I absolutely love the unique effect that it has, but its mechanics, damage scaling, and tooltip transparency are far below what should be expected of D3 items in 2019. On top of that, it’s a cache legendary, an item that should have a powerful and unique effect and be rewarding, rather than completely disappointing. My personal suggestion should be to have it be affected by all types of damage scaling (LoD, physical damage buffs, mainstat, etc.) to bring it up to par with other items and allow it to be used in unique builds by people that want to experiment and still do relatively well. It also has some janky mechanics related to Life per Second gained from outside sources (particularly, Barb’s passives regarding Life regeneration). It’s neither an intuitive item, nor does it necessarily do what it’s supposed to, and I think it is high time that changes.

I highly agree. The necromancer could be the main user combining thorns with deaths bargain would be the ultimate end game build.
