It would be really cool to see some discussion from the game designers on how they're able to successfully play test life based builds in maps without dying, while doing moderate damage.

I hear this from a bunch of people but I don't understand it. How have people been using life builds before the "recent" CI buffs? They obviously were, and even without Koam's.

Life is stronger now than it was then with the monster damage reduction, so I don't understand how life is crippled and punished.

I thought the only change is that CI is relatively stronger now. Everyone was using life before that happened and nothing else has changed, no?

CI had better survivability than life because Life users generally used armor. Armor is useless because it basically offers no protection from big hits(I get it. If you hit steel armor hard enough it will bend but this is a fantasy game!). Fixing the broken armor mechanic or a bigger life pool would have helped but Kaoms Heart ruined that having 10 times more life than most other items. So what do they do? Nerf CI again.. This game has some good content but it's obvious that the balance people have no idea what they are doing. I was about to get stash tabs for my 2nd account that I have friends use but what's the point if my build is constantly getting nerfed because of other broken mechanics.

This, and I am not even a CI user. I only and always you life/armor but I am forced in the full blown life build.
Thought this game was all about building your character the way you want and variety.

The broken armor mechanic is totally ruining everything: First life gets nerfed (result of monster damage nerf but does not matter: Armor still does not work against big hits) and now CI gets nerfed too.

Instead of reducing monster damage and nerfing life you should have reworked armor mechanics and BUFFED life

Kripparian is using ES, thats why Life is shit now. Most people also tend to ignore that while ES only gives you ES and nothing else, Life gives you a lot more like for example regen, posibility to stack auras, use it to cast spells, instantpots and you automatically get Armour/ER. But hey, Life should give the exact same amount ES gives right?
