Leech Length Nerf
Previously, there was no upper limit on how much an individual leech effect could restore. This meant that a very high damage hit with enough leech could last minutes, if not longer, if you had an effect letting your leech remain on full life. Now, there is a limit of 10% restored per leech effect, so each individual leech effect can't last more than 5 seconds. For the Ascendant's Slayer Passive Skill, this is 5% lower.

Thanks for killing Slayer!
As if he wasnt one of the most underpicked classes already...

You guys, both the whole dev team and decision makers, are utterly disgusting. We spend time to study the leech mechanism and carefully build around it, spend hundreds of hours farming for currency to get some good leech items.
And on one fine day you guys decided to nerf it.
What rules did we violated?
We've been playing BASED ON THE RULES YOU SET, and for no obvious reason now you decided to nerf it????
Pieces of garbage. I will not spend a single cent more on this game.

Leech is not so complicated like immunity. After the flasks nerfs, empyrian found a way to be complete immun against damage

I think everybody knows this video...immunity with 0% ele resistances
THATS "study the game", theorycrafting ... and now the "Gluttony of Ele." nerf. I´m glad he will find a new way to be immun against dmg.

Shit overleech or Crit nerfs and so one...that are changes we will manage
I´m sure thats not so a big problem. I´m not a genius but we are not stupid!!

I dont really like the crit changes...0% is not good for EO and not much player will be 100%.

Just think 5mn.
No one cares of EO if not having a high crit chance, so for EO 0% or 5% does not matter at all.
On the other hand, someone using EO will focus on crit, so in the worst case this changes nothing, for the few maxing out crit, this is a buff.

This change can be discussed, but EO is all but an argument to conclude it's a nerF.

F all these. I'm gonna play normal/default left-click attack build.

Hype hype hype hype, cant wait already

I wrote "in the early game" ... for example:
Arc and contr.destr. will never prog EO bevore u have no crit.chance nodes or items...later in the game is not so bad, there your right. But the first few lvl CAN!! be a little bit different now.
And i dont know if 100% instead of 95% is so much different like the 0% to 5% ... my opinion ... anyway
sorry for my bad english

CI is immunity. 100% rez doesn't make you immune, ask Shaper penetrating poor exile with blue balls.

...was that how you wanted to say that? :D

My one character is a CI/ES fireball handcaster, so I'm kind of excited for these changes.

woah

Finally some ES leech sources

Question: Is vaal pact being changed again then? Or will you be able to stack ghost reaver with vaal pact for 4x ES leech rate?
