Embezzler's Grip - Ancient system that no longer fits in modern PoE

First off, there's very little information about embezzler's grip besides the buff icon which says "reduced recovery of life/es/mana"

So how much?

Actually, it's literally 100%. From 3rd party sources, the Grip Aura itself is 50% reduction, and the archers debuff you for 100% total.

There's currently nothing you can possibly do the alleviate or remove this debuff, except by having sources of instant recovery such as 100m DPS and some sort of instant leech.

Currently the best sources to stay alive, is Defiance of Destiny up to 42% recovery of missing unreserved life before hits.

Bloodnotch on stunning hits.

And that's it. Nothing else works.



ES can be recovered by sources of instant ES such as ES on hit (attacks only), ES leech + Instant leech mastery + 100m dps.

Remember, it's 10% of leech is instant, and 1%~ damage is leeched as ES. So it's 0.1% of your HIT damage. As a result to recover 100 ES, you need 100k HIT.

Additionally, if you are doing delirious there's an 80% damage reduction penalty, which means you need a 500k hit post mitigation hit to heal 100 ES instantly.

Other sources such as Shaper ring prefixes (huge opportunity cost), for 3 mana gain on hit (attack and spells), 15 life gain on hit (life and spells).


Regardless, Torment League was so long ago, and this ghost mod is unbelievably destructive to any gameplay today (and back then too tbh, but the monster damage and monster power was a lot lower back then).


Currently, you see this on a bulky mob (100% deli Valdo Map) and the danger level exceeds anything else by a factor of 100.
