Melee splash and claw life on hit

I've heard that using the life on hit support gem with melee splash allows you to gain life for each mob that is hit with the splash, but what about the life on hit from claws? Do you gain life per mob hit or just once?

I would imagine that you would get the LoH.

Doesn't matter. No one sane uses claws as of right now.
GGG gives me Diablo 2 Teleport? I give them 50 bucks. No questions asked.
i wouldnt necessarily say no one uses claws, but the main problem right now with them is that the high level claws are all life leech(of physical damage only) not LoH, and claws typically have sub-par physical damage. the highest level claw with LoH is a lvl46 claw, so it's probably difficult finding one of them with high ilvl for rolling high level mods.

I said no one SANE uses them.

and i stated my opinion on why no one sane uses them.

While I appreciate the insight into the effectivness of using claws at a high level, the question wasn't really answered.

The first reply was unclear, because obviously I'd get LoH, but I don't know whether I'd get that +15 from claws from each mob hit by the splash or just the initial mob.
LoH will trigger per mob hit in the melee splash. im pretty sure the LoH value gets reduced by the less-damage multiplier on melee splash.

You get LoH multiplied by number of mobs hit when using claws with melee splash, I can confirm. Sucks though in highlevel. 15LoH/claw is very low from around level 45+.
Thanks! It will be nice not having to use life on hit support gem since sockets and mana are scarce while leveling.
