What does new life leech mean for you? Analysis and Discussion
|
Well, this life leech change has completely boned 99% of self casters.
Any chance this can somehow be fixed for casters? Also, with vaal pact. Let's say you deal 5000 damage per target. If you leech 8.8%, you get 176 life. If it is a reflect map with 81% resists (level 20 purity, elemental adaptation) you reduce the reflect to 171 damage. For a net gain of 5 hp per attack. This is so broken. There is no way to sustain anymore. Lets make this "Path of Trappers and very fast attackers for LGoH" |

" How did you get 171? Shouldn't the Reflect damage be 142? (5000 * .19 * .15) Edit: Ah, nvm, you meant Map Reflect, I was thinking the Mob Mod Reflect.. >_< But Double Reflect would be, pretty much, impossible to sustain against. :S EA IGN: We_Have_Monk_at_Home *Burnt out and waiting for either PoE1 League or new PoE2 Classes.* Last edited by Sheriff_K#3938 on Mar 6, 2014, 11:35:50 AM

It wouldnt exactly be impossible. If you use FP, a sapphire flask would then give you 91% cold res. And then you would only take 148.5 damage. However, you cannot assume your sapphire will be up for the entire map on a reflect map. I guess I'll have to bring like 3 sapphires in haha.
Looks like I need to get cold leeched as life on all my gear! Last edited by Mavada#3024 on Mar 6, 2014, 11:40:59 AM

What do you think?
AOE Attacks LGOH - gmp-chain-wed builds work better now with LGOH LL - AOE tends to be lower damage and higher mana cost. Only factors one leech from the top projectile damage out of the whole lot. (This is the point where mana is not sustainable, and the bottleneck starts to show.) Single Target Attacks LGOH - not ideal, since 1 hit steals like 30ish life. LL - Ideal if your single target hits hard. You probably can easily heal for the max 20% of life. DOTS = Life Regen or flasking |
|
" I plan on running Taryn's. Unless I have a 2nd one. That still does not fix the issue of life leeching being god awful for casters. |
|
" I was running a fast-attacker with LGoH and he's at the bottom of the ocean now. Because fast attacks go through mana at an ungodly rate, now that mana leech is dead this is only viable with blood magic. So that's fine for everyone with 5 links but for the rest of us (bearing in mind I already rolled another character through to merciless for resources and it wasn't enough) that character's impossible now. Help us out GGG - I'm grateful that you added new stuff but I can't play any of it!!! |

Hi
TRAPPERS FTW LGOH with viper strike melee splash is great if used on a BM high life regen character. Life leech now is stupid and mana leech don't get me started... cheers Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
