Hello thieves, ive been using a life steal build mostly condi damage and its alot of fun =] thought id share it! do note its a casual build, its in no way suppose to be meta or anything its jst alot of fun to play. i main mesmer and when i want to fool around i jump on my thief.

So obviously the main point of this build is to steal the enemies health, this build kinda builds itself if you only think about life steal.

the healing is great, the weakness to this build is mass cc or condi builds. this build ahs very little condi remove and low hp so yea..

healing:
sigil of blood- 483 hp
sigil of leeching- 975 hp
heal sig- 115 hp
activated venom of choice- 385 hp
= 1,958 hp on one hit

full healing:
Previous healing- 1,958
Spider venom(-1 from previous, so 4 stacks)- 1,540 + 460 (healing sig)
Skale venom- 1,155 + 345(healing sig)
Basilisk venom- 770 + 230 (healing sig)
total hits-10 pistol shots
Steal- 2,160
=8,618 hp in total

This is without more sigil of blood procs or weapon swapping procs =]

Also a little combo i found to be good is:
-start in s/p, use #2, quickly swap,
-c&d, pop ult, ( ult gives bleed poison torment in aoe)
-use p/d #3, then fire awayyyy.

like i said its not a meta breaking build and i use it for funnn =]

have fun!

edit: had wrong build up fixed it tho

I’m scared to run with less than 15k health. I did make a life steal build using s/d though, pretty fun to sit on a point and annoy people.

Needless to say I don’t kill anyone. At least I shouldn’t. O.o

Screw the meta OP, break the chains!

The reason i use rabid and not carrions is because healing is better with toughness because you get more ehp and my build melts people really quick even with pistol whip i mwlt you can even attach a venom to the pistol whip for more healing. Its great ive done a bunch of 2v1s n stuff jst dont pop all the venoms at once and dont use mug until you need to heal up.
