Make Life-Steal Great Again !

[merry cloak]

Okay so there are 2 mechanics that are kinda outdated to my eyes on the game. These are health bonus and life steal, both bring respectively an offensive and a defensive modifier that are overshadowed by everything else.

Firstly I think bonus health should be easier to balance,

for instance, we could increase the bonus factor like on a rune for example : instead of giving +3% health it would give +6% just like block or at least +4.5% to make it a little more useful !

Now let's talk about life-steal, to my eyes life-steal can become one of the best modifier if we change just something...

We can make life steal useful if we make it trigger with pets/brains just like empower and I honestly think that it would actually make it more balanced than overpowered.
Life-steal would become good mostly for bait as it would allow baits to heal from a dps pet, and I know reading it might feel like it would make some pet like asti useless but this is far from reality :
The best way to build life-steal is by using runes and enchants but It would need us to sacrifice other modifiers to build it instead which is a first nerf.
Then lot of sets already provide healing and dps at the same time when hit which is a second nerf.
And finally even by building 15% life-steal we would still get only a small portion of the dps our pet would make so in the end it seems like even if it proc with pets it would still need a buff lol.

Here were my recommendations concerning these modifiers to make the game a little more fun and open to new perspectives in build-making and maybe even open to new ideas for pieces of set/mythics as I know that the game is already crowded with a bunch of modifiers and sets and that it might be hard to create new set that wouldn't break the game.

Just use vamp bro it’s the “same” thing

[merry cloak]

there aren't any runes/encahnts with it :c

also I mainly wrote that because I am a t9 camper lol

no vamp here

[potent flower]

Don't need Vamp boosted any further.
Lifesteal suggestions are many, and it could use a face lift.

[merry cloak]

yea I agree this modifier completely overshadow lifesteal lol

poor lifesteal :c

[potent flower]

I mean vamp is a different category and not labeled as lifesteal for sake of skills/bonuses assigning lifesteal.

Lifesteal needs a boost, that's the point of this subthread OP.

[merry cloak]

ye

Ik

anyway I hope my yapping will come to the eyes of the devs

just kidding - but it is 1 of many thousand suggestions. Good to use your voice!!!

Make life steal a true additional dmg like say you have life steal 50%, when you hit you’ll do 50% of normal dmg to enemy and another 50% of true additional dmg to them while healing for 100% of the true dmg dealt

Of course that additional dmg can’t proc pet

[merry cloak]

it can be good ye

maybe dealing true damage is a little op nevertheless

[vocal sail]

It is op if all atk is true dmg but with my version you’ll always deal normal dmg before the true one kick in giving other some time to defend them self

[merry cloak]

bruuuhhh

oh wait

you mean it as a stack orr

[vocal sail]

Nope pure breed true dmg but it is accompanied by normal atk first

[merry cloak]

ye that's what I understood from it

[vocal sail]

it just split your atk into 2 stage 1 is normal other is the true

[merry cloak]

ye I got it

funny asf lol

[novel totem]

yeah let me wear vampire knives already

[vocal sail]

Tbh I think my version is going to be just as useless as current one with maybe just a tad bit better

[merry cloak]

it would only be good for the true damage

but ye if lifesteal only affect dps gameplay then it will always be pointless

I keep my idea

I just want to smite oralg t9 solo

[vocal sail]

I mean if you manage to get to endgame you could do firium with exo ring

[merry cloak]

yea I know about it

if only I had the ring lol

I just enjoy the game where I am

maybe I will grind the game with an other account

[vocal skiff]

what about.... shield steal

[potent flower]

you mean Oxidize

[frosty nymph]

I'd say Nerf the lifesteal% and make it effect vampirism

[potent flower]

Some of y’all just shitpost to shitpost. SMH my head.

[frosty nymph]

We love u Gylgy

[potent flower]

You would implement oxidize shield removal & instead of damage you would transfer enemy shielding to you.

[merry cloak]

nah what are these ideas guys

[vocal sail]

its yapping hero time

[vocal skiff]

Make Gems steal runes so we can steal oponents

[frosty nymph]

Let us hire builders and let them remove obstacles for gems

[potent flower]

Y’all derail threads more than train robbers in the 1800s….

[vocal skiff]

we need daily shitpost or we die

[potent flower]

Use general chat or meme channel. Shitposting in game idea subthreads isn’t the play.

i find it cool that health bonus has one of the silliest and smartest use and most ppl dont even notice

venturer 2/4 gives +7,5% team health for you to be able to both shield and heal team even if you are the 1st turn in battle (otherwise everyone would be full hp and you would just shield literally making you lose the ability to freeze furthest when you heal from skills)

[narrow pivot]

wait youre so right thats genius

[merry cloak]

Very specific way of using bonus health also it's endgame

More health bonus would still be great

[frosty nymph]

Make life great again

[merry cloak]

Real

[vocal skiff]

change life steal runes to team life steal

[vocal sail]

Change life steal to true dmg

[vocal skiff]

what about 3% chance to deal true dmg

[vocal sail]

no it just deal additional 50% dmg as true dmg
