Petrified Blood allows us to play Lowlife without needing a secondary hitpool. It prevents 40% of the damage we take from hits below half of our life, and then applies a percentage of the prevented damage as damage over the next 4 seconds. It also stops any life recovery other than flasks at the 50% Lowlife treshold. This is important as it lets our life leech instances, which would normally stop when reaching full life, remain for their full duration as long as we don't reserve more than 49% of our life. This effectively helps countering the damage we take from this skills mechanic and DoT damage, which is unaffected by the 40% prevention.

It's important that Petrified Blood is not linked to the other gems in this setup!

Arrogance makes linked skills reserve life instead of mana and slightly increases their effect.

Herald of Purity provides a physical damage multiplier and occasionally lets us spawn sentinels, which can add some distraction for enemies but are otherwise unimportant for us.

Vitality grants life regeneration and unlike most other auras, it reserves a specified value based on gem level instead of a percentage. This is important as it allows us to adjust its level to stay at 49% life reservation.

It's so we gain what's commonly referred to as overleech.

Life leech instances have a duration, but will prematurely end upon reaching full life. The lowlife treshold is 50% and Petrified Blood will prevent our leech to heal any missing life above that. If we reserve 49% of our life, we still have 51% left but can't heal beyond 50% and therefore never reach full life.

This means that our life leech instances will remain for their full duration and help us sustaining any damage we might take, including the 4s DoT we take from Petrified Blood after getting hit.

So let's say I have 100 HP.
I need to reserve no more than 49 HP (the upper part of the HP pool).
The lower part (the red part) will have 51HP left but Petrified Blood won't let it reach 51 because it holds it at 50. So it will never reach the leech threshold.

Is that it?

I need the 5 y/o explanation to understand lul
