Life leech not working with Raise Zombie or Summon Skeleton but does work with Raise Spectre
|
I'm just going by the tooltip but life leach is shaded out for both Raise Zombie and Summon Skeleton but is shaded in and in the tooltip for Raise Spectre. Sorry if I missed something but it is kind of counter intuitive when I only just recently tried using a Life Leech gem in conjunction with my summons and was using this shield with Necromatic Aegis long beforehand thinking it was helping my skeletons and zombies by utilizing the life leach.
If this is not a bug then why not have zombies be able to leech life? It is very hard sometimes for them to survive whole boss fights and such and not having life leach on skeletons makes them lean even more heavily towards just MI summon totem fodder. For reference I am using these two items with my minion gems. I'm assuming that LoH will not work either but I can't test that as I do not have the gem.

I want to confirm and bump this. My raise zombie and summon skeletons also don't seem to be working with life leech gem. Raise spectre does. I don't know if it's a tooltip problem or the effect doesn't work, but it should work right? I really hope this isn't intentional.

Bump, is this a bug?

Bump - same question as OP.

As a summoner this also interests me! I've had similar bugs with support gems, mainly that sometimes they still apply effects to my zombies even after removal from the sockets.

I ran 6x life leeching zombie in catacombs/lun for quite sometime before changing it to multi-strike. My zombies require far more maintenance (making new ones) with multi strike. I realize this is not definitive proof, just my observations.
Actually ill test it out now myself and post my results. Life leech absolutely does work with zombies. By using only a single zombie and watching its health bar in combat i was astounded at just how much damage it must be doing. My zombie appears to be gaining around 8% of its life back per hit with 8.2% leech. when you consider it has 8k life it means that mother fucker is hitting HARD! For years i searched for deep truths. A thousand revelations. At the very edge...the ability to think itself dissolves away.Thinking in human language is the problem. Any separation from 'the whole truth' is incomplete.My incomplete concepts may add to your 'whole truth', accept it or think about it Last edited by SkyCore#2413 on Jul 4, 2013, 9:59:42 PM

Zombies and skeletons can leech life.
f the skill popup is just not showing this, then that's a display bug that will be fixed in a future patch, and thank you for bringing it to my attention. The skill icon still shows the support, and they do still leech life. I have no idea what you mean by saying it's "shaded out" as the skill popups don't use shading, could you elaborate? | |

Cool. Thanks for the reply. :-)
