+(90-120)% Enhanced Defense
(7-10)% Life stolen per hit
25% Chance of Open Wounds
5% Chance to cast level 10 Life Tap on striking
+(5-10) Life After Each Kill
+(10-15) to Strength

what is Life Tap, and with the life after each kill, does that mean you get +10 life every time you kill something?!?!?

Also I have charges of Weaken and Telekinisie (not sure exactly of translations sorry), what do they do?

Yes, it means you get +10 life after each kill, the same as a lot of items have a "+to mana after each kill" mod

Life tap is a necro skill;

Effect: Attacking a cursed soul gives you health.
When Cursed are damaged, the attacker gets healed 50% of attack damage.

Weaken is a necro skill as well;

Effect: Decreases the damage the target can do.

Telekineses is a sorc spell;

Effect: Allows you to pick up items, trigger objects, and attack others at a distance.

Life tap is also called the never die curse for zealots because when the monsters are affected by life tap, the zealot can take back so much life that its almost impossible to die.

telekineses no longer lets you pick up items

you can trigger objects, attack others (with knockback), and pick up gold (maybe gems as well) but not weapons/ armor/ etc.

True about the items, forgot to delete that ;)

You can still pick up scrolls, keys, and potions with TK.

And the nice thing is, with Life Tap you can even leech from Skeletons and other monsters you couldn't leech normally. My Werewolf really depends on that item. :) It has helped save his life and that of his merc countless times. All characters who do a lot of attacks should use these gloves.

Wow, with life tap that would mean after a while you'd have so much life you'd be practically invincible! ........ right? Or do they mean +10 permanent life or ... why don't they just say life leech then?

What is really the point of telekiniesis? When would you need to activate items from a distance? Being a bowazon I can attack anyone I can see on the screen anyway, and if they're not on the screen you wouldn't be able to use telekiniesis, right? But then again ... it would mean I could attack monsters with an obstacle between me and them, and get still be able to get good items from bosses in group games, since I have to stay back to fight and usually get crap stuff other people leave by the time I get up to where it died. But, you say it can't be used to get items. Why??? It makes it practically pointless !!! lol oh well.

Life Tap sounds like a good spell for dungeons like the sewers where there are only undead monsters, for a character that relies heavily on leeching to survive. Is there a tap that leeches mana too? :)

+10 life per kill isnt equivelant to life leach

For example: you have +10 LPK and 10% LL, and you're hurt sufficiently.

you kill a fallen with 4 hp in normal. Youll get 10.4 life (10 for the kill and 4*.1 for LL)

now say you go kill a balrog with 500 hp. youd end up getting 60 life (10 for the kill and 500*.1 for LL)

IMO significant LL would be better, unless you had incredible LPK numbers.

Yup Telekinesis is pretty much pointless....i think that the only practical use for it is to use a tp with it to get it where you want (not even sure if that works because i never use the skill and im an avid sorc player). They nerfed TK way back when (i think 1.08) becuase people were using it to get items from the deserved killer of the monster or opener of a chest.

Hope this helps!
