Siphoning Strikes - Leeching Strikes

Gargath · October 2016

I wonder how this ability work per unit of time - I mean it says:

•Imbue your weapons with soul-stealing power, causing your Light and Heavy Attacks to restore 238 Magicka, 238 Stamina and 3% of your Max Health while toggled.

Does it mean this effect is made each single second or even more seconds, or should happen multiple times in this single second - so should stack the effects if I'm spamming light attacks more times in one sec?

I was thinking this will be a good for restoring stamina/health with a stamina bow/bow build, but now I see it's not much effective in combat - the regen is low even when spamming fast the light attacks.

Is it broken or what?

Edit: for me the ability description says "restore ~930 stamina", so if I spammed light attacks 10 Times in 2-3 seconds should I get 9300 stamina?
Same with HP, having 20k hp and 3% is 600, is it 6k hp regen in 2-3 seconds? It definitely doesn't work that way.

Not sure on the maths, but the fact it lowers damage makes it bad. The other move restores off light attacks and a chance to restore a good chunk off any direct damage ability. Just keep refreshing it every 15 seconds.

It's an amazing skill. My saptank has crazy resource management at this is why.

Even on dps pvp builds it restores a lot as you're non stop light/medium atrack weaving

Well ok, but does the restore effect from Leeching Strikes work by each second only, or can be stacked multiple Times by spamming light attacks?

If it's only 3% health restore each second it would be completely worthless, and that also would make the Leeching Strikes broken, because it's an ability to restore heath on the high cost of dps.

So having only 600 hp regen in each second (forced by light attacks which take time to use and restrains from using other more powerful damaging abilities and enemy is still doing damage) is way way too low in combat for bow user. Maybe I missed something...
