Mate I would recommend life on hit rather than life leech in supporting your ground slam, makes a hell of a difference.

Thanks for your suggestion :) but life leech is giving me a lot of more life back than life gain on hit. Life leech (gem level 17; 6% LL) gives me 154 life back (6% of my 2569 damage groundslam = 154) and life gain on hit gives me only 38 life back.

38 but every target hit ... so if you use ground slam on 4+ targets its gonna be more hp, and the skill is aoe, isnt it? ;]

But with lifeleech every target hits too no? So if I hit 4 monsters I would get 616 (154x4) life leech no? Or does I get only 154 life even if I hit 4 monsters? Same for hitting 7 or 8 monsters?

you cant exceed 20% life leech of your max life, so if you have 3k hp you can max leech 600 hp per second, so even if you do 10k dmg with 6% life leech but you have 2k hp then sorry, but you will regain only 400 in first second and 200 in second.
life gain on hit doesnt have such limits, if you hit 10 mobs you get flat 380hp (with your gem lvl atm), but depending on your attack speed, you can hit more often than each second (my ground slam has 0,55sec cast time, so almost 2 casts per sec), so it may be better than leech life

OP gave formula how to count it in 1st post in skill gems section



anyway, can you evaluate my 2h



should i keep it and try 4l or sell and get smth better? currently using geofris, but gonna change that soon

Sorry I can't follow you aynmore. I didn't know that the life leeched can't exceed 20% the max of my life. Where did you read that? And why give the first hit 400 and the second 200?

I calculated the formula
My ground slam does: 2569 damage
1. Lifeleech: 2569 x 6% = 154,14
2: 36:2,00(atckspeed) x 0,7 = 12,6
3. So the lifeleech is by far higher than my Life gain on hit :/

The difference is huge, I think im doing the formula wrong no? :)

And I've found this here from the build maker "After you reach ~1000 dps you can safely swap "Life Gain on Hit" to "Life Leech".

Here. http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Life#Life_Leech and http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Life_Leech.

I think what he's trying to say is that if you leech 600 dmg, given the amount of HP he used to calculate it you can only leech up to 20% in the first second, with the balance being added after that.

"

If you have 1000 maximum life, and leech 600 life with a single attack, it will take three seconds for that life to be applied to your current life. You always get the full amount of life leeched, it is only the rate at which it regenerates that is capped - if you leech a large amount of life during a battle, you may find that the regeneration continues long after the battle is over.

Hope that helps clarify.

erm, yes, you can heal for max 20% of your total life each second, so if you leech more life than that 20% it will be 'regenerated' in next seconds, so if you do a lot of dmg and you get a lot of dmg, you can see life regenerating from life leech after fight ended even when you didnt use potions

The only way life on hit is better is for physical reflect packs. Other than that life leech is the clear winner.

Don’t get Armor Nodes and Elemental Adaptation by 60th level! You won’t see any effects before!

Stated in the first "spoiler"

Does "by 60th level!" translate to "BEFORE 60th level"

Wording is confusing

yes, take it around 60lvl, earlier its pontiless
