Are you supposed to cast manual Blood Novas to get the Iron Rose buff going, or is it something that you’ll naturally gain during the rift?
In GRs usually the buff will activate from monster damage easily enough - siphon life after all gives you enormous recovery so getting hit regularly is fine.
In speed situations or if you grab a shield pylon throwing out a few manually cast blood novas might be needed - but the buff lasts a long time so its still easy enough to maintain.

I learned that not only Shield Pylon, but also the regular Reduce Damage Shrines can prevent Iron Rose stack as well.
