Na they won't do that (not yet atleast), no changes to VS or PA in patch notes.

Just trolling him, but it could happen though ;)

Changed thread title to provide a better description. :)

I mean, I still think it's workable, assuming you go physical damage and stack leech like a boss. And take Vaal Pact, because the keystone is now absolutely required for that kind of build.

But if you were planning on using, say, Lightning Arrow instead of Split? Yeah, forget that.

But can't multiple leeches run side-by-side. Thats how it works atm isnt it?

This is talking about queueing leech.

For example:
You are max hp and a mob hits you resulting in losing 100hp. You attack with chain and gain back 100hp per mob hit from leech. The other mobs hit wont queue their leech at all so once you're full hp, (off the first mob) technically all leeches are done and erased.

Example 2:
You are max hp and you take a huge hit resulting in losing 2000hp. You attack with chain and gain 100hp per mob from leech. You hit 6 mobs. thats 6 x 100hp leeching from the mobs for a total of 600hp all running side-by-side. Once you have leeched enough and are full hp then all leech counters are erased.

Am I being a complete spas? Since I went solo, I just haven't bothered learning every last mechanic lol.

have you all forgotten LGOH? isnt that what u are suppose to use for aoe moves?
plus u gain life from lgoh instantly without VP
u use life leech for single targets like bosses

before this patch it was piss easy to just use leech plus aoe and laugh at any reflect mob

Spell users be damned!

So nobody answered my question yet, does the game handle a skill like ice nova/rain of arrows like "one hit" hitting multiple targets?

Because if that is the case it will still leach the same amount for that one hit.

If it counts every individual monster in its aoe as a separate hit, then we be fucked hard bro's :D

If you read the OP, which quotes the patch notes, the answer is very clearly "no" — If you have multiple leeches stacked simultaneously, only the largest one is used.

Yes, it is a crazy change.

I assume it counts each individual packet as a source. But only a dev would know for sure until the expansion is released.

Aye, ppl wont have that free hand anymore.

This and the crit multiplier nerf, they seem to be fed up with people having 7 digit dps and murdering everything one hit.
