Life / Mana Steal Q.

[Dennis_KoreanGuy]

Hello. I have a BvC Barb dual weidling EBotDZ + BeastZ, and I have 17% Life Steal on that guy so far. With 5% Mana Steal also, he's great in PvM but I realized that in PvP this is highly uneffective except maybe on wolves on Windy... -.-

I currently have 4% LL Arreat's + 8% Dracul. Should I switch 'em to 6% + 10% perf? Would that change a lot of things?

Leech is almost worthless in pvp, unless you're fighting minions as you pointed out. Even if you had max leech (50%), you'd still only have a restore rate of about 1% against players.

The only ways to really keep mana up in pvp are either with a ton of mana gear, pots, or damage to mana items. As for life, life tap is about it, but that's generally considered BM (of course, that won't trigger with whirlwind anyways).

Gone are the golden days of 1.09,when high str-high leech barbs pioneered by Darius, walked the realms.1.10 has made leech useless in pvp.
