A3 Inferno Barbs: Skorn with Life Steal or not?

[mephuser1000]

Skorn with Life Steal usually has crappier DPS, max end dmg can't exceed 1.5K and str can't exceed 320.

Skorn w/o Life Steal has better DPS and str can reach 400+.

So Skorn with Life Steal or not?

skorn - dps, belt- lifesteal

Never understood the thing with 2h Barbs. It's just slow and clumsy.

But if I were you I would have gone with the lifesteal one as a Whirlwind Barbarian. You'll need the health.

Or as the guy over me mentioned, belt dps.

Isn't lifesteal 80% less effective in Inferno?

The person that mentioned Whirlwind with Skorn using only Lifesteal was even funnier.

Yes thats why you need alot of ls and damage. With 100k dps and 9% ls its still alot after 80% nerf.

 

[sparks]

on several forms they state that only when dps gets over 100k does leach beat loh. Then they had charts showing comparisons by amount of each.

for example 1% ll is not going to beat 900 loh no matter what you do.
so you can't just blanket the statement when is one better.
