Life Mastery passive

There is this bonus "15% increased maximum Life if there are no Life Modifiers on Equipped Body Armour."

This is misleading, as you will get that 15% bonus even if you don't wear any body armor.

I think that node should work like the way that you get that bonus only if you wear some sort of body armor, and that does not have any Life modifier.

No chest is still lacking a chest with life modifiers. The only use case for someone not to wear a chest armor that I can think of is Bringer of Rain where you have to give up a chest piece, so there is nothing wrong with giving those players 15% life since they don't have a chest with life on it.

Yes, of course, but if you read the text of what that node says, I will understand that you must be equipped with body armor to have that benefit.
Since it doesn't work as described, and I believe we never had a confirmation that it works correctly, it belongs in Bug Reports rather than Feedback and Suggestions.

This interaction suggests the mastery cares about life modifiers provided by your body inventory slot rather than by equipped body armour. Which is quite interesting, because you don't usually think that inventory slots have something to do with modifiers. It reminds me how jewel sockets in the passive tree works.

As for the stat description, accurate wording would be more complicated to understand and would only cover bodiless cases, which are pretty niche. So probably not worth it.
