200% of Life Leech applies to Enemies as Chaos Damage

Hi Community!

My question is askin the mechanic connection between
this three items:

1:The Retch
2:Vessel of Vinktar
3:Atziri's Promise


I leech life with legacy "Vessel of Vinktar".
In discription it is said; "30% of Lightning Damage Leeched as Life during Flask effect".

The Retch got the mechanic that is sayin: "200% of Life Leech applies to Enemies as Chaos Damage".

I do around 60000 lightning damage in ONE attack.
20000 damage is leeched as life with the flask.

Is my calculation right, that I do 40000 Chaos damage in every attack while using "The Retch"?

------------

I also use the flask "Atziri's Promise.
I gain 15% from Elemental Damage as extra Chaos Damge.
Regardin my lightning DMG it must be around 8000.

But it is also said in the discription that I leech 2% of my Chaos dmg as life.
Does this also refer to the Chaos dmg done with "The Retch"?




kind regards and thanks for your help

The chaos damage effect of the retch is, according to the wiki, a type of reflect damage. Thus it cannot be used to leech, can't be increased and can't be reflected.
Thus I'd say
1. Yes
2. No

Yes. Imagine besreker in Cloaked in Savergy mode straight up 200%

You need to be a Slayer with Vaal Pact for this to work otherwise you only do damage based on the actual life healed by leech.

Why would you want to do more damage than monsters life though:D

You misunderstand (or I misunderstood your joke :P) The "actual life" referred to be Zed_ is player Life, not monster Life. I.e. you're at 5400/5500 Life or Energy shield? You can only ever deal 200 chaos damage to the enemy.

Become a Slayer with Endless Hunger? Game doesn't care if you're 5400/5500 or 5500/5500. 2X% of your damage, where X is leech amount, is going to be applied to enemy, no matter what. Well, for Life at least. ES Slayers get kinda shafted, but that's OK because ES is OP right now, right? Is that how balance works nowadays?

Yes, I wrote "actual life healed by leech" which obviously refers to the player not the monster.

I don't think this mechanic cares whether you have ES or life with VP and Endless Hunger, you obviously need GR to leech to your ES, but even if you have CI without GR, you would still deal damage based on your leech, you just wouldn't recover any life or ES since you are at full life (1).
