What's "Health Leech +X%"?

Hello,

I don’t understand and can’t find info about what this stat actually does for example in the void knight starting point “devouring blade”.
Reading the game guide I understand that the “main leech” stat is “[type] damage leeched as life + X%” and that leech rate makes each instance of leech faster. Every research I made only explained those 2 stats.

But for the “Health Leech +X%” I’m stumped. Instinctively i’d say it acts as a multiplier for “damage leeched as life” but the value seems very low for that, as points available either give 0.1% or 0.2%

Thx for the help

It is unconditional generic health leech. It does the same as “Melee damaged leech as health”, but doesn’t specify any damage or skill type.

The Stat you think it is also exists, but that would be “X% increased Health Leech”. An example for that would be the Lich Passive Soul Maw.

Thanks !
