Storm Armor lifesteal [Wizard]

[Catouw]

Credits go to a thread on News - Diablo Discussion and Community Forums - DiabloFans.com
(I didn't find the thread to link it here )

If You have a 2H weapon with 6% lifesteal, equip it, cast storm armor and equip back your old weapon, you will have the full duration of storm armor as if you have a 6% lifesteal weapon.
As a CM/WW with the shocking aspect rune, you can get a lot of healing.
Also with the PvP patch incoming, storm armor with the thunderstorm or scramble runes are a good choice.


PS: The 6% lifesteal affect ONLY the damage from storm armor.

Does this work on the PTR or just live?

[enigma1989]

the only question is, if the damage of the storm armor also depends on the 2-handed weapon with 6% life steal
or on the i.e. Chantodos will + Chantodos Force...

but if it depends on the damge of the 2-handed weapon a high dps skorn could be very useful

(reminds of of switching weapons for CTA in diablo 2 or to cast buffs )

this does NOT work on live -_-

[akujiwar]

works on live no doubt about it. did some testing on ghom mp10.. found i could increase storm armor shocking aspect dmg by 100% by swapping some gear (skorn, high int crit damage and + dmg gear). lifesteal also works.

the question is, does it work on ptr? (patch 1.0.7) seems im unable to play on ptr(eu) for some reason..

anyhow..cba with the gear swap.
