life leech warrior

Just looked at the gear I used. Damn, it was 30% Life Leech. Below is what I used:

Passives: 3% Leech
LVL 15 Life Leech Gem: 4% Leech
LVL 15 Warlord's Mark: 6% Leech

Carnage Heart: 10% Leech
2X Kaom's Sign: 4% Leech
Slitherpinch: 3% Leech

Total: 30% Life Leech

Oh you. And here I was thinking you had 30% life leech un-skilled.

The numbers you put up make more sense.

I have literally the same setup with a few exceptions. Like you, I have Carnage Heart (8%), 2 Kaom Sign's rings (4%), Slitherpinch gloves (3%), Wurm's Molt Leather Belt (1%), and (3%) from the two passives in the Marauder tree, giving me a flat total of 19% life leech. Then with a lvl 7 Warlord's Mark (4%), lvl 5 Life Leech Gem (1% atm), and my eventual 2hand mace with (1% life leech) mod, I can do up to 25% life leech.

Obviously these numbers are bound to change once I get my Warlord's Mark and Life Leech Gem up to snuff, but it's really hard to play catch up. And a 10% life leech Carnage Heart? Dammmn.

So far build survives on the fact that it utilizes endurance charges out the ying yang. However, as I'm sure you found out, I'm running into life, armor, and attack speed problems, and mainly the former 2. Hopefully my build will solve all of the three.

That's how far I've managed to go this weekend, any ideas? Obvious flaws? Had a fun with it although its my first try with the game. Probably gonna buy access to open beta soon.

Elemental dmg hurts bad! Shall Is it worth increasing?

Also, is it worth getting +10 life on killing skills? How much life total do you have at 50-60 lvl?

Maybe more endurance charges and skills that increase life per second with each charge (I'm using warlord's mark)

I thought of maybe going into iron reflexes, any comments why not?

Definitely more dmg/speed with 2handed weapons and more items giving life leech, right now I wasn't too lucky in the items department (are there recipes for life leach properties?). I think I've got 6% life leach, 9 life per kill, 4 life per hit and 10-12 or so life per second.

I'm doing around 150dps base, is that fine at 28lvl or do I need to concentrate more on it?

Thanks for any constructive critique! :)

EDIT:

I would probably aim for sth like that in the future! A hopefully I would have enough strength & accuracy.

I also considered taking spell 20% mana reduction, is it better for a leech/blood magic maruder than say.. 8% life increase?
