How much of life leech is enough?

Take your own advice and read my original post.


Wat? OP is asking about LoH vs LL gem. Your post has nothing to do with that. His phys damage obviously sucks, so yeah he could stack like 20% life leech from gear but his LL would still suck.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Because giving him advice that would possibly save him a gem slot isn't relevant? Seeing as I've made a few elemental builds that still scaled off well off Physical leech I thought my advice would be semi-useful.

My current wander has... what.. 250 Physical? And she's leeching just fine with 5% off of Blood Rage. My Glacial Hammer Scion has about 1500 Physical but attacks slower so I gave her more leech.

Advice is advice. Tips are tips. Sometimes you might find something you never thought of before. Someone told me to drop my LL for some % leech jewelry. Best advice I ever got for my characters. DPS went up by 50% and survivability barely took a hit.

EDIT:

Not to mention:

Directly from the OP. Gave him more options.

A fixed rate is also a cap, can we agree to agree? You're both right.


Well, a cap implies that there are values for rate of life leech below 20% of your max life per second (there aren't).

Isn't there a cap on leech?

20% of your max life per second... (24% with quality gem), thanks for keeping up.


Fairly obvious why you are on probation.
Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins.

Fair enough, it might help him if he ends up having more physical damage than anticipated when he was planning the build.

Weird so much arguing on such simple theme :)

Anyway TY all for contribution, yes I agree too that getting LL. out from jewelry/gloves/tree is often better then sacrificing gem slot, currently I'm weigh few options;

One interesting would be to get weapons with roughly 50% phy 50% ele damage. They are usually cheaper then pure phys. ele weapons; Auras will apply nicely, WED gem would be 50% effective as would tree bonuses but at least I could leech with jewelry.

If not - my only option would be to go with cleave (1 gem instead of double strike/aoe splash) or get 6-link chest which is out of my budget, unless tabula rasa but then again I have bunch of other issues ....


Eh ..making a build is fun :)
