Did an experiment with a 100 life per hit weapon with various skills to see how much benefit each skill gets from the listed value, as a "hit" is a little ambiguous. WIP /tick - per tick, or each time the skill does damage for a Damage Over Time spell. The amount of ticks you get for the duration of the skill is dependent on weapon speed. /enemy - per enemy, for Area of Effect spells. Each enemy hit by the spell is counted. /cast - per cast, generally for multiple projectile spells. This is the total potential the spell can leech assuming every projectile hits something. STACKS - This skill will stack with itself for the DOT portion, thus your spells can overlap and you will get tons of hits. Some spells like poison dart poison damage stack with themselves, but the additional ticks don't count as hits for life gain, so this will only work on skills that count /tick. Primary Skills: Poison Dart - 200% Splinters - 33%/dart (100%/cast) Numbing Dart - 200% Spined Dart - 200% Flaming Dart - 100% Snake to the Face - 200% Corpse Spiders - 16% for each JAR hitting something. Individual spider hits do nothing. Also nothing if you miss with the jar. Unfortunately makes a mediocre spell even crappier... I originally started this because I thought per hit life leech would be great with spiders. Leaping Spiders - 16% Spider Queen - 30%/enemy/tick Widowmakers - 16% Medusa Spiders - 16% Blazing Spiders - Plague of Toads - 66%/toad (200%/cast) Explosive Toads - 66%/toad (200%/cast) Toad of Hugeness - 0% Rain of Toads - 50%/enemy/tick STACKS Addling Toads Toad Affinity Firebomb - 66%/enemy Flash Fire - 20%/bounce (140%/cast) Roll the Bones - 22%/enemy Fire Pit - 66%/enemy/tick STACKS Pyrogeist - 33%/projectile (this thing shoots out a lot of little fireballs, I didn't count them) Ghost Bomb Secondary Skills: Grasp of the Dead - 16.5%/enemy/tick Unbreakable Grasp - 16.5%/enemy/tick Groping Eels - 16.5%/enemy/tick Death Is Life - 16.5%/enemy/tick Desperate Grasp - 16.5%/enemy/tick (probably stacks, but you only get to overlap once, for 2 seconds) Rain of Corpses - Firebats - 16.5%/enemy/tick Dire Bats - 33%/enemy Vampire Bats - 25%/enemy/tick? Plague Bats - 33%+? This one is hard to test because I have very little mana. it does increase the longer you apply it. Hungry Bats - 33%/bat Cloud of Bats Haunt - 100% per target hit and none on the DOT. If it acquires another target after the first one dies, it will count as another hit. Same for all runes - Not confirmed, but very likely Locust Swarm - 33% per target, same as haunt. Each time it spreads it will hit, but no bonus from the DOT. Pestilence - 33% Devouring Swarm Cloud of Insects Diseased Swarm Searing Locusts - 33% Others: Zombie Charger - 50%/enemy Leperous Zombie - 50%/enemy/tick Undeath - 50%/enemy Wave of Zombies - 8%/zombie/enemy/hit - I'm not sure, but it seemed like these guys can hit the same enemy more than once Explosive Beast - 50%/enemy Zombie Bears Post by Elegy Spirit Barrage - 100% Spirit is Willing - 100% Well of Souls - 33% per soul (4 total) Phantasm - 25% per enemy per tick Phlebotomize - 100% Manitou Fetish Army - 0% Fetish Ambush - 40% on cast if it hits a mob (Unsure about this one!) Summon Zombie Dogs - 0% Rabid Dogs - 100% per enemy per tick of the DoT (With a single ZD attacking an enemy, I noticed a 200% tick right after every attack, which may mean the DoTs were overlapping.) STACKS Final Gift - 0% Life Link - 0% Burning Dogs - 100% per enemy per tick of the AoE aura (STACKS per dog) Leeching Beasts - Sacrifice - 33% (per enemy? These were tested on single targets.) Black Blood - 33% (per enemy?) Next of Kin - 33% (per enemy?) Pride - 50% (Glitch? per enemy?) For the Master - ?? (appears to be glitched and healing me for LESS than it should, should have healed for 3x 3154, but only got back 9260) Provoke the Pack Gargantuan - 0% Humongoid - 0% Restless Giant - 0% Wrathful Protector - 0% Big Stinker - 100% per enemy per tick of the AoE aura Bruiser - 0% Wall of Corpses - 16% per enemy per tick Barricade - 20% per tick Unrelenting grip - 16% and 33% per tick Creepers - saw 16% and 33% per tick on the wall, the adds provided no ticks. Pile on - Dead Rush - Acid Cloud - Very tricky and needs a lot more testing! I think the Acid Cloud and Acid Rain might be effected by distance from the center. Appears to be 166% near the middle, down to 16% at the edges Acid Rain - Most ticks around 280% near middle Lob Blob Bomb - Blob ticks around 33% but saw 16% and 50% as well. Slow Burn - Ticks of 16%, 33%, and 50% Kiss of Death - Ticks of 16%, 33%, and 50% Corpse Bomb On Sacrifice - I was getting 16% per enemy On Acid Rain - These numbers are all over the place, but they are always a multiple of 40% for me, so I'm just gonna say the base is 40% and it ticks A LOT faster than other spells. Non Damaging Skills (Soul Harvest, Horrify) - 0%. However, SH runed for damage does get 25% per target up to 5. Note on pets - Zombie dogs and gargantuan hits will not give any life. However, flaming zombie dogs aura is 100% per enemy per tick per dog!! I don't have big stinker yet but I imagine it is the same. Potentially huge, but good luck keeping them alive... vs Life Leech % - Leech % is pretty straight forward. The more damage skill does, the more you will leech. As you can see, some skills benefit much more than others from life per hit (flaming zombie dogs, flash fire), while others benefit more from leech % (spiders, locust swarm), so which to get really depends on your build and what skills you use. Fierce Loyalty - Life on hit does NOT benefit your pets. You will still get the life though Other on hit effects - Flaming Zombie Dogs and Big Stinker WILL proc on hit effects (fear, blind, ect) via their aura, but NOT on their attack. This is pretty awesome, if you manage to get some 10% combined stun/fear/freeze and have 5 aura pets surrounding something that isn't immune, it WILL be more or less permastunned. 05/22/2012 04:27 PMPosted by Eshi actually, yes, I think they do. I have a 1.9% fear on hit helmet and rarely proc'd it until I changed builds using this thread. Now I trigger fear TONS of times, it's ridiculous. I'm going to start loading up on x% on hit enchants.
