Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Abolish Leech... introduce "Bloodthirst"/"Mani ac".

Bleed seems to be the weakest of the status effects.. though it can be consistent it doesn't approach the usefulness of Burn, Stun, Frozen etc...

And for a game as absurdly bloody as this you'd think there'd be something better.

Currently we have "Leech", which heals you while you stand in a puddle of blood.

I advise changing the name of Leech to something more insane... Bloodthirst/Maniac, etc... and while you're standing in that puddle of blood you receive a +5% bonus to damage or a +3% bonus to critical strikes.

Keep Leech and add Bloodthirst/Maniac

Nice idea. I'm adding this to the list of ideas for future talents I'm compiling (and I marked your name down as the source). But yes, keep Leech (but maybe make it more effective).

Has anyone been testing Leech? Every time I finish a fight there's blood everywhere and I can't help but wonder whether Leech would have completely wrecked the challenge of that fight or not. How effective is the healing?

Yes, Leech is pretty neat. The healing is not soooo very effective but my character heals a little bit every time when she gets hit and spills her own blood - so effectively, leech reduces the amount of damage done to my character. And in some fights this could mean the difference between life and death^^. Btw, Leech is very useful when combined with the "comeback-kid" talent.
