Life Steal is fairly hard to come by in Diablo 3 classic; It can only occur on weapons and Barbarian-only [[Mighty Belts]], and can also be obtained via a variety of active and passive skills.
* See also [[Life on Hit]] which grants X amount of healing for each "hit" on a valid target.
==Reaper of Souls Removal==
Life Steal is set for huge changes in the expansion. As revealed via datamining, not only are almost all skills from D3V that granted life steal being changed in RoS, but the property will no longer be found on end game weapons, and will actually become non-functional once a character reaches max level:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/life-steal-going-going-gone-reaper-souls]

Life Steal is less effective when you are higher level.
* At level 60, Life Steal gains a 0.10x multiplier.
* At level 70, Life Steal no longer functions.

This change is not being made in a vacuum, and it comes with a suite of other game modifications including the removal of spiky damage and the modification/improvement of many other means of healing. More details should be made available as more official Reaper of Souls information is released.
