I can't beat naga city

There's something weird about Blahblah's lifesteal. I think I've revealed him at maybe lvl 5 or 6 and he has 1540-ish(1554?) health.... If he did actually steal health from the player, how does that happen?

(Not that it isn't a job for Whupaz....)

I haven't actually tested it, but I think the lifestealers steal a percentage of your health and add a percentage of their health. So if you reveal something with "lifesteal 40%" and you're at max health, he'll drop you to 60% and boost his own to 140%. If you're at 90% health, he'll drop you to 60% and boost himself to 130%, etc.

I'm not positive on this one, and it's tricky to not give him anything, I think, because I think you heal before you lifesteals.

My solutions, as it were, are either a) try to reveal the smallest number of squares (ideally 1) + b) reveal him with as little of my own health as possible, or c) get to 65% magic resist with Binlor and stop caring.

Well I just did Naga City with

1) Elf Assassin (Pre-Nerf)
2) Human Transmuter
3) Human Crusader

Seeing as how I don't have a high impression of the Transmuter, I'm going to say this is probably the easiest Vicious dungeon (Dragon Isle is probably 2nd easiest with certain classes like Berserker)

I have to agree with you there. Lifesteal is an EXTREMELY boring mechanic to work around. How about a more interesting thing like making it work like the vamps lifesteal? They get X% of there damage back as life?

Yep. It would act like Damage Reduction (but of course weaker since the health only return after a hit). For higher level monsters/first strike monsters they should overheal as well.

This shouldn't affect %res much, unless the lifesteal is applied before/on top of their damage, which would be very very bad.
