Scion -Slayer ascentancy node explanation needed

Can someone please explain to me the "Life Leech effects are not removed at full life" node in Slayer ascendancy for scion?

Thanks in advance

This is known as overleech.

Leech works like this:
When you hit a monster with leeching attack, an instance of leech is created that will funnel life over time to you. This instance is removed when either the duration of leech expires, the instance funnels all the life it can or you reach full life.

This node removes the last condition. The effects are that you are effectively considered leeching as long as you did a leeching hit recently, thus making the "while leeching" conditions more reliable, and the still active leech instances start working instantly when you take damage, rather than having to create a new leech first.

Usually leech would simply stop happening once you hit full life and other mods like "immunty to XYZ while leeching" or "deal x% inc dmg while leeching" wouldnt apply anymore.

Also this ascendancy allows you to build up a extre lifepool via leech for a short time. You are basically overleeching and have this already leeched life ready to go, ready to heal you, the moment you do take a hit.
Its like an invisible extra buffer on top of your lifepool.


Its a very powerful mechanic to sustain life as long as you are fighting
