Everybody knows the amount is super low, but if you were to change/balance the number for this, what would you have it be?

How is the number low? Are you saying it is low compared to your Health total or low compared to the amount of damage done to you?

Maybe the same amount as a regen tic, or half the amount of a regen tic?

I’m sure there would need to be balance testing done, because almost any necro is going to give higher numbers than we should get :P

Broken lifesteal damage is a known necro issue. There’s a stickied thread with a list of everything that doesn’t work as intended

Low compared to total health (although damage too, as it does barely anything). Lets assume somebody has 18,000 health. Vampiric hits for 25, that’s 0.13888% of it.

I now feel very lucky that I have not as yet dived into the abyss of unsatisfactory lifesteal necro builds.

+-25 thats still a horrible hp steal per hit.
If i were going to balance it out, i would think it would need to be drastically upped to about 2% per hit. Give or take whatever the average hp total is for necros across the board.

I got 15 in lifesteal line. Its amazing with well spec in WvW because you get 25 per person per well, and 250 on crits. It is not terribly uncommon for me to regen 750-1000 hps a second during seiges.
