Life stealing
From Guild Wars Wiki
This article is about the life stealing definition. For the Life Stealing effect, see Life Stealing (effect).Life stealing means transfering life from the target to the user.
It can either be caused by vampiric weapons or skills, most notably those of Necromancers and Ritualists. Some monsters also have skills which cause life stealing, for example Twisting Jaws.
Life stealing does not count as damage or healing, therefore it ignores armor and bypasses all forms of protection.
If your character uses a skill or effect that would steal more Health than a foe actually has, the foe will lose the full amount of Health, and your character will not gain more Health than the foe actually had.
