Yeh I'm definitely keeping an eye out for life steal stuff for my Barb at the moment. The 20% life steal I get whilst using Ignore Pain is amazing, life goes from empty to 45k nice and quickly. When WotB it goes up in about 1-2 hits
Other than weapons what else can you get life steal on?
Barbs can get it on Mighty Belts but everyone else is limited only to weapons. Not sure if any Legendaries/Sets have it.
Life Steal is a nice bonus. I've not really looked for it since the extra filters were added but I didn't see any on the weapons I looked at do you might really have to pay a premium to get that AND all the other stuff you want because the selection is so limited.
I think it was worked out that you needed to be hitting for 100k+ for Life Steal to outheal even average amounts of Life on Hit. When my Barb uses Ignore Pain and hits enemies with Frenzy I get around 1500hp for a normal hit and 7000hp for a crit (so a single Revenge hitting a few enemies for crits will instantly heal me back to full).
