I've noticed it gave me a MASSIVE boost in survivability, going from dying in 3 seconds if im not behind my scourge to being able to tank a whole room of enemies in Fauztinville.
Blessed life reduces the incoming physical damage. This is capped at 50%, no matter from what source other than blessed life the DR comes.
Say for example that an enemy does 1000 damage in total. You will only lose 500 life.
HOWEVER, blessed life also reduces the damage by a flat value, which is applied before the 50%.
For example if you have both 50% damage reduction and 200 flat damage reduction, the formular will be like this:
(Incoming damage - flat damage reduction)* percentual damage reduction = lost life
(1000 -200) * 0,5 = lost life
800 * 0,5 = 400
So you end up losing only 400 life with those 2 values, even though the original attack does 1000 damage.
And 400 damage is a lot easier to outheal than 1000 damage.
