So I’ve gone by the build online, my defenses are great, but whenever I lose life I have zero healing. Is this how it’s supposed to be? Use potions only to heal or did I miss something?

which build

theres no "healing" or "life steal" in the spiritborn builds. your goal is to max out life as much as possible to grant better barrier. if you want, have armor near 1k and res near cap to have barrier last longer. Other than that, its potions to heal. should be getting 40% life per potion. i've never had problem with not having healing potions unless you pushing a boss thats way above your current capability.

There is a build using the Unyielding aspec that increase your weapon damage up to 30% of your armor, but you need to have 5k of armor for it to work.

lifesteal from scourge passive btw.

Ohhhh fr? Thx

I don't have to you a single healing potion with my spiritborn alt. Life steal, fortify and barrier generation come from passives. You even block incoming dmg.

Scourge healing and fueled skill points through either gear or a few skills. With how many kills you'll be getting the fueled more than takes care of any healing.
