[2.2] Guide for Life based Crit Dagger Reave

Hi, im playing this build atm @ torment league and I cant figure out how does the Life/sec work? From the skill tree nod's we just take 2% life/sec regen. I dont know how we can even achieve 1k life /sec without binos as you mentioned in the first page.

Btw, what is the recommended % phys dmg to life leech ?


edit: thx for the reply!

50k pDPS * 0.02 life leech = 1k life leeched/second.

Which gems u're currently using in 1.3 patch? The same which are in the Gear section or other?
Can u write them down?

I use reave-FA-multistrike-MeleeDMG-MeleeDMGonFL-incAoE gem setup.

Thanks.

And the gems linked into the gear like gloves, boots..., are they correct ?

Boots : 2L : cwdt leveled + immortal leveled , 2l: FA + Whirling Blades


Question to the Author again, Why is my life regen like 60/s in DEFENCE ? Without Binos you said that its possible to get 1k/s.
Running 21k dps atm have 2% life regen nodes picked up and im reaching like 60 life/s regen, my life is 3k atm. I might be doing something wrong, would love the feedback !

I use Herald of Thunder instead of Tempest Shield (Boots), but without Acuity you migth have problems running two heralds anyway. I also exchanged Blood Rage for Smoke Mine (Dagger) since the chaos degen does not synergize with MeleeDMGonFL.

The 60 life/s shown in the Defense Tab is your life regen from the tree (Heart of the Oak etc). The life regen highlighted in my stats section only applies if you kill a monster with a critical strike while wearing Bino's.
You seem to confuse life regen with life leech. Life regen comes from the Skilltree (also Bino) and is shown in the Defense Tab, while life leech comes from your pDPS and leech% (mostly gear) and is only shown as leech%, since the actual leech value depends on the situation (critical hit, curse, etc).

ohhhh, finally :) thanks a lot for explaining !

After being away for months and months I came back to my skill tree reset, so I decided to go with life based rather than CI based again. Build is working out well so far, and I'm working on replacing my ES/Eva equipment with Armor/Eva now. Does anybody(or OP) have a video of this build being played at somewhat high-end? Seeing it in action would be much appreciated.
