Over leech question

I tried putting all my gear that's on Assassin on a Slayer just to try it, and that over leech feels like cheating

Is there any way, through gear, jewels, or anything else, that over leech can be mimicked on a different Ascendancy other than Slayer?

Ghost Dance notable can be used for psuedo-over leech for ES.

TLDR: having your evasion slightly lower than your max ES, causes your ES to never reach full. Because if this, the leech effect is continuous.


Or play a different dualist ascendancy and take forbidden flesh/forbidden flame Brutal Fervor, and just have the same effect as slayer.

There are, not sure any will fit with what you are doing, but these do give the overleech:

Gloves.

Immortal ambition keystone.

Petrified blood gives overleech, but requires you to have unreserved life missing above your low life threshold, so you would be on half-life, if your lowlife value is not increased by some other method.

Forbidden jewels can get the ascendance, but only on duelist.

This may not be an exhaustive list, there are methods for over leech on ES as well.

Given that I'm a life based self cast Assassin, it seems my only viable option would be the gloves, at a 50% reduction in effectiveness

Also given that I have 15 power and 15 frenzy charges, it's tough to give up my gloves. I'll give them a try, but Slayer may just be the only viable option

Thanks

Would the keystone work? What ES do you have and are you using a different jewel keystone already? (Took a look, assuming you don't want to drop inner conviction, so yeah probably not great options. Soul tether is another option, but you won't drop mage blood, basically your build is pretty optimised, you wont want to change the items.)
