Revert life penalty on Giant's Blood

When 30K ES kings and queens eating cakes, 2h-mace hobo has his shoes pulled off, to be "in balance" with 1h-mace hobo. Now we have 2 hoboes without shoes, but kings and queens are still in favor.

Just remove life penalty from strenght due Giant's Blood, like it was before and buff 1h (for example decrease or even remove penalty from dual wielding for 1h).

+1000 hobos with maces need love not more dirt

+1

It does not even make any sense.

And reduce damage for 40% instead

It really should be changed back to how it was. Maces are already by far the least popular weapon, and ES is so drastically more powerful than life. This change made no sense.

Needs a downside for the massive damage you are gaining.

Nah. poe.ninja says only 2% of players are using Giant's Blood right now, and if you go look at the players, they are almost all banner bot group players holding 1 Hammer of Faith mace and 1 sceptre. They aren't even duel wielding maces.

Overall, it's an unpopular keystone, because it's not balanced well.

Use rate on poe.ninja is not indicative of power or if something is "balanced well"

I agree but not reduced health. Something like less damage or less attack speed would be better.

It's generally a pretty good indicator of what the majority of the playerbase view as good and not good.
