Short Questions Thread

Currently playing a summoner barb and I am curious about any "after kill' / "on kill" proc. Whether it is reanimates,life,mana etc etc.
Those will only trigger if my barb does the kill ? I've noticed that wearing any item with chance to reanimate does not seem to work at all. Once i gave the item to my merc it actually did work.
So my question is..what works with the spirits ? Or what other source of reanimates could i use ?
Thanks folks

How big is the max amount of +%ED on superior weapons/armor(without the lucky modifier). Im asking because i want to make a few runewords and i have no idea how big the max ED so I dont know how long to reroll the items

I have never played diablo 2 or median online. What am I missing.

Is it me or that Bow Druid is different from other Range Class in Life Leech term?
When I try Java/Bowzon I can have the life after kill and life steal, but not for bow druid (cascade don't proc 3 kind of life leech, when sporeshot just the life steal)

35%, I think.

Nothing.

Seriously, though, it just depends on if you like playing with other people. TSW is much more sociable, you can trade easily, and there are Realm-only items. The last few ladder seasons had themes that were hella fun. I hope that sort of thing continues.

I don't think Druid bow skills have any sort of damage conversion, so they should trigger Life Leech (just remember, there are penalties that reduce LL effectiveness in Terror and Destruction). Anything AFAIK will trigger Life after each Kill, as long as you're the one who gets the kill. Bow skills won't trigger Life on Attack because it requires a melee hit, but they will trigger Life on Striking as long as they do at least some Physical damage.

So in conclusion:
- Life stolen only proc when using attack with phys atk
- "Life on striking" will affect both ranged and melee skill attack, "life on attack" only melee
- Life after each skill proc in any case, as long as I'm the one who cause that kill

Am I understand right?
And what do u mean "AFAIK", I dont get it.
Also when using bow I only can MO life steal and life after skill from vendors, right?

Yes, you understand correctly.

"AFAIK" is just short for "as far as I know." Sorry about that.

And yes, only life leech and/or life after each kill orbs will work for bow skills.

How are xbow necro/bow druid vs the more popular totem/summoner or poison/traprat? Any auto aim skills like barrage or quillstorm?

Thank you, really appreciate your help

This is a skill descreption for cascade skill.
Does it proc life steal?

Cascade does indeed use Life Leech. It does xx% weapon damage as physical. Since there is no 100% conversion to an element or magic, it is pure physical weapon damage, which does carry life leech. (Weapon Damage skills that do partial conversions will carry partial life leech, as well.) Note, however, the additional magic damage does not carry it. Also, Life on striking carries with ANY [ranged] attack based off of weapon damage, physical, magic, or elemental.

Life Leech is heavily reduced in Terror and Destruction. So don't expect it to fill your life-globe up instantly, but yeah, any amount you can get without sacrificing too much damage and/or defense is much welcome.
