Life Stealing

[Auran82]

Made a couple of these for my rogue.



Tested on rats out in the vale, proc rate on the life stealing seemed to be about the same as Dreamspitter is now, every 3 or 4 crits.

For reference, I was able to make the required shards at level 9 arcane and level 33 divine, using the +15% boosters. If I had actually bothered to level arcane I would have made better than +2 enhancement on the item.

Thanks for posting! I've been waiting for a SS of an actual crafted weapon. Looks pretty neat. You mentioned that you used a booster - I understand that things on Lamma are subject to change but how long would you say it took to you to reach the crafting levels necessary to make this weapon?

[Matuse]

That's...insanely powerful.

Almost makes me wonder if this exact weapon is why they changed auto-crit.

[dragonofsteel2]

It neat but not insanly poweriful p. Sorry 3 out 4 crits means even with improve crit this goes off at must 10%, 2 out 20 hits. From my xp must things are dead in less then 4 to 5 hits anyway, unless doing elite.. It has it uses, but not insanly poweriful. Dps in this game is what is insanly poweriful.

Hmm auto crits does not matter what your crit range is buddy . You could use anything. neat fun weapon but not really overpowered when thing about it .

[Xenus_Paradox]

If, as Eladrin suggested it might, Lifestealing gets reverted to every crit instead of a chance on crit...

In content under elite... try epics. These things will be great in epics IMO.

Life stealing as only available on staffs until this came along. They have a 5% crit range.

Vorpal of lifestealing 4tw, lol

[voodoogroves]

As much as I love Life Stealing (and I do) I hope to randomly craft it is very difficult and has a decently high ML and cost.

[dragonofsteel2]

Yeah epic my sos kills them pretty quick to p... yeah back when every hit was a crit with mass hold.. why was not every fighter using neg. level sticks again?????

Yeah half the hitpoint trash will be hard.. the also gain one level back like every 10secs.. I forget what it is right off the bat. Don't know if the new epics change that. Pretty sure must the trash will not last long. Second the neg lvl stick before was 95% crit on held mobs.. New update that not try anymore p . What was 90% of the stragies on epics again?

Like a said it's a neat weapon, but by no means overpowering.. I might agree that should be higher level of crafting, but by no means do I think this the new weapon of greatness for endgame.

I'm not on Lam...Haven't been able to get the time to go on lately...So I'm wondering what sort of decon mats you use to create vampirism and lifestealing type weapons. Looking for what types of prefix/suffix items you would need to deconstruct to get the mats. Chaotic items? Negative items like Void Lore?

Something like that actually. Items have elements they fit into. Chaotic, Negative level drain, vampirism, etc, fit into the arcane school of crafting. Deconning items with those prefixes or suffixes will give evil aligned components all evil aligned things use.

eSoS is completely broken.

Because woowooing held mobs wasn't the fastest way to kill them.

I thought they died in less than 10s.

I know that. Which is why it's good that we can craft this effect on weapons with a high crit range.

It's not as powerful as an eSoS, of course, but it's still an interesting and useful way of killing mobs (who knows, help out an arcane with a Cursespewing of Lifestealing rapier?)

Actually one of the DEVS already officially stated since auto-crit on helpless was being removed that lifestealing was being put back to proc on every crit......for U9


either it has not been put in Llama yet or they changed their minds about that.

[sirgog]

Min level 11, I noticed.

+6 equivalent weapons are usually ML 10.

Maybe we won't be making +4 Holy Burst Silver GLOB's after all, and will be stuck with humble +3 ones.

I think that even if they haven't changed their minds yet...that they -will- change their minds once people start churning out rapiers, scimitars, and kukris like the one above, and monsters go to level 0 in about a quarter second.

No they did not.

They stated the dreamspitter specificly would be changed back.

And it has. It's description now reads "on critical hits" rather then "chance" like the craftable life stealing.

They're different effects.

Tho this is turbine were talking about, so I went and tested the new updated dreamspitter:
It does not proc on every crit.

That will make these types of weapons little more fun.. I was just going off what the guy said he tested at.. I had no reason not to believe him since I have not tested it myself yet and did not read up about it.. 6 out 20 swings or 7 out 20 for fighters makes a very useiful tool for duel wielders.

I did not have to use a epic sos to kill them faster then a wooowooo stick p.. if you did that on you. My duel wielders with just min 2 or lit 2 would kill them faster then a wooowooo stick. That with full hp not half as now, epics or not that hard you dont need epic SOS to beat them .

Like I siad its a neat weapon and just got little better if they change it back to every crit. Just not as great as the one guy made it out to be the greatest weapon every. That all I said in the begining.

By the way soloing with my caster yes I kind learned that neg. levels come back pretty fast on epics using a wooowwooo stick p. Not in full groups

I never said eSoS was the only way to kill trash faster than level draining.
