Mana/life Steal?

Is anyone else's Mana/Life Steal not working? I've tried /armor, I've tried changing servers, and I've tried taking off the things that give me Mana/Life Steal nd re-equipping them. This is a problem because my assassin has negative regen and relies on life steal to keep him from bleeding out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

It should be working just fine, but life/mana steal mechanics were recently changed. It only works for melee damage now. When you strike a mob you have a random chance to get health/mana back instantly, and the chance decreases with higher attack speed tiers so you usually get x/2s health/mana back on average.

 

I thought it was just a bug. :/

 

It's nerfed a lot more than before. Just buy more potions or ask a Mage to help you.

 

Rip my assassin build.

 

Do normal archer shots count as melee? Because my archer IS mana/life stealing, except its really rare. Rare, as in 1 in 50 or so times i swing. I wish they would just keep it the way it was ;-;

 

ikr I can't do anything anymore .-.

 

An important thing to remember, lifesteal and manasteal only work on regular attacks now. Spells no longer grant any lifesteal of manasteal. And even if you only fight with regular attacks lifesteal and manasteal are pretty worthless now. It was over powered before when it activated every time poison damage activated, but this nerf took it in the complete opposite direction. I had roughly 200 lifesteal on my knight and when fighting with just regular attacks you wouldn't even know that I had any lifesteal. If your build relied on lifesteal and manasteal before, you'll probably want to rework your gear/stats and go for something different now.
