I got a Chaingmail the other day. And the special affix is "After earning a survival bonus, quickly heal to full Life". What does this mean?
As I understand this, the chest piece will heal you, if you are close to death. But only if you are no longer in combat? If this is correct, I am wondering if this isn't a stupid bonus for a HC character. Its a little late to get the free healing after the fight is ended?
You get a "survival bonus" every time you are below 10% health and exit combat (which may just be if you run away and don't hit anything for a couple of seconds). There's also the "Survivor" achievement. I have that chest as well, but since I still didn't get the Survivor achievement after hundreds of hours of playtime, I don't think it's worth it.
Edit: Corrected my mistake about how survival bonus works. Thanks halvlitern for pointing that out.
No, not every item has one of these game-breaking affixes. Some legendaries just offer an affix that usually doesn't roll on that slot, i.e., Tyrael's Might gives MS on chest; it's not game-breaking, but might be useful for some.
If you have 300 legendaries there are always some that are better and some that are worse. You cannot possibly have 300 equally good items. It's just impossible.
Yeah, there are some legendaries with special affixes that not everyone likes, i.e., I'm not too keen on this one. But I'm sure some HC players like the chest.
And as Bagstone said in a reply to my Chaingmail question:"After earning a survival bonus, quickly heal to full Life"...He said It will heal you mid combat, if you get under 10% life. No offence bagstone, but I think you are wrong. And that was a bit of topic.
I would agree with Baggy, I think I've managed to earn a total of about 20 survival bonuses, I assume using potions/healing skills and picking up globes prevents earning the bonus or something?
They promised that all legendaries will make you say "wow, that's cool", but there are still leg items that don't have anything special. Why did they spend time to bring those items in this patch if they aren't better?

You have to drop below 10% health and then not take a hit for 2-3 seconds so a short sprint away from them can help.
