So picked up my 1st piece of Elven Armour with Seals and on looking at all the armours I have to say they are pretty crap. Not 1 piece of armour has the Life Steal stat... Its really hard to get this up to 10% which is where I want it.
Even the Alliance Gear that has Life Steal, once upgraded to Elemental Alliance Gear it somehow magically loses it.
Truly annoying  |

Truly annoying The stat distribution sucks in the Elven stuff. Also on the Stronghold Artys. Just pure garbage for a lot of classes. Will cause folks to have to do a lot of modifications to their enchantments I think. |

Mine is made of sticks. The stats may be fine... but sticks? Half the things i fight are on fire. Wooden armor. I look more foolish than normal. If the tree on my head had a nest, it might be ok ~ not that the scorpions would get along with the birds, all on fire in my wooden tree head.

Yeah, I have 3 pieces now. I hadn't taken a look at the Warlock set, just ran the fashion set...so...WOW. No helm, but that crap is gawd awful. It's like mud and grass.

I agree that different stat allocations would be good but I am looking for stats other than lifesteal.
It really just proves there is not enough variety.

So, got into a decent pug last night. Beat Spider. Seals did flow. Got my last piece of Elven Armour. Ick..mud and grass. Decided to dye it with some Magma Dye packs I had kicking around. The result.... ![]()  |

lol Also I just checked out all the Dragonflight armours in the Stronghold... Well I`ll be what a surprise, not one has Life-Steal so the trend goes on. They really don't want HR`s to have it |

Yeah all my life steal comes from Artefacts and Runes (the ones I do not have set for defence as that is very important). I really want some Armour with natural Life Steal but the best I could find was a Blue Alliance Helm with 520. Now the Marketplace is Level 2 we can buy the new armours from the Stronghold, unfortunately these are the same as the high level Dragon Flight stuff and do not have any Life Steal what so ever. I would have thought with all the available armours we would have a bit of variety, but its just not there for the HR all the armours are basically the same just different levels of the same stats All my personalized double slotted gear, including the 3 double slotted items on my Cat are all focused on the main stats, just some of the runes have life steal. |

Can I ask why you want lifesteal?
Only stats I look at for my HR or any DPS toon is crit, power, armor pen and recovery. Not necessarily in that order.

My theory is that part of the adjustments they will be making to the Warlock class...which is supposed to eventually occur after Mod 8 is going to change how lifesteal works, which is why almost no knew gear in Mods 7 & 8 have it. Of course...this could not be the case as well.  |

Because 10% for a HR is truly amazing with the speed of the attacks and as Dukes mentioned survivability. For instance try to solo Kessell's or Master of the Hunt without high-ish Life Steel
Just a note, all those stats you mentioned are offensive stats (when you look at rune slots)... Life Steel is a defensive stat which is why I would like more of it. I already have Arm Pen over 60%, Crit just over 40%, Recovery 4k, Power over 12k and that is all without Campfire or any buffs active

You might try stacking life steal on a companion heavy and using the rune that sends stats there is one that sends a percent and another that gives you companions gift which is about 30% of companions stats for a short period.

Solo Rydia? This is a MMO. :-) Ha ha yeah I have to test out survivability on something hard but without a group. All the time you run around in a group getting healed and partially invincible you really cannot test out much
Plus I like a challenge ha ha lol. Anyhoo 80% of the time when I am online I do not have time to sit and wait for an hour to get a group to get together to do something, I much prefer just to run everything myself and if something pops up in chat I can help with I`ll offer my services
To me Neverwinter is no longer an MMO until they give us back all our Dungeons and Skirmishes humph!

On my Cat I have the double slotted Abberent Recovery ring, neck and belt.... They all have a Rune in the defensive slot for Life-Steel and then I have a Rune to send over an extra 10% of its stats
Still not enough life-steel to get to 10%

What's survivability??? I run 134 recovery, would love to get my defense down another 1500-2000, replaced health pots with fireworks, and wouldn't equip a piece of gear with lifesteal if you paid me. I'm here to root and stab, not hang out with the monsters without dying, that's my Pally's job. I agree there should be a little more diversity in gear choices, but I appreciate that not every class can fill every stat. You have you crit, power, armor pen and recovery nice and high... Can't have everything with every character. |

Not to mention between fox's shift and nearly unlimited stamina regain, Hunter Rangers and nearly untouchable... I never understand why people think they are squishy... I only die due to human error, Varg can dance circles with a scorpion for days as long as I don't mess up my rotation.

I just want to choose if I dropped say Arm Pen on a Helm I might be able to get a Helm with Life-Steal in its place. Its just the variety I would like back, in the Armour pieces that we used to have, with all the sets of armour that were around.
I just re-specced my HR, I am very happy and impressed with my new build
I have dropped 10 points from the Archery Tree (I just did that for the 5% crit chance in ranged) and put them back into the Trapper Tree, the extra 5 go into combat now for the 5% increased Life-Steal chance. I have also changed my boons and picked Burning Guidance or something like that... Now when I use Oak Skin every couple of seconds it triggers it and in a group there are 4 chances of triggering it so its all the time
