Life situation

8794 life is the highest right now and it can be achieved by sacrfing elemental resistances and playing blood mage with a 1000+ es body armour(converted to life).

25612 energy shield is the highest without sacrifing any resistance. https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1kclpz5/we_need_petrified_blood/

We need the ability to scale more our HP.
"Tree should enhance gear" was the sentence said in an interview and giving the only tool to scale life through strength (giving 2 flat life per strength) feels bad. We should have 0.25% maximum life/strength or more ways to max our life in the tree.

If we talk only for physical damage, it's like having 75% PDR on life character against a ES base character with no PDR. And i'm not talking about elemental damage and chaos that can just be ignored with chaos inonculation.

We need more stuff for life only based character, like Petrified blood (i made a reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1kclpz5/we_need_petrified_blood/)
