has anyone seen the skull vems actually do something

[kickazzrogue]

Im just wondering if anyone has seen skull gems actually drain health comes im not really noticing anything

[UndeadJudge]

I think it works, but the lifesteal is so incredibly small (like 2%) that you won't notice it. I'm not quite sure if it has a visual effect though.

2.5% chance to get 2% HP back and that's on supergem. Least useful gem IMO, maybe except for when used on mage (and even then, just one).

Lifesteal works, you only need 1 skull gem and the number of skull gem you have does not dictate how much hp you steal, if you have 1.8 hp your lifesteal is 40-60hp(from my test), attack per lifesteal is somewhere 10:1 or 15:1 its really low. STS should clarify how this skull gem works as:

if the number of skull gem increases your % for lifesteal.
if the number of skull gem increases the hp of the lifesteal.

The full details were said before, but it was said as a reply in someone's thread. I forget all the details, though, but they're out there...somewhere.

It works and is somewhat useful for a mage since this class has meaningful aera of effect attacks.
On normal gem it's 1% chance to get 2% hp back. On supergem it's 2,5% chance to get 2% hp back.
Yes it's low but any hp regen is good for mage imo.
But i think sts should buff this gem.
