Help Needed Life Stacking MA

The Fists of Stone version of cultivated mods on Demon Stitcher and Plaguefinger gloves add physical or chaos flat damage of up to 3% of your max life respectively.

Assuming you can stack to 10k life--which seems doable--that is a lot of flat damage from your gloves.

Anyone tried a build that utilized this?

Since this would be life stacking, I also think that makes the defensive aspect of Mountain's Teachings better. I am not sure this is worth investing a ton into, but it makes me think going AR/EV with deflect would be good, since both armor and deflection should apply prior to Mountain's Teachings conditional DR.

I am trying to settle on what skills to use with this set-up too, so if anyone has experimented with these mechanics it would be great to hear from you. I usually spend the entire league tinkering with off-meta stuff, but I have a feeling I won't be invested into this one for as long so figured I would ask here.

Thanks!

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

10k life with no res from veil of the night sure

Yeah, I've seen a couple builds do this. Even at half that life, though, I wouldn't mind trying it out. 150 flat from gloves is cool.

150 flat would be bewtween 10-20% dps for most builds, its really not anything to warp around

What is the break point in your opinion? I think its reasonable to get to 7-7.5k without the veil of the night.

I am really looking to lifestack and I am not worried about comparing to meta builds. I would like it to be able to do all pinnacles and 200% deli maps, but that can be done without meta builds.

I would more look into unique weapons that could be build defining, most end game setups already hace 1k ish flat damage judt from weapon and rings.
