Anyone know what the base recovery rate for leeched mana is?

750% of maximum mana per minute (12.5% per second).

Thanks. Sounds like a little extra reason to invest in mana passives, since no amount of leech (short of quality leech gem) will get you mana faster than that cap.

The same goes for life leech, I assume? Time to calculate the amount of leeched life/second I get, and look for some +life passives or item mods if the leech rate is more than 12.5% of my max life.

can we get more detail about how exactly mana leech works?

can you leech on multiple targets for AoE skills?

is leech calculated before or after monster armor mitigation?

how does the quality from mana leech gem affect the 750% cap of your maximum mana leeched back per minute?

Can ice spear potentially pierce in "crit mode" when I add the pierce support gem to it or use projectile weakness?

The spear changes to "crit mode" after travelling a certain distance from your character, losing its native chance to pierce. Adding pierce support and/or projectile weakness would enable the "crit mode" to keep travelling until it failed to pierce, struck an obstacle, or reached the end of its range.

Awesome, thats how I wanted it to work.

Yes

I would say after - eg based on the actual damage the monster takes.

Off the top of my head I can't remember what quality on mana leech gems does.

it states " X % increased mana leech rate", where X is gem quality.

how is that amount multiplied/added to the 750% ?

thanks for answer

I guess this makes a 20% quality mana leech gem pretty much a must for a lot of classes

Also got another Q:

What is the maximum % damage reduction incurred for the keystone Point blank archer when hitting far away targets?
