Did a quick search, no results, so sorry if this is a re-post (it seems like the sort of thing *someone* would've mentioned by now...).
The way Leech is worded makes it sound like it only heals you if you stand in an existing pool of blood (such as that created by a dead human/orc). However currently it seems to proc every time blood is CAUSED, for instance, it'll proc whenever you're shot or stabbed or have a Bleed spell cast on you. Any time you're hit by anything non-magical or elemental.
This is a little bit OTT. Feels a bit cheap. I'm currently at level 8 (mostly - Scarlett keeps dying ャ_ャ), and am fighting the undead in the old church (the bit that's not completely on fire), and I see the same sort of scenario in the combat log:
Skeleton Archer hits for around 35 damage.
Leech heals me for 29ish.
My main has 500 HP. It takes a while to die when you're only taking a total of 6 damage from archers!
Madora is virtually unkillable. In fact she may be literally invincible. She also has Comeback Kid, so her cycle even when she does get low on health is:
Skeleton Archer hits her for around 35 damage.
Comeback Kid means she stays on 1HP.
Leech heals her for 29. Giving her 30HP. So next time she's hit, Comeback Kid procs again because she's above 1HP and keeps her alive. Doesn't matter how many enemies have their turn before I can heal her again. She's actually unkillable. The only way she could potentially die is if she was on fire/poisoned or hit by a spell which does more than 29 damage (as then she'd be taken down to 1 by the burning/spell, NOT healed because she didn't bleed, and then killed by the next enemy to hit her). But that's a little unlikely given the number of enemies you're likely to face with a spell/elemental attack in one fight. Since that sequence has to happen one after the other - if she gets shot/hit again with physical damage in between it'll restart the circle of undeath all over again.
This can't be intended, right? I feels cheap as hell and I'm kinda regretting taking Leech on her.
Edit: Against the Cultists in the church itself she was actually outhealing them. They did 24 damage and she was healing 28 each time, so finished the fight on full health...
