Life Leech (+Vaal Pact)

I saw someone say that life leech was changed and a cap of 20% was added. The wiki doesn't directly say there is a 20% cap, but it does it use in one of the formulas. I'm not entirely sure how it works. Right now, I have 30% life leech. Does that mean 10% of my leech is useless? Also how does Vaal Pact play into this?

The reason I ask these questions is because I was creating a build that utilizes life leech and I currently have 30%. I'm not sure how effective my build is and also not sure if I should get Vaal Pact. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't a 20% lifeleech cap afaik. But you can only leech 20% of your maximum life per second.
With vaal pact this limit is completely circumvented.

If you intend to risk your ass in the most dangerous places of Wraeclast, you need Vaal Pact, especially if you're playing melee.

The cap is the maximum percentage of your life you can leech per second. That can be increased with skills/items. Plus to maximum leech rate means you can leech more than 20% of your max life.

Vaal Pact ignores everything in regards to rate and duration. You get a flat conversion and it acts like "life per hit" applying the leech instantly.
