Ele reflects only 15% now not 18. And where in the hell does someone get 8k life and 20k dps?

If I have:

1.how much life would I actually be leeching per second assuming no vaal pact and could I survive such an attack? Does life regen effectively "override" a portion of the life leech gem making it somewhat pointless when dealing with reflect?

2.Am I limited to 20% life healed per second via life leech? (meaning at most 2000 life per second) , does this take in account life regen?

3.then, how does scenario this change if i had vaal pact?

Spoiler

It´s deffinitely not top equip.

I have 6500 life
21 k dps rain of arrows solo.

Linked: RoA + faster attacks + conc. effect + life leech + weapon elemental damage + blood magic (used added fire before patch)

auras: Wrath/Anger

If I have Kaoms and 6L lioneye I could have like 9 k life and same dps...

Vaal pact will give you all life leech instantly back, simple as that

Regen, potions and leech all stack on top of each other and dont limit the other. Leech is 'capped' at 20% ... or 24% (with 20/20 life leech gem) of your life per second, *without* vaal pact. Life leech gem is the only way to leech with non-physical damage.


20000 x 0.088 = 1760 hp, cap more or less reached without vaal pact (but then again this is ignoring monsters res and assuming he has 0 res to that element)
20000 x 0.18 - 3600 reflect, then resists bring this down to 900 (75 res) or less

So what exactly does vaal pact do? does it make that 1600 life leech amount apply instantly instead of continuously over 1 second?

Yes, no cap at all. You lose your regen and potions though, on hp build its bad idea unless you have huge dps and some chaos res.
