Hi there.
I am playing on a Level 56 Mage/Sorcerer. As it seems, i cant leech Health via Spell Damage, despite having both Passive Nodes “Lavamancer” and “Chill to the Bone” taken. I use Fireball as a Spamspell and Volcanic Orb skilled as “Frozen Orb” for most of my damage. But neither of those two spells grant me any leech.
Some Infos about my Character:
Passives taken on Mage Tree:
- 3/8 Arcanist
- 8/8 Elementalist
- 2/8 Scholar
- 3/5 Arcane Flames
- 10/10 Knowledge of Destruction
- 5/5 Ice and Fire
Passives taken on the Sorcerer Tree:
- 8/8 Calculated Destruction
- 8/8 Brainstorm
- 2/8 Pyromancer
- 5/5 Lavamaner
- 8/8 Cryomancer
- 5/5 Chill to the Bone
- 1/8 Warder
- 2/8 Chronomancy
Then i took the following Nodes on Fireball Skill Tree:
- 3/4 Winged Fire
- 1/1 Fire Spray
- 1/1 Embers
- 2/2 Dancing Fire
- 2/4 Piercing Heat
- 2/7 Immolated Core
- 2/4 Adept
- 3/3 Mana Sphere
- 3/6 Conflagration
- 1/4 Burning Wounds
And the following Nodes on the Volcanic Orb Skill Tree:
- 1/1 Frozen Orb
- 3/5 Volatile Emission
- 3/5 Ash Pelting
- 3/8 Eruption
- 4/4 Dense Orb
- 1/1 Orb of Speed
- 1/3 Pyroclastic Speed
- 2/4 Volcanic Acceleration
- 2/7 Molten Core
Uniques equipped:
- Calamity - Head
- Rahyeh’s Light - Shield
- Isadora’s Tomb Binding - Belt
on all other slots, i just have random rares thrown together with spell dmg and protection affixes etc. nothing outstanding really. I dont think i need to go in detail here about them, do i?
Encountering this behaviour in all aspects of the game, Monolith, Arena and open World, so it seems to be a global issue. Since i “only” hit for like 1k crits at the moment, the leech is very little, so i can’t really tell if its working as intented or not in general, since i also have base hp regen of 26 or so. BUT: You can see it clearly, when equipping Titan Heart. Devs confirmed, that Titan Heart should not affect Leech, only HP regen. But while equipped, you dont regen or leech any hp ever. only way to get hp back is potions. you can test that very easily by taking a bit dmg, teleporting away and then spam your skills while not taking dmg. HP stays the same forever until taking dmg or using a potion. So IF Titan Heart is working as intented, thats proof, that Spell Dmg Leech is not working right now, at least for me on this character.
Since i’m pretty sure, my hardware does not have to do anything with this kind of “bug”, i dont need to post my system specs here i guess
