I am not trying to infinitely kite doing specks of damage to things. I want to get in its face, and blast it to death as fast as I can, and that means getting into a "danger" area instead of playing safely and leaning on my HP.
Nothing about a vita build prevents you from doing the same, but it doesn't mean you should at all times.

Seriously the rise of the spirit shield is like an anomaly on how the game is meant to be played, I am not saying different is bad, or adjustments are bad.. But it's bad because people completely forgot that blocking is TOTALLY MORE IMPORTANT than HP.. the anomaly is that if spirit was a +1 skill shield it would be garbage to most..
I went over this in an earlier post, there isn't much in this game you need to be worried about blocking. Spirit could have zero +skills and it would still be wildly popular due to the amount of FCR/FHR you get from it.

When I left the game in like 2005ish EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE followed the stat line of Get your STR, Get max Block.. THEN dump the rest into vit. Sure battle orders is potent, but it's not strong enough to sway me, and even the top HC players of the game still stick to this method. The pay off for one skill point and some cast rate.. just isn't as good as people have in their heads. Just my food for thought. I won't argue any more about it, this is how I play the game and how I would teach others, go sell your spirits to charsi.
And no.. 600 life is plenty when I rarely get hit, as in In after 4 hours of playing in Hell on various places in the map.. I never died. Throw a spirit on and add your vit.. death happens every 5 games..
I think you're remembering how people stated their characters incorrectly, vita has been far more popular even back in 2005.
If you don't wish to use spirit that's perfectly ok, but refusing to acknowledge the positives it brings to many builds is just ignorant.
