So is it still the case that Mind Drinker doesn't work with EK?

I've seen people say "no because it's not an attack". That's a silly reason/response to me. It's obviously an attack. It's projectile physical.

If the Life Drinker node is only supposed to work with melee physical then it should say so.

Does it work with bows physical damage? If so then I would say it should also work with EK.

what about the +% physical implicit belt, does it apply to our EKs damage?

Yeah, and it's Spell damage, not Weapon damage. Hence, it's a Spell, not an Attack.

Whether it's Physical, Projectile, Fire, AoE or whatever has nothing to do with it being a Spell or an Attack. What matters is whether it deals damage based on the weapon you're using or not. If it does, it's an Attack. If it does not, it is either a Spell or it's neither (and to determine the difference there, look at whether Spell Damage applies or not).

I understand the mechanic, but I just don't like it. I would be more sympathetic if it was elemental damage, but its not. It's blades shooting out doing physical projectile damage.

I guess all EK builds are mean to be mana starved early game.

Also,


at·tack [uh-tak]
verb (used with object)
1.to set upon in a forceful, violent, hostile, or aggressive way, with or without a weapon; begin fighting with: He attacked him with his bare hands.

So I say again if they want it to only apply to weapon attacks it should say so.

bah what do I care, I've already wasted 25 regrets because of ambiguous tool tips.

SKILL DOES TOO MUCH DAMAGE. LOWER DAMAGE.

Abuse it while you can. This spell is more broken than Freezing Pulse.
