Chayula Sap of Nightmares

Sap of Nightmares ascendancy "Leech recovers based on Chaos damage as well as Physcial damage" doesn't work with quarterstaff suffixes "Leeches x% of Physical damage as life/mana".

I had leech on my ring, but when I swapped ring and left leech only on my weapon, it stopped leeching.

Does not account for weapon leech and life leech does not leech from chaos.
Bump.

Sap of Nightmares is a completely useless node, as it does not allow life leech at all. This is a huge issue and single-handedly makes Acolyte of Chayula a useless ascendancy since there is no reason to focus on chaos damage over lightning or cold damage without the ability to leech. The Sap of Nightmares node synergizes with 3 of the 5 other paths in the ascendancy which all grant chaos damage. If the ascendancy is focused on chaos damage, the node which allows leeching based on chaos damage should function.

There is literally no reason to go Acolyte of Chayula over Invoker without the node which makes chaos damage worth focusing.
With regards to the detailed Skill Sheet, Sap of Nightmares appears to ignore Life Leech entirely, as well as all Explicit Mod sources of Leech from weapons and gloves.

I haven't yet tested Leech sourced from a corrupted amulet enchantment.
