Edit: Low Lifesteal values in PvP

Hey all :waving_hand:

As mentioned in the topic lifesteal does not seem to work in PvP. I’ve only tested this with a single weapon, and have not checked the others out yet.

How to reproduce:

  • Corpse Smeared Blade - 12% Lifesteal infusion
  • Rings - Battlecry/ Rune/ Serendipity

The old Battlecry Ring before it changed a 2nd time it read like this:

Spend Health instead of Focus

(Downside) Cannot Lifesteal

I dont think it has anything to do with it but i leave the info here anyways in case you do some more testing ^^

Things to try:

Test with another weapon infused with lifesteal

Test without serendipity and battlecry ring

(Reminder to turn on “Show Stat numbers” )

Thanks Askan :folded_hands:

I will test out what you’ve mentioned and post some more info here.

Though the previous iteration of the battlecry ring mentions “Cannot Lifesteal”. I can confirm that the current iteration works with Lifesteal in PvE. :100:

Heyo

Thanks for checking it out Konrad. :slightly_smiling_face:

I managed to get some testing in. You are correct, lifesteal is working. However, I don’t think it’s as expected since the numbers are off, unless my brain is not math-ing :sweat_smile: Also apologies for the distracting loading cat, I just recorded in obs and no one wants to see my 4am face :rofl:

Observations:

  • With or without the battlecry ring life steal works.
  • A weapon without lifesteal does not regenerate any health.
  • 12% Lifesteal on a 63 dmg hit only returns 1hp or 2hp. I think it should return at least 7.56hp back per hit. This is without considering the net healing increase of 10%. -20% from Battlecry and +30% from Serendipity.
  • Sacrificing health with lifesteal does not seem viable atm in PvP.

EDIT: I have no idea how you got the video directly into the post. :sob: I get a 202 from streamable.
EDITED EDIT: Time heals all wounds and the video is here now. :rofl:

Ahhh - I was missing the coefficient then. Thanks, that makes a lot more sense.

I think the heal was negligible that I missed it or mistook it for coming from somewhere else. Apologies for that.
Took me a while to land a hit on the other player and when I did it, it still chunked half my HP bar.

I’ll move the post out of Wicked Bug Reporting and into Wicked Feedback.

Thanks again! :smiley:
