Blood Magic - Does it give me my mana as life?
|
Blood magic removes all mana and uses life for casting spells. But will it add my existing mana to my life? It would be a pity of all the intelligence points if it doesn't.

No, it's not a good idea if your build is high on int.

It's not high on int. And I can reallocate the int points actually. It's a Ranger.
But the question is... is it worth it? I use a lot of magic via the arrow skills. Perhaps I will wait until I get Golem Blood and my life regeneration is decent. My article promoting PoE:

Pre patch I had a 62 blood magic frenzy ranger, all I had to do was get a decent amount of life leech % and it worked out fine and I could constantly spam skills.
Although auras were a pain with blood magic with reserved %, flat amounts are fine. |

There's a blood magic support gem these days, which might be useful if you're wary about using life for absolutely everything or wasting intelligence points.

I made a little calculation and with Golem Blood + requirements for it, I get 3% life regen. That's actually fantastic 'cause if you have 500 life, that's 15 life regeneration / second, much more than I get with a Ranger from mana regeneration.
A Marauder would be even more devastating, as you could get both Troll Blood and Golem Blood for a massive total of 5% life regen / second. My article promoting PoE:

" Fine by me, that gives you alot more flexebility. |
|
" I like the idea of life stealing more, because if you are under alot of pressure, you cannot spam your spells as much, because you would die to soon. |

Not if your normal attacks are spells. Like for example with my Marauder I'm always using Glacial Hammer and with my Ranger all sorts of special arrows.
Also, life steal or not: life regeneration is good because it's passive.

Just a little question, is dual strike considered as a spell or 2 normal attacks? If so, then lifesteal would be ideal.
I've only been able to play in the open beta weekend, so I don't know all the ins and outs. |
