Blood mage Crit Ascendancy doesnt work.

node for increasing crit damage for 40 hp does not work. It simply does not add any stats.

I have 190% from the passive tree, I take a ascendancy node for 1% crit damage for 40%, still 190% ;)

up

I just notice that. ggg need to fix that.

Please fix. Also the spell vamp doesnt work for contagion or essence drain not sure about other spells as I unallocated it

Essence Drain isn't a spell; it's classified as a projectile. Contagion is a spell, but not the DoT after; you're only leeching X% of the initial base damage of what, like 26? That's 2-3 hp per cast so you'd never notice.

This really doesn't matter, since half of the notables and gear don't contribute to the list. (In my opinion the UI is awful and fudged behind too many different keys and tabs compared to the first game... just C...)

What happens to your dps testing on a control mob with it allocated vs unallocated? Any difference? Hesitant to even bother with allocating ascendency stuff since at best... it's lukewarm, and at worst might not work.

So im assuming you typed something wrong. You cant say something like "This isnt a spell its a projectile"

I believe in poe 2 there are 4 different type of gems.

Buff/Minion/Attack/Spell

A minion can have a projectile ability or tag. Looking at you skeleton archer..

An Attack can have a projectile as most do.

And also a spell can have a projectile.

The dot should work as in poe 1 spell leech worked on things like soulrends DOT. Im saying that with about 3k hours on a build that I made and utilized. So my complaint stands in my previous post.

Blackarm is indeed wrong about Essence Drain not being a spell, but you're also wrong about Spell Leech applying to DoT.

Spell Leech has always been an on-hit effect, so it does not apply to DoTs. Soulrend also has hit damage, which can leech. In PoE1, Essence Drain has a hit component that can leech, and an effect to regenerate life based on the DoT's outgoing damage (unaffected by modifiers to enemy's chaos damage taken, like chaos resistance or wither), but the DoT itself cannot leech.

Part of the issue in PoE2 is leech resistance: I'm not sure if it's been quantified, but it reduces the amount of life you recover from each leech. To test whether the spell leech is working, it's more effective to use monsters early in act 1. They have lower leech resistance because they're low level.

While leech was buffed in 0.1.0d, I'm not sure where it sits now. Here's an example from before 0.1.0d that shows how bad it was then.
