Ye cool man, Wizard is loads of fun up to Inferno atm imo

Enjoy it!

Just on a side note...

% of dmg as life in D3 is very very bad. It suffers from heavy reductions.

30% in nightmare
60% in hell
80% in inferno

That is also why life on hit on items is far better.

Ie, say you get an endgame item with +850 life on it vs an item with 3% lifesteal (3% is the highest it goes).
Using Frenzy, life on hit you get 80% of that (each spell have different mods), so that's what? 680? life you get per hit
But on the other hand, since the 3% lifesteal suffers 80% reduction in inferno, you will have to do something like a 113k hits to get the same about of life back

and those kind of hits is not going to happen

tbh people can hate the AH but its probably one of the best ways to get level gear for chars especially if you struggling. Dont fool yourself and think that you will always get item drops that suit the level char you currently playing.

I got a 240 dps bow and it definitely improved my survivability in hell. Though it didnt help me much in killing that invulnerable mob which champion was the only one i had to kill ... lots and lots of kiting was needed there

Swakste drop into my game tonight and have a look

so what you are saying life steal % is bad and life per hit lot better? so whats the point of life steal then.
