Leech is mandatory. No other form of regen can rival it.

Life gain on hit says hi.
(Also, Aegis Aurora says "lol, leech? What is that?")

Didn´t the op said no LoH? Hm whatever, life reg mods on gear sucks.

Builds that don't need lifeleech:

Summoner
Dual Totem
Traps
Anything with Max Block, Aegis Aurora and CI+GR
Poison Arrow + Ranged Attack Totem + Ancestral Bond
Actually, when you think about it, any Arrow build with Ranged Attack Totem and Ancestral Bond

every build that can easyly go around reflect

i don't really know why people say that trappers dont need life leech. it's not that they don't need it but that they can't get it.

there are so many occasions where i wished i had some reliable form of life recovery with my trapper and thats the reason why i don't continue playing him. all the high level bosses require to have a steady flow of life coming. if you don't have it you can hug a rejuvenation totem for a minute or something like that.

having played with and without leech i'm inclined to say that leech in fact IS mandatory. you straight up gimp yourself by not having it.

ES and Aegis Aurora are alternatives for fast regen that work though

Before lvl ~80 and before taking ZO my burning arrow aof build had no mana/life/lech etc.
I took ZO later for ES regen and put lgOH to counter chaos damage issues. But I do not think it would have been absolutely necessary.

So yes, I am sure regen only works (of course non regen maps should be avoided)

summoner, dual totem, traps

Actually my summons have life leech.

Kind of cracks me up when people say "Life Leech isn't mandatory, just buy this 10 exalted unique item!"

Like... Do you actually want to balance the game around that sort of thing as the baseline expectation?

It is super powerful especially for attackers who get it on gear and a little in passives.

(Aegis builds use life leech lol)

Yea, and when they try to overcome it with totems/summons then they are cheesy builds lol.
