POE 2 bloodmage - spell leech not working

Not working for me too. Fix this please. It not funny

So this still isn't working. Also, I don't understand why they put the first Blood Witch node where it is. It completely bricked my build for awhile and had to literally buy gear just to cast spells and the node hurts more than anything.

Then I finally get second ascendancy and LEECH DOESN'T even work!?!?

God damn.

It is a hard class to play, that is don't see the point of having any points in asendencies. Which is a shame because I like all the nodes except the first one.

Like why am I paying life and mana and 100% on both. Feels like it should be just blood, or why not 50% each? The life remnants don't last long enough, feels like it should be a permanent buff until you port or last twice as long.

I don't know if leech is bugged but man, it sucks. Make it instant so it can be felt as there is no effective way to improve leech as it is on the other side on the tree.

I get what they want to do with the class but damn it just doesn't work, not in it's current state. Rerolling sorc, as I love the spells.

A few things that need to be fixed or looked at imo.

Dropped blood seems to despawn little to quickly, esp for an ascended that require health to cast spells.

It doesnt make sense to have full health and mana costs for spells. If u gonna have the full cost it should only be a life cost to cast spells and no mana at all.

If you gonna have both, at least 50/50 split would make sense. I dont mind either or. If u do full spellcost as life, at least then one could try to build so mana getting drained first on hits to balance it.

Life leech either seems not to work or is so incredibly small that it does not matter. If it is life leech resistance on mobs it should be removed and places as a possible modifier on magic/rares not a standard thing across all.

Either the crit damage per 40hp is bugged or the UI is. I need to do more testing.

Can we please have an official reply from GGG on this matter?

All the top bloodmages are basically unascended as the ascendancypoints are so bad.

Just bumping it here because bloodmage is for sure a nice idea, but if you feel like your ascendancy is a downside and you think of unspeccing it everytime you have long boss fights then for sure something is made wrong.

If 10% spell leech would've leech at lesst 2% of damage it would fix it.

But right now my frost bomb that deals according to tooltip ~3k dmg and 65% cold pen at top of it leeches me 20hp back then how can even sustain the costs of the skill itself when I spent 100hp to even cast it?
It literally feels like its 1% or even 0.5%.

And whoever thought about "monster leech resitances" makes the game overly complicated and unpredictable for us as we dont know ANY OF THOSE STATS. If Im a new player I see I deal 10k dmg to boss I would expect to leech 1k life back. There shouldnt be hidden variables that we cant even check and it all makes the whole experience miserable and frustrating

bump bump bump

Literally had problems with bosses on my lvl 52 bloodmage, then completely dropped ascendancy points and did beat 2 next ones no issues. It's broken AF

been playing since release and picked my class and ascendency around what was presented pre-release. just finished my second set of points with excitement as the witch's leech would have "fixed" my build. come to find its non functional. at this point my ascendency is a cripple. can someone from ggg please look into this?

The ascendancy idea is so, so cool! Unfortunately it's secretly the negative ascended class. Went in blind and finally got everything together, was getting excited to reach maps and start blasting only to find out something's not quite right here.... Why am I having a harder time now than before? Leech ain't working?? Relent to the googling and see what others are saying. Feels extra bad because of how expensive the respec gold costs are. Went to blood magic, insta death. Can't even clear half a zone before running to town. So now I'm in limbo, do I respec again and play a fake sorc, invest in mana regen like everyone and their mom? Or wait and pray for a swift fix to realize my blood sucking fantasy.


Leech doesn't work, base class is better.


Guess these vamps went vegan...
