Lifeleech and manaleech?

How does lifeleech and manaleech work?

 

[Shade]

They give you back a percentage of the physical damage you deal as life/mana.

Say you had 4% Life Stolen per hit and 8% Mana Stolen per hit, and you deal 100 physical damage to an enemy (after all damage enhancements, resistances, etc.). You'd regain 4 points of life and 8 points of mana.

The amount stolen is reduced to 2/3 in Nightmare and 1/3 in Hell.

So is it
1. Won't get you extra damage dealt
2. unrelated to monster's hit point?

 

[Shade]

1. It doesn't increase your damage.
2. The monster's HP has no effect on it.

In NM the amount of life stolen is 1/2, not 2/3rd. It's the amount of leech that gets halved, so if you have 3% life leech in normal, you'd have 1% life leech in NM, because of truncating.

It's related to monster HP, because you can't leech more than the current amount of life on a monster.

Hmm ... Sorry RTB but isn’t this obvious, if he has 0 HP, he is dead and there is 0 leeching, or maybe I misunderstood you?

Kinda...

If a monster has 90 life left and you hit him for 100, you only have 90 effective dmg. That's what I meant.
