Life Gain on Hit vs. Life Leech
|
The best reason to invest in LGOH is that you've allocated Ghost Reaver but you haven't allocated Chaos Inoculation. Either that or you're busting ghosts.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

One good example of LGoH working really well I can think of is LA. With pierce/chain it is insane. But the single target problem remains. :V
Not sure if there is an easy cure for this. Simply buffing it would mean crazy fast attack builds would be mad OP. And I think its main problem lies in that: it only scales with one mechanic. If you buff it, any build using this one mechanic will be crazy good, and useless for everyone else. Life Leech of the other hand, can be used in various situations, meaning it fits many different options. Options for LGoH are: a) leave it as is, a niche option for some extreme builds, b) rework it into something else But in reality, what could they rework it into? Life Leech? :P Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. | |

I use this in talisman :
Double Strike + multistrike + CoC + Blade Vortex + LGOH Life gain is really satisfactory once you have a decent APS / crit chance. |

" Only your DS triggers LGoH. Crit does nothing with LGoH. ___________________ LGoH is only satisfactory as main life source when: 1. you have insane AoE and APS 2. Ghostreaver 3. not enough Life Regeneration and DPS ign: fanimala Last edited by fanimala#6598 on Jan 20, 2016, 4:31:23 PM

Just to throw another option out there, I'm using claws and molten strike (with damage enhancing gems), plus blasphemy and poachers mark. Other curses would scale better than poachers but I like the frenzy charges, and as long as the mobs are not curse immune, my life and mana never drop.
I'm subject to big crits of course, nothing new there, and if I do run into curse immune mobs (or worse, maps) I do tend to forget I have to use flasks, but otherwise it's been fun. |
