=== Leech Reductions ===
A skill like Leap Attack is considered a ranged attack, and will therefore apply the ranged attack reduction '''and''' the Leap Attack reduction.
 
'''Attack leech reduction'''
* ''Melee Splash:'' 1/2 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
* ''Ranged Attacks:'' 1/2 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
 
'''Skill leech reduction'''
* ''Blade Shield:'' 1/4 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
* ''Leap Attack:'' 1/3 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>]
 
'''Difficulty leech reduction'''
* ''Normal:'' N/A
* ''Nightmare:'' 1/2 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
* ''Hell:'' 1/3 [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
 
'''Zone leech reduction'''
* ''PvP maps:'' set leech to 0% [<span class="d2-red">Life</span>/<span class="d2-blue">Mana</span>]
 
=== Leech Formula ===
 
# Apply Attack and Skill reductions, truncate any decimals
# Multiply the leech value by 64
# Apply the Difficulty reduction
# Get life leeched amount based on physical damage dealt
# Apply monster drain effectiveness
# Divide the final value by 64, truncate any decimals
 
As an example, consider a Barbarian with 7% Life leech, using Leap Attack (5k damage) against The Cow Queen:
# <span class="d2-white">7 / 2 / 3 = 1</span>
# <span class="d2-white">1 * 64 = 64</span>
# <span class="d2-white">64 / 3 = 21</span>
# <span class="d2-white">21 * 5000 / 100 = 1050</span>
# <span class="d2-white">20 * 1050 / 100 = 210</span>
# <span class="d2-white">210 / 64 =</span> <span class="d2-red">3hp leeched</span>
 
Another example, consider a Paladin with 9% Life leech, using Zeal (3k damage) against a Death Beatle:
# <span class="d2-white">9 / 2 = 4</span>
# <span class="d2-white">4 * 64 = 256</span>
# <span class="d2-white">256 / 3 = 85</span>
# <span class="d2-white">85 * 3000 / 100 = 2550</span>
# <span class="d2-white">50 * 2550 / 100 = 1275</span>
# <span class="d2-white">1275 / 64 =</span> <span class="d2-red">19hp leeched</span>
