does nasus lifesteal of the physical damage of his stacks too?

as far as I know lifesteal is only the ad part of any empowered attacks. but he seems to lifesteal a lot. are his stacks accounted for in the lifesteal?. its pretty ridiculous when you try to 2v1 him and he just qs minions and goes full health.

Life steal is based off the percentage of damage you deal. The more damage you deal, the more you life steal.

This is true, but incredibly misleading. On hit damage does not benefit from lifesteal.

As an example, fully stacking fervor of battle does not result in more life returned per hit as compared to before it is stacked.

To heal off of on hit damage, you need to purchase "heals for % damage dealt" like WOTA or gunblade. Death's dance also (if you are talking about oh hit physical damage ofc).

To answer the OP though, Nasus Q makes his next auto attack deal damage equal to his auto+base+stacks. So, since this damage is not considered on hit damage, the answer is yes he does life steal off all the stacks. Its the primary reason Nasus cannot lose any 1v1 matchup given enough time (and Q farm).

on-hits apply lifesteal if they deal physical damage with the exception of Aatrox's W.

Whoops, you're right. I'm not sure why I thought otherwise. I guess because the majority of the on hit damage I build is magical and im not buying a gunblade so I don't think about it. (Haven't built a sheen in a long time). Thanks =p

Life steal is based off the percentage of damage you deal. The more damage you deal, the more you life steal.

Percentage of the PHYSICAL damage you deal FROM AUTO ATTACKS.

Magic damage from wit's end, devourer, or guinsoo's rage doesn't count Physical damage from abilities like zed's shurikens doesn't count But your auto damage counts, bonus crit damage counts, on hits count ONLY IF THEY DEAL PHYSICAL DAMAGE. That means Fervor procs count, Nasus's Q counts, abilities that apply on-hits like Ezreal Q and Yasuo Q count.

There are some exceptions to these rules, like Hydra making lifesteal apply to its active or Aatrox's on-hit damage toggle not applying lifesteal, and some vaguely defined abilities that you need to specifically check if they count as auto attacks or not.

Yeh it does. Nasus is hard when ahead, but that's kindpof the point. If you counter him (or play any kindof top laner with a strong early game) you can completely deny him his stacks and then he's useless. If he gets fed anyway, you gotta kite him. Nasus is very easy to kite in a teamfight. He's got 0 movement abilities and a single target slow that only effects one person. it can be difficult but you definately can kill him.
