On my own mage, I dropped Lifegiver once the free respect came. Its not very useful when you can die from one hit on an elite map. I replaced it with Arcane Shield. And I am liking it way better. The issue is mobs with range attacks like bows or guns. I feel like I am frequently targeted by them and can die easily. Also I know some mages aren't even carrying any defensive skills so I wouldn't expect mages to be mana healing you. I also play a warrior and while I don't like the change to Vengeful Blood, its still pretty good. Now I am just using mana pots and will probably leverage a pet with mana regen when I need to. In my opinion between playing a warrior vs a mage its cheaper and easier to play a warrior. However I don't think they should have nerfed vengeful blood. You can't expect everyone to have the same build, if so then they should eliminate all other skills except the 4 they want people to use.
