 '''Bloodthirst''' is a [[Barbarian passive]] skill unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 24, which causes the Barbarian to gain life based on the amount of damage he deals, in a traditional [[leech]]-skill.
 This skill is set for a big change/nerf in Reaper of Souls. Datamined information tells of its future:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?848901-Barbarian-RoS-Datamined-Skill-Changes&p=8559402]

 This is part of RoS' across-the-board change to healing, which is almost entirely removing [[Life Steal]] from the game, whether it comes from skills or item bonuses.

 ==Synergies==
-No [[synergies]] with any [[active skills]] or other [[Barbarian passives]] are known.
+There are no direct [[synergies]] with any [[active skills]] or other [[Barbarian passives]]. However all skills that boost damage boost the effectiveness of Life Steal, and the Barbarian has a number of those.

 {{Passive history notes}}
 Bloodthirst is unique in that it was an original passive skill and is once again a passive skill, but was never a [[trait]]. For the July 2011 Press Event, it had a listed level of 1 (presumably so players could try it out from the beginning), but for the beta, it was a level 10 passive.
 ===Beta===
 The [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Bloodthirst was moved to level 10. When passives were reorganized for [[Beta Patch 14]], Bloodthirst was moved up to level 24.
