5% life steal pointles

from Demigod Forums

Who has ever bought the life steal rings? 5% LS is so pointless and a waste of a item slot that could be used to give you 1k health instead which is a LOT more helpful. Basically I would like to at least consider buying a life steal item in DG. The only item that offers half decent LS costs about 12000 from the artifact shop and that gives 15% LS and 100 damage but you have to be in a very long game to buy a 12000 item.

Ls isn't imba, it is in dota but only because you can mix ls with items that stupidly increase your attack speed. If ls items must stay at 5% then other bonuses must be added to the item so its worth taking up an item slot.

Also since i'm on the topic of % items, I think 1% chance items are just plain stupid. Increase the percentage but decrease the effect.

I think its a pretty fair trade off.   1% might be a bit low, but I don't thinkt he life steal is nice enough that in a busy game, it can be about as good as the life bonus items.   Whats more, you don't have to waste time not-dealing damage to enemies.   Maybe its not very good for general characters, but some of the heavy hitting assassins really profit from even a little life steal.

exactly, 5% ls can go a long way.
