Blood drinker

I picked up blood drinker yesterday on my duelist, but it doesn't seem to leech anything. I'm wondering if it's bugged or if I'm doing something wrong.

does it not work with bows? are undeads immune to life leech?

You're doing nothing wrong, i you're early in the game you're probably doing too little damage to notice it, besides, the leech isn't instant but spread over a couple of seconds as regen. If you spread 2 damage you leech out of your 100 damage attack over a couple of seconds it isn't very noticeable on your 300-400 health pool. If you use converted damage skills like lightning arrow the leech is even lower as only physical part of the damage leeches.

Leech is an endgame modifier, you don't really need it early on and it should be stacked high to be reliable. Leech works on all enemies, you can leech even from energy shields.

That is also not how it works at all, luckily.

Leeched Life is returned at a rate of 20% Max Life per second. Let's say you have 500 Life. Leech will then heal you for 100 Life per second. The amount of Life Leeched doesn't matter; it's always 100 Life per second at 500 Life.

If you Leech 10 Life with an attack, you will regenerate for 0.1 seconds.
If you leech 500 Life, you get 5 seconds of regeneration.

Regardless, as Raics mentions, it's likely that you're simply dealing too little Physical damage to notice the regeneration.

True, works exactly like that. Must of mixed that up with something else I read before. Hard to keep track sometimes.

Thanks for the replies. I have to say I still can't see any life being leeched in the game.

I've been experimenting a bit... say I'm at 190 hp, I kill a few enemies with the normal attack on my bow without getting touched at all, I look back at my hp, wait a few seconds... it's still 190. Even with 2% leech from blood drinker I expect to at least get one lousy hp out of it?

Ok, makes sense. Was doing about 50 damage. Shame about the rounding down though, it'd be nice for low levels to be able to profit from that skill.

does the blood drinker passive stack with infraction bow? or no? >< need answer asap thankyou guys
