Healing
Strategy
Life Steal is heavily dependant on your Attack Speed and a Weapon's cooldown. Weapons that attack quickly (such as SMG) will proc far more often than a slower weapon.
Vs. HP Regeneration
Compared to HP Regeneration:
- Life Steal can potentially offer much faster healing for less overall materials spent, compared to HP regeneration, by using weapons with fast cooldowns, Medical weapons, or a decent investment into Attack Speed.
- However, HP Regeneration is more reliable than Life Steal. It doesn't depend on your weapon speed, always procs, and it doesn't require you to hit anything. Especially melee users can get in trouble if they are put on low HP, and are forced to leave the melee range to flee. In this case, life steal stops healing you.
- Even with the diminishing returns of Life steal and hard limit of 10 HP per second, it is worth noting that it takes a lot HP regeneration to reach those numbers. So if you attack fast and can keep the Life Steal active throughout the fight, it is a powerful choice.
Secondary Healing Methods
Aside from the main methods of healing, there are several items that can allow you to heal by other means. Secondary Healing methods can be a nice addition to your other healing, and can be especially important for characters like Chunky, who can only make good use of Consumables otherwise, and Bull, who often is happy to take all the healing they can get.
Torture is Unique in that it replaces all your other forms of healing with a +4 per second. If you havn't invested in other forms of healing yet, torture can be a very powerful option.
