If you actually one-shot yourself, instant life leech wouldn't fix that. You'd still take your entire hp globe in damage and be dead before life leech could apply. This isn't mtg.

Secondly - No matter what your build is, you want to maximize the damage it deals. No one wants to create a character that's painful to clear with. Furthermore, no one would want to group with a character that can't deal damage. Why would I want you in my run if you will give my enemies 50% more health and you don't do damage?

This is an interesting item, but at level 62 it's horrible unless the damage scales better.

Actually, instant leech would save you. Once you have a high leech, the reflect aura would have to be more than your leech for you to even feel it. If you deal 10k, and the reflect aura is 40%, and you leech back 40%, your life won't flinch. You'll deal 10k, leech back 4k, and take 4k as well. In other words, 0 dmg.

The reflect aura would have to be substantially more than the leech % when it's instant. That's why instant leech is very strong. If you're physical based, and your physical leech is high enough, it's almost impossible to kill yourself on physical reflect, because as long as you aren't running around with 2k hp and 24k dmg (glass cannon), you won't have trouble with reflect at all.

Vaal pact would be broken and mandatory for any leech build, only thing stopping it from being godlike is that you can't use life flask. This is practically vaal pact, but with no kicker.

As a claw user, I'm REALLY pissed with the new claw, it's not an improvement over around 99% of decent end game claws apart from the Vaal Pact, but if you're a claw user, you probably already have it or plan on taking it. Well at least it's somewhat decent life leech, but seeing as rangers have such items as Lioneye's Glare, and this was supposed to be our "Lioneye's Glare", I kinda feel sad.

anger leads to sadness.

Melee AoE does lesser physical damage, that claw has low dps, I doubt I'd be using it on anyone if I got it.

Nice one !

9% (maybe more) leech instantly? If you find one, I'll pay you double what the vendor offers.

edit: Dual wielding these with Dual Strike, Life Leech gem, Blood Rage, Warlord's Mark, and Blood Drinker node gives 41%+ Life Leech instantly. Could be quite fun.

The life leech is "from this weapon".

It does NOT give you the same thing as vaals pact or w/e its called, only the 9% (if that) on the weapon itself counts for instant life leech, not other sources.

No, it's "Life Leech from HITS with This Weapon". In other words, it's not the greatest offhand weapon since only half of your damage will actually get instant leech, but it scales greatly with other lifeleech sources.

Um, also the reduced mana reserved isnt for just the gems in that helm its for all your auras. and i know i run like 6 7 auras on my guys.

It'll most likely stack with prism guard shield as well for auras in that shield, which is all additive with the reserved nodes. With reduced mana and two 40% auras you could get them down to 25% total health, pretty nice really.
