Slayer Endless Hunger and its interaction with 100%crit acuities

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1913661

The tldr version is Overkill damage from Endless hunger is not instant from Acuities and can be used to generate up to 30% passive life regen from ascendancy alone on an instant leech 100% crit character

There is a link to the post i made in the gameplay help forum.

This might be common knowledge to some, but completely missunderstood by others.

The implications for Slayer builds in 3.0 meta may be substantial



Things like RF/bloodrage sustained without any investment in tree regen/max resistances

Bleed Immune
Stun immune

All while enjoying all of your Life/Mana leech instant.

That is absolutely true. It is also interesting that this is the case just with Atziri's Acuity, as it does not work the same way with Vaal Pact and you in fact loose the overkill leech

I guess it's the difference is overkill isn't a crit

So vaal pact and legacy vinktar are in same boat, although legacy vinktar user can just not pot every now and then To fill the leech tube

Update. This has been confirmed as an unintentional bug by ggg posting in thread mentioned in the first post.


I guess rip before I even got to make a 3.0 build with it
Interesting. It seems though that fixing this bug is not a top priority at the moment (or at least that's what i got from the wording of the response posted by Mark). So who knows ... there is a chance that it won't be fixed in 3.0.
