6 years ago Double check that you're not over your Leech cap. On the Calcs tab, look for the "Leech & Gain on Hit" box.
In this example ( https://pastebin.com/075x8cxg ) with just 0.4% Life Leech from Blood Drinker, and a few Uniques for damage/ES, I have 365.8 ES Leech/On Hit Rate. Taking the Soul Raker node, which gives 1.2% Life Leech "should" give me (365.8 * 3 =) +1097.4 Leech, for a total of 1463.2. However, my Life(/ES) Leech cap is 609 so most of that node, or ALL of the Blood Drinker node, is above my cap and therefore wasted.
You'll have to either get more Energy Shield, or increase your "Maximum Life Leech Rate" from Vitality Void, Hematophagy, both of which are sadly located in the Duelist area, or the Slayer ascendancy Brutal Fervor.
Hello,
it seems that POB doesn't calculate life/ES leech when Chaos Inoculation or Ghost Reaver node are used. Percentages leeched seem to be calculated in the game fine.
When CI or GR nodes are checked, there is no calculation for leech. there is "ES Leech/On Hit Rate" but it doesn't change when adding life leech nodes. In my case "ES Leech/On Hit Rate" is 20% of ES per second.
Not sure if i'm missing something, but I was under impression that Energy Shield recharge rate stat was supposed to be up to 20% of ES. Also, from what I'm understanding, ES leech stat is supposed to be separate from ES recharge rate.
