you dont want to be having low lifepool at all times and try to compensate it with LoH or LS.
being melee, it's better to start off with good defense, survivability, in which all these are simply measured in EHP.
then, only comes LoH/LS. EHP first. if you die too fast. having godly LoH/LS also wont help.
the same as having 300k dps DH, but you die in 1hit. no point for that.
there are two distinct builds. you balance up ur defense then only slowly raise your dps. that is the right way.
by focusing too much on offensive build, you will always end up stucked in low MP levels.
some prefer to focus only offense, and they are comfortable farming in low MP. if in that case, you dont have to worry about low EHP.
high offence with low life + no LS/LoH keep you dying at higher MP.. =p
