I actually really like the bloodmage changes I just wish they also made Sangumancy not ONLY a downside. I wish it had less mana cost or something as well as the downside of life cost.
I dunno man, Between the Cracks is completely useless when you already break Armor instantly anyway with the armor-break on crit node. Bleed is a toss-up, but I have a feeling that it's still going to be bad unless we get some completely cracked supports for it, in which case it becomes mid.
I think either BloodMage needs a complete rework to Sanguimancy or it needs all of the stuff that isn't the crit nodes to get some major improvements. The concepts are there, and I like them. They just aren't fully realized imo.
I really, really wanted blood mage to get an effect like the Burden of Shadows has where you get extra damage as phys or chaos depending on life cost of the skill. Makes investing in sustaining the life cost feel more worthwhile or you can go higher risk and increase the life cost to get more damage.

Add bloodmage to that.
