thinking lots of surv, with enough damage to work.
Well you haven't allocated any points to any specific weapon types.

Also any reason to not pick Blood Magic taking into consideration that you havent picked any INT and mana nodes? The same goes for Diamond Skin or Lava Lash.

i didnt take any weapon specific because i end up changing weapons depending on what is needed, would you have a better setup for level 60(ish)?
Blood magic is getting a nerf with the next patch because the nerf life regin will get.

So i don't see blood magic tanky builds viable now.

Yeah because going from a 0.5 to 0.4 % life regen for normal nodes and because Golem's Blood will become 1.5%.
It will certainly make any Blood Magic builds un-viable (*sarcasms)

it will and you'll see for your self.
just calculate how much you'll lose in term of life regn % and you'll see it's a huge factor when it comes to things like chaos damage or poison which you mosly relay on your passive regn.

no need for the sarcasm man i'm just stating my opinion.

Ohh did i forgot to mention the nerfing of block?

The real impact of this nerf will vary from build to build since the regen is based on max health anyways.
It will certainly not make Blood Magic unviable, its somewhat a big nerf but nothing to really worry about.

After doing some math you will most likely still end up with more regen than you need, and in my opinion the patch will just change the order in which you have to take your nodes to create a viable build.


And block is for pussies anyways, 2 handed weapons ftw ;)

If they add 2 more .4% life regn mods then yes the impact can be negated some how.
But as i said again natural regn is a major defense against poison/chaos damage that no amount of +armor can help with.

And regarding block aren't we still talking about tanky builds and blood magic?

You don't think about the reason for this nerf, atm you can achieve much more regen than you actually need to survive, the patch obviously decreases the amount of regen, but not to a degree where Blood Magic build get unviable, more to a point where you've got the regen you need but not more.

There is no thing like poison damage in this game, poison skills simply deal chaos damage but thats just by the way.

The need of a shield to be "tanky" is also highly arguable.

i understand that why i said poison/chaos damage and while this damage is a DOT you can counter it with things like your regn passives to the point where your health just stop regenerating.
now lower your regenerate by a whole 1.2% while maintaining your aura and casting from your health during this chaos DOT and tell me what you got.

it WILL have an impact on blood magic build and a huge one that is.
