Zealot's Oath preventing life leech / flasks (potentially visual bug)

After taking damage while having Zealot's Oath, it's not possible to fully recover.

This is a known issue but hasn't been fixed, see: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2235114

After clearing a map just now, I have 6027/6900 life and 2771/2771 ES.
I dipped below 6k health a few times, but could regenerate it with flasks/The Baron.

Now it can't go above 6027 though.

1) Cannot even activate Blood of the Karui, won't consume charges either, has no effect
2) Divine Life Flask does activate and consume charges, but won't recover life
3) Leech has no effect
4) Typing /oos doesn't do anything
5) Unequipping and equipping one of the rings caused my hp to instantly jump back to 6900.

I tried to use Damage on Full Life Support with Leap Slam and it updates the DPS value of the skill, going from ~800 to ~1k. This is why I think it might only be a visual bug.

However, even if it's only a visual bug, it's annoying to play like this, because it makes me think I'm taking damage or am close to dying when I'm not.

This is a visual bug, it the client not updating once your have reached full life server side, you can test this by next time you see it happen remove and reequip either one of your ring or your amulet and this should update you life pool to full.

He did that in step 5 and life went back to normal.
Problem is that if you look at what he writes, he says that this visual bug is affecting he clients (skills and so on).......

Well that is what I get for looking over most but not all of the post, but ye this is only a client side visual glitch but server side it is still full life and you get all the benefits from that.
This visual glitch has been here for a long time.

having the exact same issue .. playing a zombie baron build with Geofris chest aswell and can confirm its visual .. when i reequip ring it updates


.. still thats just scary and weird how that bugged out.

My understanding of it is a bit of lag between the client and the server, where the life leech fills up the servers side life pool, but does not tell the client side life pool to update once more after it is full.

Baron Zombie build here and have the exact same issue.

Just how far "just a visual bug" goes if you can and WILL die from it?
If you allow your life to get low enough to die to this "visual" bug, like reaching zero life due to chaos damage (chaos/poison damage is what causes the bug) for example you die, but its no as simple as re-spawning at the checkpoint/ wasting a portal in maps, you ARE stuck and the only way to fix it is to exit to character selection or to log out then back in.
