Is anyone stacking this affix and using it? How is it working? Unkillable or meh?
I wanted to try this on as many pieces as I could …but thought I would ask to see if anyone has already?
Seems the highest you can get is 243 with a GA. So even with it on 5 items that’s only ~1200 per second. Let’s say that doubles with masterworking that’s still only 2400. Which does sound like a lot. But as a barb I have 93k health. If I get hit for 50% of my health it’s going to take 24 seconds to heal to fill again. That’s a lot time to sit at low health.

I was using it for a bit while leveling and my health pool wasn’t that big but towards end game I found the aspect that gives % per skill use is much better.

how in the living christ do you have 93k health?
i barely pushed my druid to 10k after the new item changes

It’s garbage, it’s off by a whole decimal point.

It’s crucial in early leveling if you want to tackle helltides without constantly dying. At least now it’s actually useful in combat since it always ticks instead of only when you haven’t taken damage recently (which would make it useless for said helltides). It’s kind of worthless at endgame. Same with life on hit. Very useful early on, amost unnoticeable past mid-leveling. Life on kill is still moderately useful, if your build has room for it that is. With the itemization and affix changes, there just isn’t room for it anymore.
Its very meh. I have an aspect and skill as a druid that does a total of 3.8% per skill or 7.8% per skill if below 50% health and this is critical. Look for health percent on skill instead if you have it in your class anywhere. I can use skills to self heal almost entirely and sometimes need to use blood howl. Also dont cheap on investing in +% to healing. I have one skill point in Blood howl and it should heal for 23% and is healing for more like 80%

Druid feels a bit low on the life comparing it to Barb is pointless. We get better access to Resistance it seems on the paragon. I have recently gotten my Druid to 28,107 and that is with the +life affix on 5 pieces of gear.
I am still looking to possibly redo my paragon to optimize this a bit more.
My solution was to use Temerity with Undying on my helm. When I spam skills that can get up to 80% of my health so close to doubling it.
My lvl100 druid without the pot is at 52k. Are you using the boon for +30% to health?

Kinda a wasted affix as you get more bang for the buck by just equipping Undying aspect.

Undying is great to refill but if you dont have a max HP pool big enough to take huge single shots its useless.
Not useless when you use it with Temerity. You always have barrier unless you let yourself get overrun. You essentially can get another 80% your life pool.
I do use Undying, I was just more curious about this one. I have it on my helm as I have Selig as my Amulet.

Right now I have a lot of health on my gear and most of it is masterworked to 10/12
Helm: 1,921
Chest: 1,921
Gloves: 1,650
Boots: 1,346
2h mace: 2,925
1h: 1,703
1h: 1,703
2h axe: 3,406
Ring: 1,264
Ring: 1,329
Plus 4 ranks for a total 7 ranks of imposing presence adds 42%[×] to health. I have + health paragon nodes and red gems in all my gear. Brings me to 77,854 unbuffed. Health pot brings me to 93,400.
That’s nothing though. There’s one, albeit a very extreme case, that has 400k

hmmm probably not let me go look at that. 
edit: no I use +crit chance and +crit damage
So let me try changing this one…and it is 14% on mine. Thanks for pointing this out though, I set this a while back.
yeah barrier is a super useful approach as well. I would think it would be hard to barrier and boost life % through aspects or paragon. I think its kind of two paths to the same outcome.
it puts me at 32024.
But still good you pointed it out.
Because with my Temerity approach that is still close to 50k’s.
In the early game that is an easy choice in favor of crit.
But now in the pits it probably leans the other way.
Ok 14% sorry my mistake. 30% is the crit damg multiplier. Thats too powerful to remove. I dropped crit change for health. Crit can still get pushed hard. Without that boon Im at 60% Also are you all Ruby on your armor sockets?

Yes
You can get that crit chance very easily from gear. 5% is not a great boon compared to the health IMO.
There is also a ton of easy 2% paragon nodes you can grab. I went through and dropped a ton of 7% AP stuff for life.
