ok..if i wanted to make a build that depended on lifesteal what wld i need besides lots of ls% str and high ee weapon?

also..can you steal from any monster in arena or only certain kinds?

do you ls only when critting or at every hit?

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?

Ask devilwithin from your guild to see how his life steal gear works. He has nice little ls setup

hmm..must have it in vault cuz i dont see it on his chars(unless im blind)haha

well imo Life steal < stats Power shot try it its gz



12 power shot give you resultat of 50str

if you get 50str 8-10 ps charm you got 100 stats life steal is nn atm when you got hybrides and catas

well i wldnt say that but a i think a good combo of the two wld be gz

but isnt that best for weapons that have a wide range of damage?

A_U_T_I_S_M doesn't understand game mechanics, don't use any math guide he writes

No. Weapon choice doesn't make a difference.
