Slayer's changed Brutal Fervour node and POB

Still working on my leech PHD here so if it's something obvious then I apologize in advance.

Playing around with the calcs in pob fork and the new-ish slayer brutal fervour node, it's seemingly doing nothing for my life leech, at all. Base rate stays the same, leech per instance, max total leech, nothing is changing whether I take that node or not. "100% increased max recovery per life leech" is the wording just in case.

Taking zero modifications on the tree for life leech, Brutal Fervour according to pob doesn't actually do anything; Leech instance is the same, instance amount, average instance recovery and leech cap all stay the same.

Also, taking the small node "50% increased total recover per second from life leech" right before Hematophagy affects the per instance life leech by the expected 50%, However according to pob the ONLY change Brutal Fervours new mod does is make the average instances go from 12.1 to 12.2, (increasing my average life leech instance total from 1901 to a whopping 1913).

A; I feel like leech should be more complicated, I've gotten pretty close to figuring it out and once I do that, I've beat the game.

B; Is it just pob? Or am I missing something?

You're missing something.

So what PoB shows is your leech with the assumption you are at your cap of leech

This page can help explain it, specifically the section on modifiers should help https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Leech

So, all that "100% increased maximum reovery per life leech" actually does is increase how much life leech you're able to get in a single instance. It doesn't increase your leech rate, how fast you leech it, or anything to do with actual recovery, and instead simply 'helps' you reach your leech cap per instance faster.

Yeah, the only thing that affects your cap is any increased Maximum total Recovery per second from Life Leech modifier which there are a couple on the tree with the leech nodes and vaal pact doubles whatever cap you have
