How much life leech?

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

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
