Go to sleep, Mardek.

Good question.

Honestly - I'm one of the few (ok, fine, there are like two) people who actually agrees with some of the points he made, and at this point I'm just keeping up with that to try to calm down some of the people on that thread who are being asses to him.

I might have to move over to General Suggestions as a whole . . .

I would not describe it as "OP" -
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/builder#7_0iw0iv0ix0jP0Jf0m60u90RW05v1B0t-p1B1B1L00000zz++++-zsEJ3RV1 is a Warrior build for level 85 that doesn't use it (and, I'd like to add, Blade of Purity has better DPS),

whereas https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/builder#7_0u30s20kT0Bn0Jf02C0ZR0uc0QL0U0t-l220+1L000010066Ozz++++-zsEJ3RV1 is a build that does use it - indeed, it is more powerful, but by a small margin, since the HP is the only thing that is higher, and the life sustain is indeed lower on this build (even given a perfect lifesteal Apocalypse).

And then, I might point out, it pales in comparison relative to other classes - https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/builder#7_0iw0iv0ix0jP0Jf02C0NH0Jc0QO1B0t-n1L1Q1L00001006COzz++++-z3tFwTF uses a level 69 mythic for assassin, and even that is more powerful (significantly so).
