    Cryptic changed the way it works. Before, you stole the percentage on every hit; now, you percentage represents how often you can do a 100% life steal.

    For example, 5% used to represent a 5% steal on every hit; now, it represents a 5% chance of stealing 100%, which is stealing 100% once every 20 hits. Bad thing with this is if you happen to steal on a low-point hit, you pretty much won't notice it.

    Stats change as you level up. I can't remember off the top of my head right now, but I think you might need somewhere around 4k to get close to 10%. Don't quote me, though.

    Its suppose to be 400 stat pts for every 1%. So yeah 4,000 should be about right

    That's the math I heard on the other post as well. I would imagine that it would be less than 1% the more it goes up, like 8k LS not equaling 20%.

    8k IS 20 percent. There is no cap below 100 percent.

    Thanks for the input! I'm thinking of investing in this stat over Deflec for my PvP TR. My math is putting me just under 20%.

    Check boons too, I think I saw a couple of life steal boons around.

    I had already factored in the 800 from the boons. Not factoring in the % from the ToD final boon because F getting that one.

    My Acolyte of Kelemvor keeps me at 25% life steal for the majority of time in combat. I have just over 10% normally, but her life steal boost is just amazing.

    Good to know! I'll probably invest in one, too.
