Was wondering, has anyone ever tried a nado build with just Life leech? I know that at a higher dps, leech takes over LoH, but I've seen posts about how leech does not affect your nados, etc etc. Maybe the poster(s) just have their info wrong, but I've looked around and haven't found anything to confirm or deny the matter.
-Has anyone ever made a nado build with just Life leech?
-If so, how does it fare to a LoH build?
Thanks in advance!
loh is better in general still, you have constant ticks of damage with a flat return(well some DR) compared to a damage scaling spell, you want the 100% return. BUT if you have higher dps it is true life steal becomes better(but not to the point at least for a ww barb that itll make it better) Unless you somehow have like 120k dps unbuffed lol. Combination of two = amazing ofc

Around 1k loh and a little life steal = amazing.
To fully answer your question in TL;DR
Loh>Life steal in most cases, BUT the combination is mazing, and yes the life steal does work better with higher dps and yes does work with nados.
Btw a quick explanation to as why:
Life steal is based on %damage done to the monster(Nadoes has a low amount of that BUT ticks faster meaning it hits more) this makes loh superior.
