Hey guys, before I start I want to say thanks for the great community, I've learned alot since I started coming here last week.
I was getting completely brick walled at the start of act 2, still am but getting better every night. starting to get some money from butcher runs and I had some ideas about gearing that I wanted some questions answered on before I started dropping gold.
First up is Life on Hit.
If I dual wield two gemmed weapons, does the OH count in and I get 600+ LoH?
What constitutes a hit? Do Frenzy Sidearm axes proc LoH? Does each enemy Revenge or Seismic Slam proc a LoH heal?
Most importantly... Does Thorns damage activate LoH healing?
For Thorns....
Can Thorns crit? what types of attacks activate Thorns? basic melee/ranged hits from skeles? ranged spells from snake dudes/lacuni huntress? molten/plague on the ground?
The reason I'm asking about Thorns is mostly a gimmick pvp build I have been thinking about, basically just being a super annoying harasser that you can't hit for all the thorns damage.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look at my topic!
Not sure about most of your questions, but I can guarantee you that for dual wielding, if each weapon has 300 LoH (for example), you will get 300 life per swing of each weapon - not 600. You will attack faster because you have two weapons, therefore getting more Life per Second from hitting, but they don't add up per swing of one weapon. I would recommend a fast one-hander with LoH and a shield, because that way you can both save money from buying another expensive LoH weapon and you can have more defense/actually block.
Well i found a cheapo LoH weapon to test dual wield with and it did add to my LoH totals. I have 628 LoH on my main weapon and 193 on the offhand, my stat sheet says I have 821 LoH and with frenzy going I see 1.1k heals popping due to the fast attack speed and heals only showing every 0.5 seconds.
Unfortunately it appears that many damaging hits that are "extras" form attacks do not proc LoH. As far as I can tell, aoe hits like hammer and seismic slam only give you one LoH heal, and other full on AOE skills like rend or whirlwind do not activate LoH at all.
I have not been able to test thorns yet, I will reply again when i have ~3k thorns and see what happens when various hell mobs hit me.
