Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!
" Well vaal pact makes you have no life regen. This means you lose out on about 200-300 hp / second. It also makes it very dangerous to use blood rage. You basically just need to drop any regen points that you can since they are useless, but there are a few you will probably still have to get. Personally I just feel that it ends up wasting points that would be better used elsewhere. You can also just use life on hit to get instant healing between your leach healing as well. Bloodseeker is pretty low on dps for most people, but if its not a huge loss of dps then it is a nice middle ground to vaal pact and takes care of all your life leach needs really. |

" with good DPS and high health you leech enough to be at full health most of the time. Vaal Pack might be good until you improve your gear to a point. Also flasks come in handy when you can't leech life (stunned etc) and with Call Packt you might as well remove all health flasks from your belt ---- forgot about life regen which helps when you get low on health, run away from boss/pack and wait for your health to go back to full. With Vaal Pact you have to hit something to recover life (or port to town :P ).... so its in dead big trade off. Last edited by Golfik#7216 on Nov 15, 2013, 11:15:03 AM

" Hmm, wait a moment and look at my calculation and tell me pls where iam wrong. Dual strike 3202 HP 7 Attacks per second 11% leech from phys dmg 514-1014 1hand (514+1014)/2=764 934-1609 2hand (934+1609)/2=1271 Total phys dmg per attack = 2035 Life leech=2035*0.11= 224 Life leech per 1 second= 224*7= 1568 hp in 1 sec with Vaal pact aaaah damn, only 20% can be leeched per second, nvm then.... Ok Vaal Pact rly sucks Last edited by Dante_A1ighieri#7540 on Nov 15, 2013, 1:15:45 PM

" 20% of your total health (not life leeched). So you can leech 3202/5=640 health each second. I am not sure but using Vaal Pack will allow you to get all of your leeched life back (so whole 1500+ per second) but you will get no life regen or health flask effects. If you think about it, as long as you will not get hit by a monster(s) for more then 50% of your health each second then you should be topped to full at all times. I think with Vaal Packt it would be very important to engage by Leap Slam / Whirling Blades so you can start hitting mobs before they land on you (caster/archers) so you can Leech while getting hit. I might try that for Dominus fight as this should make killing him much easier then it is at the moment :P |

gross lol... well i guess its color changing and inc aoe >.< any thoughts on this? once people unlock white sockets and make it +6 range haha... could be great... i figure i will drop like 5k dps... but should hold firm at 10k+ for the extra range. |

You think that one of the new recipes will be to make white sockets? or will it just be added as a chance to roll white sockets when using chromes?

" personally im not sure, but if there is a recipe i would hope/assume its locked to this item... could you imagine everyone running around with full gear sets with full white sockets, no more need for chromes haha. |
