Sorrow says it grants 33.3% scaling toward magical lifesteal. I assumed that this means any lifesteal is multiplied by 1.33x, so 12% lifesteal would become 16% lifesteal, roughly.

I tried this out in practice. Fairly simply, just get Bancroft's Talon, Pythagorem's Piece, and Polynomicon, and just basic attack something. The number you get shouldn't be anywhere near 47% lifesteal.

His abilities apply that Sorrow buff that per tick of your abilities, you get a stack of Sorrow (max 3 stacks). You have to first get 3 ticks of your abilities and only then check. And when fully stacked it grants 100% increased magical lifesteal so you'll get far more than just 47%. You can almost get to 100% if you add Divine Ruin to these items.

It turns out, what was confusing me was that magical lifesteal works differently than physical lifesteal. I feel so cheated; more on that shortly.

I went level 20 Anubis vs Ra bot, had Pythagorem's Piece, Divine Ruin, and Polynomicon, for a total of 50% lifesteal exactly.

I then used a single Grasping Hands at Ra bot. This is a list of the tick damage.

1: 137 damage, gained 22 health.

2: 145 damage, gained 31 health.

3: 153 damage, gained 32 health.

4: 163 damage, gained 34 health.

Test this out yourself, I have repeated this experiment and I can duplicate the results, and you should too. If you notice, none of these are 50% lifesteal.

1: 22/137 = 16.06% lifesteal
2: 31/145 = 21.38% lifesteal
3: 32/153 = 20.91% lifesteal
4: 34/163 = 20.86% lifesteal

16 x 1.33 = 21.28% lifesteal, which roughly fits with the amount I got.

tl;dr: I learned that tick spells calculate lifesteal differently, and it takes only one stack of Sorrow to gain the lifesteal benefit. Apparently, magical lifesteal is divided by 1/3, making it an incredibly useless stat.

Edit: Seriously, I feel cheated as hell. Polynomicon gives a mighty 3.33% lifesteal and Pythagorem's Piece gives an actual 8.33% lifesteal. Just...ugh. You could argue that the area damage/multiple targets counteracts this trait, but teamfights are where lifesteal is usually the LEAST effective.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
