Most of us that use barbs know that LT doesn't cast with WW...that's why WW barbs usually have some sort of LT charge gear. I'm trying to fit out my stash with as many options as I can and I'm having a question which source of Life Tap I should go.
Marrowwalk-These boots have 10 level 12 charges of Life Tap. That's a huge radius and it should last for quite a bit of time. (about 42 seconds) The downfall is how much it'd cost to repair the recharges. I used 3-4 charges and had to be about 42k gold. But the advantage of these is I can use LT without having to switch weapons. I can just cast and go.
3WC/LT dagger-Among the ultimate in WC weapons. It gives you the Life Tap without having to sacrifice the WCs. It would save the most space as I won't have to switch anything out to use a form of LT. The only disadvantages are you have to switch to cast and the fact that they're INCREDIBLY hard to find/afford.
Plain LT wand/dagger-The lowest end on the list. The wand takes up the least space, but you still have to take out a WC weapon to use it...lowering your life/mana/stamina, plus the fact you have to switch weapons to cast LT and then switch back to attack. Still...it's better than having no Life Tap at all.
So those are the choices I have right now. Any opinions welcome, as well as any sort of gear I don't know about. For the record, this is ONLY to be used as a LT smiter counter, or for other melee that does the same. I think having a source of LT would help me better than a Doom.
