Did they state somewere that there will be a crafting bench.

Not directly, people who tried the game on one of the latest CBT noticed the bench and there's some footage going around online.

The idea behind it is that you will salvage junk equipment and store 1 of its modifiers to raise the tier of w/e mod you're after, i.e. Life, and you keep salvaging items with flat life until you reach the desired Tier you want to craft on your equipment.

Sadly, I can't find the clip of footage or a screenshot I recall seeing back in November.

One major problem is that life growth is now almost linear while energy shield has an exponential growth. If you can get both higher base value of energy shield and higher increased % energy shield while you almost only get higher base value of life, either energy shield by far outgrows life or energy shield becomes useless early game.

Maybe if GGG don't want us to have life nodes, they could have just made level ups give us +% life as well, like +2% life per level. Then life and energy shield gets more similar scaling.
