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".

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.

Life Leech is weird

I had a Mace/Claw Duelist that managed to get Claw life leech/gain on hit from my offhand claw when I was using Ground Slam for no clear reason, probably because Ground Slam only uses the main hand weapon and all, but yeah, at least some, if not all, of that life leech can carry across to your mainhand.

And I say had because I died yesterday at lv 49 :/

Did anyone else notice that the dominating blow symbol is on the face of the mace?

So exciting to finally see my unique get into the game, even if it did take 10 months =)

Awesome work guys!

this is ridiculoous for a ci+eva build. Forget dreamfragments

So people were complaining about how the Claw was a bit lackluster, well I came up with a build that may make it work rather well if you dual-wield it.

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBAP0FtQyNDUkOSA6tEHsRLxGWFHUUsBXXFr8XUBjbHRQdyh4aIWAoKii1KNsppSsKLL8wVDB8Mgk67UBVQKBDY0OcRwZMLVFHValWY1j1XvpfamCIYVJmnme9b1dwUnFNdEF08XfXfyuCHoauh9uIQohrjb-PRo_6k_yXtJlXms-boZ2jncSeuZ_LrJisuq7PsbO0xbVItve3Mb46wFHBAMHFwuzDbdDQ14bbGtvn3-_jhOuO7BjtQe5v707z6vVL98H31_rS_Kv_kw==

You would run Blood Rage with this. Dual-wielding the claws alone would give you 18% life leech, add on 4% from talents, you're at 22%. Then depending on the level of your blood rage gem, another 4-6%. So you're going to have 26-28% life leech. Also, you can add on a Life Leech gem to your main attack and get upwards of ~35% life leech. It takes a lot physical damage nodes as well, so you'll be hitting fairly hard. I also bulked it up by taking a lot of armor nodes and going Unwavering Stance + Iron Reflexes. So you shouldn't kill yourself on physical reflect mobs, especially if you've got a granite up.

The build also has a hefty amount of attack speed, so you'll be hitting very quickly and leeching that much more. Especially with the buff to CI, you'll have a rather large ES pool and the immunity to chaos damage will let you itemize differently. As far as the main attack goes, I'm not quite sure what you'd run really. Maybe Frenzy or Dual-Strike?

If you need more defenses, toss up that new shield ability that was introduced that reduces physical damage even further. Maybe with some tweaking and grabbing mana regen nodes, you could build this in such a way that you can keep the new armor buff up 100% of the time without losing mana. You would most likely need to sacrifice some of the +physical damage nodes and crit nodes to achieve this though. Who knows. We'll see Invalesco or Kripp come up with something crazy sooner or later. I feel like these weapons have potential.

There will be alternate 3D art for these as well, though it might take a bit longer for that to be added.

Splendiferous Erik!

I'm going to speak my mind in total honest when I ay this item is absolute bullshit and the developers should be ashamed for okaying a unique like this. Because it dropped on the first day of the new patch, it must be common/uncommon, gives +2 to auras, reduces aura cost by a significant amount AND makes you immune to freeze? And it's on a high base item? What the fuck guys? Are you even sticking to that whole "good rares trump uniques" policy? This is batshit insane; way too good. You will never replace that item once you get it and it's completely broken in combination with certain other aura/mana reserve uniques. It even has +90% evasion rating so it's not like you're giving up that much potential evasion to have all these crazy stats. That right there is the best helm in the game for ANY character bar none.

Totally agree, i'm CI and would gladly sacrifice 1500 ES for that helmet.

Disagree. Armour Helmets can go up to 800ish with Trip Resist and life. Those are amazing stats on this, but I wouldn't choose it over that.
