So I'm level 99 running an Exsanguinate/Corrupting Fever build.
I am totally in love with both of these new skills, but there is one little QoL change I would like to see. I understand why Corrupting Fever has a 'life spent' mechanic in order for the buff to auto refresh. I also understand why it shouldn't be a small number, it would prevent linking like flame dash to spend life to easily keep it refreshed...however... The Buff Duration life cost refresh is nearly TWICE the cost of my 6-linked Exsanguinate. That means if I hit a stretch of a map where I am forced to cast at the air, or having to stand around waiting for certain boss phases (Sirus, Shaper, etc), I have to cast the spell twice just to keep my Corrupting Fever buff refreshed. My suggestion would be to cut the refresh cost of Corrupting Fever in half, that way it would stay in range of a fully 6 linked skill being able to refresh it in one cast.

I love fever - but having it disappear with a nullifier makes it borderline unplayable. Only skill in the game where that will nuke 99% of your damage. It feels so awful that it has to be an oversight.

Hey,
It seems really weird to apply max stacks with Ball Lightning for example. Wouldn't it be better with an internal cooldown (like you did for PvP if I remember it well)? |

I hope GGG will revisit the life cost on this skill. It was already extremely prohibitive on builds that focused on it, but the mana multiplier nerfs on most support gems in 3.15 have made it unplayable.
My Guardian build from 3.14 now has Corrupting Fever cost 7.6k life, on a build that only has 5.8k HP. The skill wasn't even particularly strong, I was using it just for clearing trash mobs while mapping, with most of my damage coming from Herald of Purity. |

A decent 6L Corrupting Fever now cost more than 12k life to cast.
Why did GGG kill this skill? Current usage: <0.1%. Is "skill diversity" still a thing? |

Just another not worth it skill due to drawbacks.
