While I really like the idea of the ability itself, its mechanics, and especially new Minor Lifesteal buff, I can't help but feel like its effects are near ineffective. Perhaps not ineffective in the absolute sense, but in comparison to other ability options, there are better choices out there. I would like to see Blood Altar and its morphs be more competitive with other abilities and maybe give a 5% buff instead of the current 2% buff. If not that, then maybe an added HoT while in the ability's radius (sort of like Refreshing Path). It's bad enough the ability has a cast time, at least make the ability worth slotting and make it compete with healing abilities like Vigor and Regeneration.
