, since life leech hasn't been downgraded.

R.I.P. Righteous Fire

2% elemental equilibrium + 4 purity + 8 Rise of the Phoenix + 75 base = 89
ALL LIFE NODES AND VITALITY = 8.9 life regen per second.

That unique created by some diamond who liked Righteous Fire is now absolutely fucking useless junk. Righteous fire will permanently be unsustainable.

Not only that, but life node nerfs, and life nerf in general.

As hard as it was to amass 12k hp, that only yielded 6kdps from RF due to 50% max life damage to minions (while 100% to yourself, always silly)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tl;dr: GGG just to an absolutely massive dump on anyone who used Righteous Fire in any way.

Keep on truckin'!
phys damage nodes will be increased so u will be leeching more bak which means no amount of life decrease will affect bloodmagic. less monster damage too. its not a nerf to BM its a buff lol.

Life is leeched back at a maximum of 20% (24% with 20 qual) of your life per sec.

Lower life pools = lower life regen per sec from both your normal regen and your life leech.


Life leech gem doesn't have to be downgraded in itself for it to leech at a lower rate.
Casually casual.

When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

my marauders and witches cast spells, they dont leech life from phys damage. They also both outspend their current life regen if I hold down fire.
