Development Manifesto - Upcoming changes to Leech - Forum

Can anyone answer this question? plz I'm planning on having a shadow with Chaos Inoculation and Ghost Reaver. But since life leech rate is based on the max Life and if I take CI which turns my max life into 1, will it mean that my life leech rate which is applied to the energy shield will be extremely low ? Or the leech rate will be based on the max ES instead ?	Posted by DaniellJung on Nov 8, 2015, 12:23:27 PM Quote this Post

Thats how I fixed that leech 2.0 I agree on that, investing into (life) leech nodes seems so ineficient... Investing into regen is far better, because it's stable and doesnt stop when you stop attacking or at full life. And if one gets Vaal Pact (or Atziri's Acuity), all that "increased life leech rate" bonuses from LL nodes (and gem) will became useless. Leech mechanics itself is still OK, but LL nodes in the tree just SUCK! No one will invest points into them, they're just too weak. Very well said, agree with you guys. Melee and new life leech node super garbage and useless weak, need add to them %life or increase all stats (mods) on every node by 50-100% to make little more viable.

But i strongly advice you to take Vaal PAct in this case and leech instantly - since it will have no downsides for you (well, if you dont plan to use Zealot's Oath as well).

Leech feels garbage, getting 6-8 frenzies with The Blood Dance boots looks more efficient to regain your life.	Posted by fRxDimitrov on Nov 27, 2015, 3:31:46 PM Quote this Post
I recommend changing most physical attack leech modifiers to melee attack leech. Bow users get the best of both worlds, while elemental melee builds get royally screwed. for all mirror items check The Forbidden Trove: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2516760	Posted by antilev2 on Apr 21, 2016, 3:44:57 PM Quote this Post
