How Energy Leech Support Works?

I started to think about it because the -leech- parameter doesn't seem to work at all.

Fully upgraded (20 level, 20 quality) gem should give:
Supported Skills deal 10% increased Damage while Leeching Energy Shield
Supported Skills have 1.9% of Damage Leeched as Energy Shield
Supported Skills deal 14% more Damage while on Full Energy Shield
Supported Skills deal 24% more Damage while Leeching Energy Shield

According to the logic, it should leech 1.9% of dmg towards the energy shield, i.e. in the case of ~60k dps it should give about ~1200 energy in every second. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work that way. The leeching doesn't seem to work at all. When we receiving damage and the energy shield value has decreased - energy shield is not regenerated by leaching. Why? That's how leaching would make sense. This is how the leaching of life works. This is how "leeching" works in every single game.

However in POE, there is a contradiction in how energy leeching works with the energy recharge rate, and also with the Faster Start of recharge energy shield parameter... where all 3 should influence each other. However, again - it doesn't work. But it should... leeching should imidietly start regenerating of energy shield... moreover - being accelerated by energy shield recharge rate. Why it does not work like this?

If it doesn't work that way, it doesn't make sense.
If leeching doesn't instantly regenerate energy shield by 1.9% of the given damage from the moments of making that dmg - it shouldn't be called a "leech" at all.
If, on the other hand, leaching (maybe) is to speed up the start of energy shield regeneration, then that's what it should be called... but it's not. So it seems that the parameter "Supported Skills have 1.9% of Damage Leeched as Energy Shield" doesn't work at all.

leech works for the amount of damage the monster is taken. if the monster have some fire res and u deal 60k fire damage, u leech less, cause the amount of damage the monster is taken is lower than 60k.
dot damage doesnt leech and leech from minions and totems doesnt give u leech.

its easier to say, if u post a pob link or a build, to see the problem.

How do you know it? Is it somehow verificable?

It make no sens. We can not verify what def, res etc. monster might have. So leach paramter should base on dmg given. Moreover if you have the right - what sens have constant energy shield leech parameter in character screen? If leech value depend on monster ~defence, why energy shield leech parameter is constant and why this parameter have nothing to do with damage value that we are giving in specific moment?

Even https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Leech_Support not explaining how this game is working.

u can read the poewiki: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Leech

it makes sense, cause otherwise u can heal yourself to full health with one hit.

i think the problem is, u dont deal enough damage. map mods also affect the monster, like monsters take reduced damage etc.

use poewiki.net

In that way how me may know what leeching value should be if dmg taken by monsters is unknown. We do not even know what is theirs life, def, resistance etc. How we may know it devs are not cheating us?

But by playing I have not noticed any changes from my leeching at all.
1. I'm taking damages.
2. My shield is going down.
3. I'm giving damages.
3. Shield is not leeched.
4. Shield is regenerating after 2 sec like https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_shield describing it and it is like that it is only using paramter "faster start recharge energy shield" and "energy shield recharge rate" but not leeching at all.

i cant say whats wrong, if u dont post any information.

make ur characters public or post pob-link.

pob is path of building tool to plan builds

My character is not hidden. Is public.

u cannot leech with totems, ur totems getting the leech.

only chieftain can leech from totems afaik with the passive:

Tukohama, War's Herald:

2% of Damage dealt by your Totems is Leeched to you as Life
Ancestor Totems have 100% increased Activation range
100% increased Effect of Buffs granted by your Active Ancestor Totems

Your Energy leech support is linked to holy flame totem, so ofcource your not getting any energy shiled back as your not doing any damage that can leech, your totem is.

And if you want leech 1200 es per second you need to have 12000 es or get extra % for maximum leech per second. (base max is 10% of your es)
