How do “on hit” effects work with channeled / DoT skills?

I know for melee "Life on Hit" is a great affix, but for a wizard that only casts ray of frost / hydra / blizzard is it worth investing on weapon that has "Life on Hit" on it?

Thanks.

  • even if it does, it would just have a really low modifier, so even if you have each hit adds 100 health, it might only add 10 health per tick.

Yes, channelled spells do cause the "Gain life on hit" effect to proc. All abilities in the game have a coefficient which is applied to this effect. This coefficient is extremely low for channelled spells to offset the ability to hit several times per second, so each hit only heals a very small amount. Yes, it can be useful still, but no more so than normal casts; the fact you are hitting constantly won't make you overpowered.
