Life Leech % Cap

Does anyone know the Life Leech % cap? I heard it was 20% but I'm not sure about that.
20% of life per second. If you use a 20% life leech gem, it is raised to 24%.

Ok, thanks.
There is technically not a cap. 20% is a set rate all life leech always happens at, not a cap, which would imply it can be happen slower than that.

You guys must be working quite hard there lol, decipher this?
I think I finally found a way to rephrase it to be technically correct. You always leech at a rate of 20% (24%) of max life per second. However, your regen can be anywhere from an AVERAGE of 0-20 (24)% per second. If you do 200 damage with 2000 life, you'll gain that 200 over half a second.

Yeah was thinking about it. Already been stated leech works by giving a HoT effect. So more leech just increases the duration of the HoT effect.
Bingo, and that's where Vaal Pact comes into play.
Don't Touch my Sweep please GGG!
I don't get it.

What do you mean by 20% is the rate life leech always happens at?

If I deal less damage than 20% of my max life, I won't HoT at 20% right?

And, does this "cap" applies to leech only or life gain as well? I'm confused and have hurt myself in the process.

Regardless of the damage that you do, you leech at a rate equal to 20% of your life. So if you have 1000 hp and you do 100 damage, you will gain 200 life per second for 0.5 seconds. If you do 400 damage you will gain 200 life per second for 2 seconds.

I believe the only thing that affects this rate is Quality Life Leech gem.
