Lifetap Support is a support gem that causes linked skills to have a life cost instead of a mana cost, similar to the Blood Magic keystone, at the expense of a high cost multiplier. Spending a certain amount of life grants the Lifetap buff, which allows skills supported by Lifetap to deal more damage.
For the support gem that changes mana reservations to life, see Arrogance SupportArrogance SupportAura, Support

Supported Skills deal (10-19)% more Damage while you have Lifetap
- This stat's condition can be met by having any Lifetap buff, even from other skills. It is not part of the buff and does not scale with buff effect.
Its combination of properties can make Lifetap an interesting option for skills with otherwise lacking support options. For example:
- Death Aura has no mana cost and no duration. Supporting it with Lifetap will give it a duration, and allow it to be supported by Swift Affliction SupportSwift Affliction SupportSupport, Duration
