Anyone tried a pure life steal or life on attack char?

1. Life steal is based on how much damage you do, and without gear that adds to your damage; life steal would be relatively worthless. This is not to mention that life steal was already nerfed into a near useless state. 10% = 1-10% vs. a straight 10.

2. Life does nothing for you if you don't have a solid defense which would involve higher intelligence and dexterity levels + hopefully a high EE plate. Other than the one possibility of a pure tank for catas, this would also be a relatively worthless build. People would probably prefer a tank that also does good damage.

Wrong, life steal is EXTREMLY usefull.

11 life steal at level 30 gives me easy 30-full level chains.
10 life steal at level 20 also.
6 life steal at level 55+ gave me a extra 3-7 monster count.

Life steal build is simply amazing if you don't use life steal over other stats. try to have a good ratio to e.e + stats to life steal.

Example :

20 str / 5 life steal level 20 plate
25 str / 5 life steal level 20 charm
106 e.e / 6 life steal level 30 plate
40 str / 2 life steal level 40 plate
42 str / 6 lr / 4 life steal level 40 charm.

Life steal is far from useless - you just need twice as much of it as you used to to get the same effect.

But now that you need other stats AS WELL as life steal, gear gets really expensive.

vouche =\

but doesn't life steal cap at 15%?

made up stats what!?

per item its 14

Well I thought I read it thats why I phrased it as a question..not a statement ....

Don't be such a douche about your comments..and you wonder why I don't like agreeing with you even when you're right.

I'll try and find it.

it was a joke, I meant I never heard anything like that and I would have liked some proof if it was indeed true
knew I should have put in some sort of smiley to make my post look friendlier
