I never used it and got first enchantment with it. Can someone tell me how many points give how much % of dmg returned as hp?

PVPer rocking it Solo queue style since the dawn of Neverwinter
It's pretty simple, 1% life steal = 1% of your dmg as healing.
100 dmg = 1 health.
Thank you captain. I was asking about life steal attribute on items. They come with 10 LS, 30 LS etc.
How much you need scales with your level and such. I don't think that anyone has worked out the exact numbers yet.
Actually it should be the same regardless of enchants or gear.
Ability Scores || All Attribute Roll Combinations || My Cleric Stream \o/
100 ls rating=1%.
Its not hard to calculate, all you have to do is get 100 rating and use that rusted brain thingy....
Oo
Yes but thankfully humans are sentient species and chooses not to bash into the wall or trying to climb it, when there is a walk around close by.. Asking on class forum is much more quicker and easier than buying the gear just to make your own tests. Especially if you are low level and got just a single equiupment with such stat and there are hundreds of high level forum users on the forum... Plus, answered question on forum might be helpfull to someone else. You see? Using brain doesnt hurt indeed.
Yes, if you already socket the enchantment and unsocket previous one for the valuable in-game currency. o.O
That said I have yet to see anyone stack it...so would be interesting to see the results of that
At low levels regen is much more effective as your hps are much higher then your dmg. The full effect of regen only kicks in when you are below 50% health though and the healing decreases as you get closer to full. Thats when lifesteal can top you off as its healing is fairly constant.
actually, it doesnt scale with level. Nothing does except the amount you see gear having. Rather than a system such as Wow, where each time you level, the amount of a given stat becomes greater in order to have the same % effect, here, that is not the case.
A level 10 with 3k lifesteal with be doing exactly the same % of healing from their hits as a level 60. (btw that doesnt mean the heals they do won't be bigger.. because 10% of a larger number is STILL a larger number.. but its also still 10%)
That being said, there is currently a suspicion that lifesteal IS being counted in the total amount of damage done. I tested this myself, and can't yet confirm, but in a given instance I've tested it without lifesteal equipped, there was a total of 8-10M damage give or take (havent tested enough to get more exact numbers) that was done to all mobs as I soloed the entire thing. When i equipped roughly 2k lifesteal, suddenly the total amount of damage showing having been done jumped up to 12m. That fits roughly into the 14% lifesteal... so its plausible... Not sure how or why this would be happening other than it being an outright design flaw that will get fixed... We shall see. I'll give more info when things get more exact.
Oh and btw, if you DO ever stack lifesteal, it really isnt great. only at about the point you start hitting 12% and up do you start to get enough healing done to somewhat keep up with the damage you take.
Most stats do scale with level, except power.
Just thought I'd put that out there. Defensively, I'd rather go for regen/ls than anything else right now. My delfect is already in the mid 20's, and defense is a joke for my TR (I go from paper armor to cardboard armor :P).
But give it a go. If it's suits your style, great. Good luck
The Acolyte of Kelemvor puts a buff on you called Sword of Kelemvor. It gives you LS based off your LS score and her level/gear. I have her as well. You can get really high numbers....but, she does nothing else. She doesn't share stats and she has no attack skills. She just stands there...
She doesn't even make sandwiches
lifesteals really only useful to rogues/GWF IMO.
all the other classes hit too less to make it something to aim for.
Although CW AOE's could be a nice source of HP. But meh I'm sure there's other stats classes wanna go for.
Most Lifesteal I've had is 2k which was about 20% I think. I lacked Arp And power and crit so I was very low dps. I changed this and found my sweetspot to be 10% lifesteal. Which is easily obtainable with the right gear.
