Chayula Monk Ascendency Node: Consuming Questions Malfunctioning

So the fix to the previous node (Ravenous doubts - FROM instant leech TO all attack damage leech) works well enough, hooray!

Except, something changed with Consuming questions, or more accurately, something was reliant on leech being instant to function:

Two things:

1: the leech from ravenous doubts only transfers *effective* leech to ES. which means that essentially "consuming questions" turns off es recharge, but only grants ES leech equal to the mana cost of the attack skill used, minus any regen during the 1s of leech time. so if you had an attack skill that did 1 million damage, and 100% leech, but the skill cost 50 mana, you'd leech less than 50 ES (less being your mana regen during the leech time)

2: a new issue, undoubtedly a byproduct of removing the instant leech portion of ravenous doubts, the mana leech granted by picking up the blue crystals (waking dream skill, into the breach) now also only grant es based on the effective leech they provided.

granted, the blue crystals *never* actually worked correctly, as they only leeched 7% (14% w/ lucid dreaming node) *OF* your mana *AS* energy shield. so if you had 1k mana and 10k es (silly numbers) then picking up a blue crystal would leech 70/140 ES.

Please help.

Damn, is that what's happening? I just got this specced running Gas Arrow and it's hard to test what's going on with the ES leech or even compare it to the mana leech as my mana is basically always full. What I've been able to observe is that the gas explosions are not doing anything at all to recover my ES, but that could very well be a result of what you describe and the mana topping out and preventing any further recovery.

Hopefully this is not intentional behavior; I don't see how the mana costs of attacks could be expected to scale up to a level where it would result in significant ES recovery if this is how it's supposed to work.

yeah basically only effective leech is transferred, so with entirely too much investment I've got around 62% mana leech (45 w/o support gem,35 w/o weapon for unarmed nonsense)

i would imagine its due to the es leech not *actually* being es leech, tagging-wise, just causing it to be added to current es 1-to-1 when it does mana.

the thing thats causing it to brick is mana leech getting removed when mana is full, which in this case, also stops the es leech, because its not es leech, its just mana leech thats also counting up es.

if that makes sense.

It makes sense (and plausibly explains why I see approximately the same piddly recovery from Vine Arrow hits as from my actual attacks), I just can't confirm for myself that it's definitely what's going on. If GGG would take a look at it that'd be real nice though~
