[Not a Bug] Cospri's Malice Failing to Leech

Discharge's damage is highly inconsistent. Why not try another cold spell and test? I used vortex and cleared several maps with ease. I don't even have VP.

Anyway, I will keep testing.

I'm using a lvl 21 Discharge gem with ~75k average damage, while the damage is inconsistent you cannot tell me that I should be leeching only 10-20es per discharge

Someone do this test for me.


Voll's Protector: Cyclone - Cast On Crit - Discharge - Additional Accuracy - Crit Chance - Life leech
Keep your Cospris Equipped.

Then Try the same thing but take Discharge + CoC out of Voll's and dont add anything back so the gems are the same and put Discharge + Life Leech + Crit Chance in Cospris so it's the same links as the previous test on Discharge and see if leech works better outside of Cospris.

If we can assure it is Cospris that is bugged it makes this alot easier

Will do it. And test some regular spells like ice nova. Do you know a high level map boss without ads around? All out of sac/mortal sets..

discharge's tooltip already shows the trigger penalty. I was wrong on this matter.
I have 2 sac sets if you need.

Daresso in Colosseum has no ads I believe

edit: continuing to record looking for another instance of no leech as essence mobs are confirmed to be leech proof.

No, only Remnant of Corruption and essences it is applied on was claimed to be leech proof, so that's one problem right there.

It could be Elemental Equilibrium mucking things up.

Perhaps EE isn't resetting values of resistances correctly?
It could also be a lack of flat physical damage?

It's probably something small to do with how things interact with cospri's.


Anyway, when we find the bug again we need to note the skills the character was using at the time, the item set up, tree and probably rather importantly, the map/area and the monster it was attacking - because it isn't an issue with the leech functions apparently. >.<

didn't have EE on at the time making this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VuSE_DVSt4
so that I didn't kill as fast. Don't believe it is EE causing the issue. I am leeching some in above video but if you watch it's highly inconsistent and super low amounts most of the time.

played around with a lvl 19 Ice nova, leech still seemed highly ineffective with that.

@Mark thanks for having a look at it. With all due respect I don't understand how you can claim the leeching numbers are proper. Have you seen vidoes posted by many people here in the topic, like one with Atziri dying without single leech? Do you still think it's ok to not leech anything there? How can you paly any melee build like that? Nobody is making up those videos in any studio, no reason for that. How are you checking those numbers, on testing realm? from debugger/logger? since those videos from live realms should be enough to prove that there is something wrong. Maybe it's caused by the changes to CoC mechanism, not necessarily Cospri's Malice item.

I'm a software engineer as well and I understand your stand from the source code point of view. However, being open-minded and having seen those videos you can't deny there's something wrong.

As comparison take a look at any blade vortex build, would they be able to play BV if they leech the same way we do here? No way, look at them how they insta leech missing ES/Life when they encounter any boss in the game. Otherwise the topic would have had 1k pages already.

on Plaza Boss leech works fine - i've done it with leech gem in sword and assassins mark and without adds near me. also i can stand in the green circle and leech trough.

Argus in uber lab is no problem too BUT it feels sometime inconsistent.
