I'm climbing as a melee samurai, and I'm not sure if I should be looking for LS on my gear (with the nerfing it got).

Is welling even feasable with a melee samu?

as a seconday mod, it's always worth it on melee (definitely cant hurt) but I can gear up 21% ls and I've found it's nowhere near as useful as it used to be. I definitely dont use it as main mod anymore.

welling will be very hard unless you have a great gear :/

lifesteal does not hurt but you better look for good armor with high defense , STR , then life steal if you have the fg

Yeah... I'm thinking about forgetting life steal and just using str. I don't have a whole lot of FG to put towards gear, so i was hoping to spend 19.99 or less on each piece until i hit 55. I'm finding it difficult to get the gear I need to be effective, so I might take a break and build a weller.

then f you keep playing melee, go for str stuff and lvl faster with catacombs
