Lifesteal and Hardened Skin Stacking

[Kartron]

is lifesteal and hardened skin stackeable?

if hardened skin isn't stackeable will it work 2 times (2 chance to block attack) if i put 2 abilities on a unit with 50% of blocking?

 

[Arhowk]

no, highest one applies, I believe.

hardened skin doesn't work like that, it reduces a flat amount of damage from hit. I believe only the one with the higher amount of damage reduced will apply. (Haven't tested either of these)

 

[Malhorne]

Yes I think only the highest one will work ....
I think it is time to test.

If you're talking about normal lifesteal (not vampiric aura or -potion), it does never stack. The one which is used is determined by the following rule:
Take the ls ability from the items with the highest slot priority (if an item has multiple ls abilities take the last one in the list) and compare it to the last aquired non-item lifesteal ability. The one which is acquired later is used.

Damage block stacks to some extent. On one attack only one damage block ability is able to take effect, while the last acquired (pick up for item or lvl 1 for a normal skill) ability is checked first.

Example:
You pick up an item that blocks 50% 100 damage. After that you pick up an item that blocks 100% 1 damage.
-> you will always block 1 damage and never be able to take advantage of the better ability.

If you first pick up the 100% 1 damage block and after that the 50% 100 damage block, you will in 50% block 100 damage and in cases where the good ability fails block 1 damage

Mind that damage block follows the pseudorandom distribution Blizzard implemented and therefore has a bit lower chance to proc than actually specified in the ability.
(except at an chance of 100%, that one really is 100%)

You can stack a orb effect life steal with a melee effect life steal for example mask of death + vampiric aura I think.

EDIT: If this is harming anybody besides muzzle, let me know and I will delete this post otherwise its for muzzel.

I MUST ADD: 100% to block ranged attack and 50% to block melee stacks. When you use 2 different items or 2 different abilities or even in a single ability ("chance to block melee" / "... range" )

The usual lifesteal ability is told to be stacking, if you put a different buff on it(Yes, it doesn't show one by default, but it has)

Hardened skin? Nope. Although you can maybe do something through damage detection.

Does it matter if its on a melee or a ranged attack?
Just to make sure, are you reffering to "Life Steal (Frostmourne)"?

Yep, that same one.

Okay, back to topic, I believe Hardened Skin stack based on how the damage amount applies (if 1st has 30% chance for 50 null and 2nd has 100% chance for 5 null, when the 30% happened the 100% will get overridden due to lower value.)
