life leech and energy shield leech questions

I've heard that you can max get 20 percent of your life per second, is that with life steal and regeneration combined or only one? if only one, then wich one and what is the other?

If you then use the passive Ghost Reaver that changes so your life steal heals energy shield, will it then also use 20 percent cap of energy shield as it does with life?

If you use Vaal Impact passive so your life leech is instant, is it then still capped at 20 percent per second, or is the cap removed? will it then be 20 percent per attack/skill?

Same question with Vaal impact and Ghost Reaver together, is it then max 20 percent of energy shield per second, per attack or completely removed?

Wish you a good day
For one, the 20%/sec rule is not a cap.

By default, Life Leech regenerates your Life at a rate of 20% Max Life per second.
If you have 1000 Life, Leech heals you for 200 Life per second.
Leech 100 Life, and you regenerate for 0.5 seconds.
Leech 1000 Life, get 5 seconds of regeneration.

Of course, if you leech enough to regenerate constantly, getting more Leech won't heal you up any faster. It will probably just be wasted. That is why people erroneously call it a cap.

ES Leech is ES Leech. It looks at your Maximum ES to determine the speed at which it regenerates you.

There is no cap to remove. Life Leech is applied instantly, regardless of the amount of Life leeched.
thanks.

you didnt answer if Vaal Impact removes so you can heal more then 20 percent per second though? If not then it would be completely useless, since it diminishes your heal, if it then cant heal you for more then 20 percent and doesnt heal after that wich you say normal leech would do...?
Yes, if you take Vaal Pact, you can heal more than 20% life per second with leech.
With Vaal Pact, leech heals you instantly. The only 'cap' on it is that it can't take you above maximum life. This can be to your disadvantage if you are close to max life and your damage output is very intermittent.

sry for necro but i felt my question would best fit in here.


ES has a normal regeneration that kicks in by default after 6 seconds. ES Recovery Duration can be reduced by passives.


Does any combination of the skills CI/VPact/GReave/ZOath
disable that default ES regeneration?

I plan on Ci/Ghost Reave/Vaal Pact.
Infight filled instantly by Life leech converted into ES(GR/Vaal Pact)
After a fight or when quit and run :) ES regenerated/recharged through the normal processs(if still availabel!? in that skill combo).


Here it says,
"
Vaal Pact can be added to Ghost Reaver for instant leeching. Life flasks have no effect in CI, although any ES regeneration from Zealot's Oath will be disabled.

but it doesnt mention, if you wouldn't take ZOath, if you then still wouldn't get ES regeneration.

The default ES regeneration is called ES Recovery. No passive mentions it will prevent ES Recovery, ergo they don't. That's how passives work in PoE :P

Your answer rephrased could be

"ES Recovery is not effected, ergo you can either replenish your ES through Life Leech or out of combat through default Recovery"

that is what you are saying right?
Yes, with GR+VP you can get ES through Leeching and by waiting around. :)
