Does it?

I don't see why it wouldn't ?

Not quite like it used to, it's severely reduced, if you're not counting lifetap. Back in .09, Leech was absurdly op, and melee duels could go on for a very long time, since everyone stacked it and would heal constantly.

also i think its considerd BM but not 100% sure on that

Not really, without life tap, when i say severely, i mean SEVERELY. it barely does anything. With life tap..well, you all know how life tap works.

u cant leech of players only monsters

On a very brief skim of the details it seems that possibly life leech in PvP suffers a double penalty: the usual 1/6 PvP reduction and then a further reduction to 17% effectiveness. This seems plausible based on experience but we would have to wait for Eywa for confirmation.

I ran some numbers on this a long time ago and found that leech runs through the penalty twice. A large part of me thinks this was unintended programming from 1.09 to 1.10 that never got fixed because the original team left.

Yes you can.



Yes it is severe on another level.

It is so drawn back that players do not even think about it in pvp.

Thanks, Djsem's opinion is 100% final for me.
