I've been toying with Vengeance finally, and I got to say so far I really like it, but I have one question. What does Vengeance count as because I'm attacking bosses and am not getting HP back from life steal but I am getting life back when I hit enemies which I take it is coming from the Abyss Sphere. Put simply does life steal work or not with Vengeance?
Is there a lower resist cap on conviction right now because I have well over 20 skill points on it, and it says that it only gives -150%?
Yeah, just found out the hard way that's the case. Oh well. Better to realize that now.

Sort of similar question/concern I asked before, but is Skeletal Burst like Murder of Crows in that it benefits from physical resistance modifiers but not any other physical/melee modifiers like life steal?
I feel like i've answered this 100 times but I will do it again ANYTHING that gains damage based on your weapons damage will apply any on-hit effects, such as crushing blow, life steal, chance to cast abilities, etc. Skeletal Burst is STRICTLY based on weapon damage, so yes it will apply life steal.
The only reason I asked was that life steal via Hysteria with Skeletal Burst wasn't working for me yesterday.
I had the same problem with my Vengeance Paladin as well when I switched to using smite mid battle against a boss (I want to emphasize that again that I switched to using Smite and also tried Zeal as well) with 4 amn runes on the Griswold weapon, and I was barely healing myself (I'm guessing my Abyss Sphere did the most work here), so maybe you can understand my concern here. So maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
