Upcoming changes to Leech
" Sure Life regen is very important in certain situations, such as RF, and can even be a highly useful thing for other characters, however the main thing I was trying to say I noticed didn't really get through in my original post. And that is that many characters will end up having no life Regen at all. Such as archers and maybe some casters. Or maybe they have like 4 life regenerated per second from some random piece of gear and that's totally pointless and it's no hardship what so ever to trash that bit and get instant leech. I haven't been able to play these changes in beta, but I'm still looking for some sort of reason behind making VP 100%. The Manifesto seemed lacking in that department. I am a shadow. I was born the youngest daughter of a respected family, raised to fight, weep and bleed for God and the Order. I would have died to keep my mouth shut. Professional integrity, it's called. That lord sang a different tune once I had taken their children.

" Unless you mean goodbye running elemental reflect maps, hell no. Live = lvl 21 life leech gem @ 9.1% @ 40% effectiveness = 3.64% instant leech with VP, no regen. Beta = any lvl life leech gem @ 2.0% @ 100% effectiveness = 2.0% instant leech with VP, no regen. I simulated beta VP for elemental leech on live using a lvl 1 life leech @ 5.0% giving 2.0% with the live VP effectiveness. Doing pure lightning damage with 84% lightning resistance I would one shot myself (AoE) if not on a topaz in an ele reflect map. " Why? What on earth did you base this on? " Level 21 life leech gem. Live VP = 3.64% instant leech. CB VP = 2.0% instant leech. CB VP if at 40% effectiveness = 0.8% instant leech. Casually casual. Last edited by TheAnuhart on Jun 17, 2015, 5:22:23 AM

Emmm, for slowpokes...
Do I understand right that basically leech from 1 target is now capped at 2% of max life per sec? And only stacking leeches from different targets and sources (different skills) makes those leeches to get to maximum leech rate cap(20%)? Excluding all passives|possible items for base leech rate. Permanently sorry for bad English :D Last edited by Immundissime on Jun 17, 2015, 5:44:30 AM

@ immundissime: Wrong, since you don't leech 2% of your life, but 2% of damage dealt.
About the 20% leech cap I am not sure, but basically you're right in those points “Losing a limb is no excuse for cowardice.” - Master Sollis, "Blood Song"

" I'm getting certain that I wrote right, look at the first post - it was redacted with addition about 2 caps. And there's also this subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3a0818/cb_vitality_void_leech_cluster/cs99982 It isn't very clear, but as I understand you have now cap at 2% of max life pool for leech from 1 target, 20% cap max life pool per sec from all leech sources, both can be expanded with new passives|items|gem qualities. Very interested in clarification from GGG staff. Permanently sorry for bad English :D Last edited by Immundissime on Jun 17, 2015, 8:07:16 AM

Will be these changes apply to current items, like dividing all current leech by 5 or will we have some incredible Legacy CoE's after patch?
Seems a bit complicated to change those numeric values... I'm a bit scared, but could be fun for standard ^^ |
|
" I'd like to know the same thing... Here's Mark seems to say they won't change any numeric values on existing items, is it right? http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1277835/page/3 | |

What is going to happen to the leech mods on Carnage Heart? Because if that stays the same, 8% leech, then that's going to go up in value a whole lot. Every vaal pact build will want it. Will there be legacy Carnage Hearts? What about implicit leech mods? 6% on Terror Claws at present seems like it will be pretty OP. Are Terror Claw's implicit mods going to be retroactively reduced across the board? If not, then anyone who is using, say, a Vaal claw will more or less be forced onto the Terror claw because with the changes to leech in the tree the 3% difference between the Terror Claw and the Vaal Claw, which was previously not that significant, will all of a sudden be a total deal breaker.

" they are always the lier i think it's kind of jokes of this game they want to be a team of principle (everytime when i see the legacy kaoms and look back to acuity&leech changes) but it's just jokes GGG,why don't u change all legacy kaom's to became 500HP koam's on current serve it's easy to do it don't worry about the owner of thinking. becuz u guys never concern about the owner of COE,acuity, etc... |
