Heres how life steal works

1-x% life steal (x being your amount of LS)

this means 2 things for you.

1- The more life steal you have the less it get usefull point for point.
2- Life steal is inconsistant and depends on your damage output.

Life steal used to be just the number indicated ie: 10% LS = 10% LS not 10% life steal = 1-10% life steal.

Back when it was like this it was a lot more usefull, however today I would say str or EE > then LS. Not to mention getting stats on LS will make your kills
slower then say having some more str.

I would consider life steal to be a nice secondary mod now a days but not something you can build your character around anymore.

Oh and also

crits do LS
monsters have to be your level or higher to LS
in catacombs you have a %chance to LS

so your saying if you have 15% life steal..you actually steal 1-15% life of the damage you deal?

so i wld it be safe to say that a build with 15%ls, 90str from gear and a 200+ee weapon wld be decent?

No. Weapon choice doesn't make a difference.
