Playing through as a mosaic sin, I've noticed some targets don't allow leech from cobra strike. This seems to be the exception to the rule though as about 90% of mobs do.

Is there a comprehensive list of monsters that can't be leeched from using cobra strike somewhere? Hell at this point I'll even accept personal anecdotes.

For clarification, I don't think this is an 'undead-not-leeching mechanism, as every mob in the chaos sanctuary allows leeching from cobra strike.

How about ” Undeads ” ?

I'm going to refer you to the bottom line of my post. Every mob is leechable, so the list is most certainly not "undeads".

But how about ” Undead ” ?

You can’t leech from physical immunes aswell

ghosts and skeletons you cant leech from.

Are Soul-variant mobs the only actually "ghosts" then? Cobra strike leeches off of the stangler-variant mob (A1 Tower, A2 Arcance, A4 river/sanc, etc)



Yeah I've noticed that with random champion packs that spawn phys immune and the A5 deathlord/moonlord mob that is naturally phys immune.

maybe a physical sunder helps out.. the 5% may be enough for a high leech level but you char loose phys res too (not good on hc).
To be safe on HC you can always go with draculs instead of +skills gloves. The lifetap proc always works but you loos a bit of dmg

Hey guys. I have same problem and I found when stops leeching. When I charge Phoenix strike ... my assassin continue leeching, after I charge claws of thunder ... it leeches and feet me to max life and mana ... and right after I charge Fists of fire it stops and cannot leech anymore.
I test is several times and Fists of fire stops my leeching life and mana. Please try it I am sure that if u not charge FIRE skill u will leech from almost all monsters may be 90-95 of mops u can leech from...but when you charge Fists of Fire you will not be able to leech anymore.

#1: every single monster type has a mod called "drain effectiveness", monsters with 0 drain (ie. no leech) listed here:

rule of thumb: you can leech from anything that has flesh. mummies are fine, skeletons and constructs are not

#2: fists of fire convert physical dmg of finishing move to fire dmg. since leech works based on phys dmg, a full conversion (fists of fire @ lvl34+) means no leech
