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

You can try to imagine how frustrating it is by having a second thought about combination of CI/LL melee build (it is essentially melee) without leech. How are you supposed to regen? There's no ES flask like you do have for life. You're left with ES regen and recharge only as a melee build, not range build. Howd does that sound? Madness.

If there's anybody else out there that thinks it works, then go ahead and play any single other build, melee, physical, elemental, spell whatever and put LL gem into your links and see how you restore your life/es. If that is not ultimate proof then I don't know what it is. You don't really have to reverse engineer the code, even if you would be able to do that, you don't really need any sort of science evidence, it just does not work.

talked with Chris, this is what he had to say, trying to clarify about the "curse reduction" though, does Lifeleech gem count as a curse?

i'm pretty sure they tested it on bosse with adds!


and why he respond on reddit rather rather than his own forum ?

I made a lacerate build with this, but it was inferior to discharge in every way. With discharge or vortex in cospri, one has to be melee. Any melee build without leech is a doomed fiasco.

We are lot of players having the same problem, they are vids that prove it, and they say that we are all wrong, lol.

Entire conversation so far.
trying to explain it the best I can.


Also I was just fighting a rare essence mob without "cannot be leeched" mod with both life leech AND warlord's mark and still was unable to leech from it.

The team is wrong. Put on best gear you can and show me leeching out of Cospri on atziri (or other boss) with life leech alone or warlords alone. Does not happen. Spent hours testing. What does work is LL and warlords.

Proof 54-95K Damage discharge

2% Life Leech alone no leech should leech ~1000-2000

2% Warlords alone no leech should leech ~1000-2000

Warlords and Life Leech healing for 4% thousands per discharge

Same for me.. running a berserker to skip life leech gems with dual cospri's setup. Die on t4 bosses.. no leech at all.. and definitely no 100 percent leech from a savage hit ascendancy. This sucks. It's clear as can be. Someone is blowing smoke. Its not difficult to duplicate the problem and at this point there are probably 100 experienced players saying hey GGG its broken. Go play my character and fight a boss, literally any boss, the rhoa.. strand.. these are low tier maps and i'm dying with 8k es and 5 cold spells spamming. Just like the previous poster stated if i don't run around and wait to recharge im dead. Build killer for sure!

(Edit) Also, on a side note it doesn't happen all the time. It is inconsistent. Happens in parties more than solo i'm thinkin. GGG, please spend more than 5 minutes testing and it will present itself. I promise.

It would be very nice if they just explain as detailed as you why they think that is working fine, after watching the vids, here in the forum, not in other place.

it's bugged. Both life leech work if you use LL gem and warlords tho. my advice turn on warlords mark.

not always. just ran up against a t14 essence mob, didn't have any mods affecting leech and was definitely not leeching (running both warlord's and leech gem) I am however on to something, trying to find the best way to test it out. I'm thinking that possibly the skill channeling changes may be affecting the leech? I could have sworn I wasn't leeching from something and ended cyclone but clicked it again and I leeched. maybe the new challening mechanic is considering cyclone as a channeled skill?

Edit: After testing a bit more this does not seem to be the case. I'm stumped.
