Easy, noob-friendly lifesteal/sustain build for endgmae

[Silver]

Hi everyone, I am looking for a build that is based around life leech or damage converted to life or any kind of sustain. Preferably something simplistic, without too much reliance on specific end-game items you have to farm. It could be anything - melee or mage or ranged.

Currently Im thinking of Spellbreaker (Warfare/Spirit), but it seems like ther is not much in the way of sustain there.

spellbreaker is def ideal...grab 2x of harrowing weapons that does % to max hp which you will life steal doesnt work on everything but when it does you'll steal so much life and wreck the non immunes so fast...and warfare has enough phys damage to make up when enemy is immune to damage based on max mp (aka vit)...

if your gear is really bad then you can go 1 handed and shield spellbreaker, that def wont kill as fast as dual wield but its there the game gets too hard so you can get away with really bad gear esp if you are just hitting enemies based on their max hp and then having the warfare high phys damage kill the things immune..and temp going sword and board for awhile while you farm for better gear is usually enough to grind for your better gear and once you do get that you can easily use a mystic to add maxed dual wield tree back...

and you get the best pet in the game liche, very good debuff deathchill tree...that has terrible range but you'll purposely put yourself at close range and it lowers enemy vit res making life leech and reduction to max hp do a ton of dps...

and battle standard and a sim skill on sp;irit where you summon a totem that buffs you and your liches and any other meatshield you toss up but battle standard is pretty amazing at 10 points for 36% damage absorb (all damage types in the game) and +1 all skills...and the spirit one gives cooldown reductions and mp costs down so you can get things like battle standard and war horn back really fast..

once you can dual wield everything to death spellbreaker will wreck the game really fast with really high dps ratings and dps to max hp ontop that..,

you can also manual control the liche to take a lot of damage from you and you can toss out summon ancients or summon outsider if you need more meat shields lol...manual controling liche to move to certain locations allows him to take most of the damage which he should be fine doing esp with a good level wraith shell...just click his icon and tell him to move somewhere and he will do it..

you can eventually wittle the enemies down even if they are immune to harrowing weaponry...and you can easily put anibus wraith in both weapons for life steal...

both gives amazing passives that help with survivabilty...dodge attack while maybe seeming low will save your life a lot, 36% damage absorb will result in you dying less if you use it properly,ignore pain is +16-20% pierce and phys resist, and ya the fact you can bring up so many pets at will pretty much with liche being a permenent one until it dies means you wont have to face tank everything esp in legendary where pets get a x8 hp bonus...

if you want a lifesteal build, that imo is the best option imo...

@Atomic Kid, can I bother you for an example build in a talent calc?

i'll try for lv65 though lv70 you'll cap out anyways...so ya..

seeing how the lvl cap is 75 pre ranoroak and 85..you can then spend it capping ancients or summon ousider and most def circle of power...you'll prob start to run outta things to level at 78+

seeing how you arent using outsider or ancients for dps but more for meatshields you can leave those at 1 for a long time, your main pet will be your liche who lowers enemy resist and heals himself a lot and casts a damage absorb move on himself (again all resists in the game) you will be focused more on yourself a lot and not much on pets but they will help you once you hit epic and start to level liche in act1 epic..

unearthly power isnt too bad to level if you want more damage and you'll more then make up for the damage to self and it does add a lot of phys damage...and spriit ward can be turned on and off at will, it does a lot of damage to undead and lowers dps from them too so 1 point in it and its addon is quite good..

edit: and ya that build is for lv64 with no ranoroak with all quests completed which is really reasonable...and most of that is working on the liche who you dont need until epic...ranaroak adds an additional 9 skill points ontop so this build can be completed at 61 which is extremely early in this chars lifespan...then you can get to maxing things at your leisure..
