Life Leech and Max Damage

[Darker Realm]

How is life leech calculated? Is the amount of life given by the amount of damage done, the amount of life the monster has, or the amount of life the player has multiplied by drain effectiveness (e.g. Undead do not leech well)?

How is max damage exactly calculated? I know max and min damage is multiplied by the strength the character has, but does anyone have the formula?

Thanks.

try the link in the first post of the FAQ - I think the facts & formula archive has it.

So therefore Amplify Damage would also increase the amount of life leeched since it reduces physical resistance. physical resistance and drain effectiveness are factors that reduce life leeched. Mana Leech also seems to not work vs. 0% drain effectiveness enemies.

Not sure how Life / Mana Leech works in PvP.

The simple answer to this is "not at all" dont bother with leech on duellers since it wont do much anything for you...
