What's the problem with life leach in PvP?

Please explain me why it's not important anymore.

It's not important because it doesn't work in PvP.

well, it does work in PvP IIRC, only it got so nerfed due all kind of penalties it effects are close to none :cheesy:

the new way ll works is 1/10th of dam, after pvp penalty, and then there is ofc damage reduce, and difficulty(leech is capped 50% more in nm/hell) so its kinda pointless, tho i always got some ll on my barb, like arreats/draculs/weapon and such, but it wont change much. ur best bet on ll is draculs grasp´s life tap, tho its considered cheap and bm in legit dueling,

I had a lvl 9 viper strike wanted to see how much I would be healed off a person with it fully charged doing about 1000 phys damage.

I healed about 20 or so. In conclusion pvp leech blows

wow 1/10 it makes it useless
and why they did it?

Because it used to be too good.
Now its the other end of the continuum

It has to do with the changes in pvm. Blizzard doesn't care as much about pvp, because it's a pvm game in the first place. It sucks, I don't disagree with that, but that's why.

I guess you guys haven't seen how much Life Tap allows a high damage Zealot to leech. Usually the first one to trigger Life Tap wins because you can leech back 1/2 your life in a few hits.

Someone already pointed out that Lifetap from Dracul's was the way to go. I guess curses are effected differently?

i suppose that's why Iron Maiden still works against barbs.

Life tap isnt life leech dur dur dur..

[BadLikeMe]

doesn't it work in a similar way or have the same effect?

[Newest Newb]

except its not leach, its a curse

[LLD-Vampire]

it doesnt receive the same massivly lame restrictions as leech

[BadLikeMe]

And that about sums it up.

[D34D]

imo its better now, Life Leach shouldn't work at all in PvP :surprise:

[dkay]

exactly.. it always made me mad when my sorc would get a barb down to the last quarter of his life bar then he hits m eonce and gets it all back D:<

[DoC-Makaveli]

yeah but it also really helps to make casters even more overpowered than the patch already made them..

[.EYRIS.ONE.]

i duno if i like 1.10 leech or 1.09 leech better :scratch:

1.10 overpowers casters more
1.09 hated getting hit with one stray arrow and that ama would be full life -.-

peace.
