Lifestealing Bug

[choweyiii]

I got lifestealing on one of my alts today and I noticed that it was proccing a whole lot more than it should be, and I noticed it seems to have a 80%+ proc chance on Warrior's Rend (with the possibility of multiple procs per Rend). Lifesteal does 42 damage, and then heals you for 42 making you unstoppable at lower levels! I killed a few things for about 2-3 minutes and the recount for that is below.



If you can't see the recount, it says:

Rend: Hits - 80
Lifesteal: Hits -80

Damaging attacks:
Melee  - 39.5%
Rend (DoT) - 30.6%
Lifesteal - 28.3%

Pretty sure this is not working correctly, and might have something to do with the way they re-did Rend, making it do instant damage and still be considered as a Damage Over Time.

Have fun. :]

Could you try this out on other weapon enchants? like crusader? XD

[choweyiii]

Doesn't seem to be working for Berserking, I'll try crusader later.

Not extremely useful for end-game, but nonetheless, good find.

I'm sure the 19 Twinks will appreciate this.

You're also meleeing as well. The initial 'hit' of rend requires a melee weapon too.
I'll believe you when I see you doing as little melee as humanly possible (see macro)

/cast Rend
/stopattack

If you have rage problems, just wait until you have enough rage. Your talent spec gives you rage every 3 seconds plus being hit gives rage.

If you can manage a recount with no melee hits (only rend and lifesteal) and you have less than 6 times the number of rend ticks compared to lifesteal hits, then i'll probably believe you can monkey around myself.

65 melee hits 80 life steal hits.

Stop being a douche and test it yourself if you don't believe him. At worst 65+15 rend hits is still 80 hits making it 100% chance on melee hit to proc.

maybe fun with a high lvl char aswell in prot spec with "Blood and Thunder" talent. Should heal nicely if you grind some instances,boost somone or just AoE grinding, Its not a bad life steal in anyway if this works.

this still working?
