So can any1 explain me why its QOL hidden behind unreliable buff? Everything okay and suddenly im not a character for next 10 sec. Is any particular reason of bacchanalia having cd more than buff lasts?

Just look at what bacchanalia giving and how it feels to play with or without it. Question sounds same as "hey, lets remove bacchanalia at all and make blood ama skills op af". Still if you want permanent bacchanalia buffs - just balance on 2/3 of max life (activating it with bloodlust wasn't even thing in pre-sigma so blood zon ALREADY got serious buff)

Open your eyes and look at question again. Main concern was about bacchanalia having cd more than buff lasts.

Basicly what hes saying - if you dont want to play bloodzon with these mechanics, play a different char. And hes right.

Cause its the idea behind the build - blood magic - hurt yourself to get more power :D
If you dont like the concept, flamefront sorc / slayer paladin - same playstyle without bacchanalia.

Or you try out the ssu Crimson Dream shield. Spells cost life instead of mana. So you should be at low life all the time.
I played a bloodzon myself and i enjoyed it. Max synergie to fire elementals and they are pretty good tanks with points into dev. harmony.
So playing with low life isnt rly a problem.

Of course i am. As i told - before Sigma it was ONLY way to enable Bacchanalia spell damage and skill improvements. And even then it was pretty ok.

its just a specific playstyle. bloodzon at 2/3 hp has more life than a majority of builds at full hp. that's the purpose of the blood spec. high hp and "blood magic" as was already explained. you just get used to balancing lower hp. Balefire drains hp for a reason, just work that into your casts (plus it does quite good damage)

other items like
The Seal of Kharos

have hp drain as well.
