Life leach stopped working properly

Hi Adghar, characters should not be hidden now.

Hmmm, looks good to me.

My best guess (other than bug) is that the degen from your Berserker Ascendancy node "Rite of Ruin" is counteracting your Leech when you are not in combat. If you reach max Rage and then leave combat (i.e. haven't taken a hit and haven't generated Rage in the past 4 seconds), you will lose 5.0% of your maximum Life per second, which can be devastating with no regen.

Maybe some others could take a look and find some other game mechanical reason, but if it's not the Rage degen, then I would put in my vote for bug.

EDIT: As a guess, maybe Kondo's Pride (can't Leech on critical strike) and Resolute Technique (can't critical strike) are not working as they should. Perhaps if you try a different two-handed weapon it might fix the issue?

Thanks, I am also leaning towards this bug now as today is the first time I have bothered to play since this became an issue over a week ago and I am still seeing my health drop all the way down then drastically jump up randomly. I also know what you are saying about losing life while out of combat which is something I know I have to manage with this character but as long as I am hitting anything I should be fine with the leach I had before.

I will wait to see what comes of this bug then

IF it's inconsistent it sounds like it may be a bug as currently the Known Issues thread in the Bug Reports forum https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1733474 shows the following:

Leech/Potions not recovering Life.

However as has been said please log into the account that has the character and unhide characters, and/or post a POB pastebin so we can see if there is a game mechanical cause rather than a bug.

If there is a bug, it would also help if you could record a video and/or use /bug and post in the Bug Reports forum with additional details that may help the devs recreate the bug.

rofl and i thought i was imagining things/had pushed the wrong button every time my flasks didn't work… how can they leave a bug like that in the game for so long wtf?
