20% for life, 12.5% for mana - but not with those gloves (on crit strike)

As far as I know, the cap is only for the over time leech (max 20% life per second). If you leech instantly, like with Vaal Pact and the Gloves, the 'cap' is not present.

I thought these pictures were fake, then i saw Chris' comment on Leddit

What the fuk were GGG thinking when they let these through the design mill!?!!

HURP DURP LETS NERF SOMETHING BROKEN, THEN REINTRODUCE IT IN AN EVEN MORE BROKEN FORM FOR SO ONLY RMT KIDS WITH 300 EX CAN USE IT

this is pretty much what its starting to feel like...

but GGG does not get any profit from RMT because all of that is done by third party sites which have no affiliation to GGG...

so either GGG owns RMT sites and this is a huge conspiracy... or something just isnt right...

maybe Chris Wilson got really drunk and pretended he was jay wilson while he was making this patch :)

Gettin the tin foil hat out I see?
Those items just roll good because they are goddamn hard to get, as they should.

another "if i cant have it no one should should be able to have it" thread.

love how crit gets another item / mechanic that bypasses a downside of other options.

The gloves are not the first thing introduced that ignores the Vaal Pact restriction. Bloodseeker has been doing this for a while. The gloves are now the second thing that bypasses it. I don't see everybody up in arms over how Bloodseeker can still regenerate full life for attacks made with it. (Yes, I realize that bloodseeker isn't best in socket, but that's not the point, everybody is saying that an item ignoring the new vaal pact is an affront to them.)

Then also, yes, these items are insanely strong. They should be. The amount of people that will be able to even touch these are very few and far between. They should be rewarded. Look at all the people bitching and whining about how there is no reward in Invasion. Well, now there is suitable reward for the risk of fighting whichever monster carries these uniques. People still bitch.

Also for those people whining about RMT, I say good. Bring on the RMT for these items. Do you think that GGG can't track the negligable amount of these items that will be spawning? I would love to see people get ensnared by these items and banned for it.

For 99,99% of players, those new uber-items are like they were not in the game.
They will never ever even come close to them.
Even taking RMT into consideration: how many will there be that you can just buy them?

So why whine about their stats?
The gloves could give +500% crit chance and triple your lifeleech, who cares?
Can't use them anyways.

They don't affect the metagame at all.

So much time wasted on whining.

You're missing the point completely. Mechanics have been nerfed to make way for these items which are an RMT users wet dream. Slowly ruining the game for 95% of players, whilst catering to the 5%. YAY!
