Essence of Virtue (Gemling)

Do the buffs from int and str gems only sound weird to me? You get life and life regen, which you need when you are hit a lot. But then, if you are hit a lot you lose the motes, so you lose all your regen and life?

So with a regen of 1 mote per 2 seconds, wont you run around with almost none if you dont play evasion?

Don't understand either....

Probably got nerfed as always.
Clarification please. I wanna know more! Is it worth it? Or another failure?
How exactly protects the character by gaining barrier over time?

Im curious 🤔 too. Probably it protects from all damage type including chaos damage. But regaining barrier after hit is the main question here.

I thought that too about evasion. If you get hit and play with Armour the barrier will drop faster than EV. Weird implementation. We will see soon.
