Per the wiki:

Life stealing is one of the few ways a necromancer can heal in Death Shroud.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Life_stealing

However I tested it tonight with:

  • Sigil of Blood
  • Sigil of Leeching
  • Life Stealing food

And none of them seem to change HP while in shroud. Is this a bug or an error with the wiki?

The wiki is maintained by the players. There is some stuff outdated or merely wrong. If you see something wrong and test it, make the change.

tested ingame,
lifesteal from sigils and food, no effect
lifesteal from blood magic, health was gained.

The thing with it is that I don’t know if it’s outdated, wrong, or a bug. All 3 would have the same final effect and look exactly the same while testing. I hesitate to update something and it be a bug that later gets fixed, which is why I was looking for clarity.

It may have worked at one point (since it works with blood magic) and as a result of an update was broken, which would then make it a bug.

I updated wiki. I think they changed it back when they added vampiric presence and revamped blood magic in general.

Well that sucks, I had some really cool build ideas based around the concept.

Thanks for the help.
