Isnt this impossible?

Shouldnt Hit Life Leech be capped at 50??

Next question: Does anyone want to buy it??

Hehe, no. None of the leeches are capped. You can technically find one with 100% life leech, mana leech, and stamina leech.

Best one I've found is 68% stamnia leech, 81% mana leech, hatchet

The way leeches work has been changed recently. It used to be that the percentage referred to the chance, per hit, that the weapon would leech. If it did leech, it would always leech the same amount. If it didn't leech on that hit, then there was no effect at all. Now, weapons leech on every single hit, and the percentage refers to the amount that is leeched.

Or to make it more clear...

Old system

A weapon with 40% life leech and a weapon with 20% would both give you the same amount of life when their leeching effect activated. But the weapon with 40% would activate twice as often as the one with 20%.

New system

Both the 40% and 20% weapons will leech on every single hit. But the one with 40% will give you twice as much life back as the 20% one.

When this new system was put in place, the 50% cap on leeches was dropped, since the property now means something much different than it used to.

Yep they are both right, now if you would have shown me that a few months ago I would have been like WTF, but with the new System that Grim very accurately described it is possible to now find leeches of any amount above 50.

whenever I get over about 65% on any of them, it seems to make all the other attribute worthless...the best I've found is a 90% mana leech, but it's useless

I'll have to dig through my stash, I think I've found a Hali with 99% Mana leech, 2 other mods, and 30ish DI. Although, I could be wrong.

Hehe, that's why you enhance these items with your blacksmith

Sometimes you can get some KILLER weapons

Hehe, yea, but whatever, it's still worth attempting

So how does that actually work? Is it a base amount or is it 40% of the target's life/mana/endurance that is leeched? I could imagine that a 90% mana leech would be destructive in PvP, since mages kinda rely on that.. A 50% life leech would be destructive on a dexxer too...
