Why is this?

Hey, I'm pretty new and hope to use this as my first build in Beyond.

Is it really not worth picking up the Lust for Carnage cluster in 1.2?
For 5 points you get;
3% physical attack damage leeched as life
30 life gained on kill
4 life gained for each enemy hit by your attacks (also, does that mean if I groundslam a group of say 10 I get 10x4 life?)

It just seems like a super fun cluster to me, especially with bloodmagic and stuff.

Any of you guys have lvled this on Beyond? If so, can you tell me how its doing? if its viable or not, specially against the '' beyond mobs '' that spawn when you kill many of trash mobs together.. i´ve been having some problems against those..

And about BM, do you guys pick it early on or you wait until like cruel or something cuz of the ''huge life pool'' that you need to keep up with it?

Thanks a lot for even reading this (=

This build has a huge life pool by design. If you've taken the health and regen nodes along the way to blood magic, you should be able to endlessly spam your abilities without even seeing your health bar drop. I got it in Act 2 normal, and was already so tanky that the only mobs that could make my life bar flicker were rare mobs and bosses, even spamming my abilities. I had never used blood magic before, and was so impressed with it that I already have several new builds I want to try with it once I'm done with this one!

Keep in mind: the node just beyond blood magic, with the reduced amount of reservation for auras, can be extremely handy. I grabbed that and linked Vitality to to a reduced mana gem, and now for only about 10% of health pool, I gain a free 1% - 1.6% life regen per second, which makes quite a difference! Once I level a bit more, and get some better gear, I also hope to run the Purity of Elements aura, to cap out my resistances without having to pick gear specifically based on its resistance values (I sacrificed the passive resistance nodes in favor of more life regen and life leech). If my resistances end up being well met by gear, then I can use the new Herald of Ash skill gem to gain more DPS.

Thanks very much for the answer man.. i think im doing it then.. unfortunately i don´t have reduced mana.. and just another question, this spamming you say, is with Life on Hit gem right?
