Hey all 👋

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 🙏

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. 💯

Heyo

Thanks for checking it out Konrad. 🙂

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 😅 Also apologies for the distracting loading cat, I just recorded in obs and no one wants to see my 4am face 🤣

**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. 😭 I get a 202 from streamable.  
EDITED EDIT: Time heals all wounds and the video is here now. 🤣

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

> Regarding your original bug report: Did you consider lifesteal broken because it healed nearly nothing, or did it actually heal 0 in some situations?

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! 😃
