How much life leech?

Hi,

I was wondering how much life leech is needed to be effective?

I hadn't bothered too much with it so far, as my throwbarbs had quite high
defense and I squeezed in some life leech < 10% somewhere. A summoner
doesn't get hit and my Enchantress also never bothered much with it.

But my ranger pally (SP level 75) could really use a good life leech base.
Are there any limitations when attacking with a bow? How about physical
versus elemental/magic damage?

At the moment, he has about 12-13%LL, but it doesn't seem to help much.
Most of his bow damage is cold/lightning with 31-137 physical damage (on
the bow, w/o multipliers).

I guess I could get about 20%LL, would that be enough for ranged attacks?
How about hell diff, are there more limits to life leech?

Thanks,

Oliver

You can only leech from physical damage, and leeching is only 25% in
hell (50% in nm).

I don't think there are any ranged penalties (as there are, e.g., with
crushing blow).

There is no set amount that is "enough". It comes down to your play style
and how much physical damage you do. Big damage and cautious play can get
by with less than the converse.
