Leeching strikes is godawful
So i had to test out this skill for myself since this forum severely lacks info about skill mechanics, instead mostly relying on "this skill is good, this skill is bad, durr".
Anyway I thought this could be comparable to sorcerers surge ability, boy was i wrong. Here's how it is awful:
1. It only works on light and heavy attacks while surge works on everything that crits
2. It has a internal cooldown, meaning it doesn't proc properly with every tick of lightning and resto heavy attacks. Even light attacks with staves can fall under this cooldown. Maybe should have mentioned that in the skill description ZOS?
3. It DOESNT CRIT heal!
4. It reduces your spell power
Unless you have 100k health don't even bother getting anything out of this crap skill.

✭It's a tanking skill, the damage debuff should have been a big hint. I use it exclusively to increase the stam I get from a hvy attack.
I don't think any % of hp heals crit because they are a set amount. I know invigorating drain can't.
Hp scaling is another sign a skill is meant for tanks.Edited by WalksonGraves on 19 April 2017 16:390 -

You can build a lit staff HA NB using leching and WoE, and you will hit decently despite de spell dmg reduction. I have one that farms dungeons alone.
Anyway, ZoS is gonna change the skill into utter crap next patch...Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique0 -

✭They basically took the more popular morph for sap tanks, ripped it in half and got rid of the other one. Paying stam for stam is no toggle for tri stat.Edited by WalksonGraves on 19 April 2017 18:530 -

✭✭This skill now reminds me of the days when the templar's restoring focus would cost more magicka then it would restore. Utter, utter crap.0 -
