1% LL vs 100def on helm

Hi have a question
whats more important ? 1% extra LL on an andariels visage or say 100+ more defence on the eth version instead?
I’ve read somewhere that LL is only at 33% in hell and there are life leech reduction figures on different monsters?

Ya, the “Penalty” is a real thing, however it doesnt really matter.
The entire life leech calculation is just a multiplication, meaning that even though leech only functions at “33%” efficiency, going from 9>10% or whatever life leech would still increase your overall life leech by 11%. >> 9>2.97%, 10>3.3%

As for the armor vs life leech - Life leech is definitely more important than armor, but realistically your merc isn’t going to make or break from either 1%LL or 100 armor, meaning that the Eth andy face could just “look more pleasing” than a noneth ones with slightly btter stats.

On the LL side of things, the calculation is basically DAMAGE * Leech% * Difficulty * Specific mob multiplier.
Undeads can’t be leeched from, but can be life-tapped.
