New page

A common [[modifier]] on weapons in Diablo III, '''Life After Each Kill''' grants the player X hit points per monster slaughtered.

Leech will not be found in Diablo III; not at all, or else very rarely. In its absence, properties like LAEK will likely be quite useful, even though their bonus largely overlaps with that granted by [[skill orbs]]. Both will lead to recovering hit points after killing monsters; the danger will be dying in the middle of a battle, before kills can be scored and hit points recovered.

-'''Life After Each Kill''' (LAEK) is an affix found on items (weapons and armor) in Diablo 3. The affix does what it sounds like; grants X amount of life (hit points) for each monster killed, whether a normal "white" enemy, an Elite, or even an Act Boss.
+Life per Kill or "LpK" is a character property that details how much life a character gains for each enemy killed. The bonus is always a set figure, never a percentage, and is tabulated for each enemy killed, regardless of their size or difficulty -- this modifier awards the same bonus whether a character kills an Act Boss or the lowliest trash mob.
-LAEK is a helpful affix to keep a health bulb topped off during regular play, but [[trash mobs]] are not very dangerous in Diablo 3. The danger in the game comes from Boss battles, and in those LAEK is of little use, since it doesn't heal during a battle with one or a few tougher enemies.
+While less valued than [[Life per Hit]], LpK is a useful modifier in Reaper of Souls, and much improved in value from its Diablo 3 origin. Some reasons for the increased value of this modifier in the expansion:
-As a result, [[Life Steal]] and [[Life on Hit]] are much more useful and popular item modifiers.
+Life per Kill can be found on numerous item slots in Reaper of Souls, and with higher numbers than in Diablo 3. Characters can easily exceed 10,000 life per kill with several items boosting it.

+While LAEK sounds very useful, it's not clear how it will help much when life is needed most; during [[boss]] battles. Big bosses will drop health globes at set intervals in their life loss, enabling characters to stay alive. LAEK though, only helps when a monster is slain, making it useless against single large targets, which seems to limit the value of this modifier.
