Mechanics
Soul Tether's unique mod Life Leech is applied to Energy Shield instead while on Full Life is functionally different than Ghost Reaver. Ghost Reaver converts sources of Life Leech into Energy Shield Leech, while Soul Tether causes Life Leech instances to recover Energy Shield while remaining Life Leech. Life Leech modifiers do not affect leech from Ghost Reaver, while Energy Shield Leech modifiers do not affect leech from Soul Tether.[1] Instances of life leech or energy shield leech do not interact with each other.
Life Leech effects from Soul Tether are not removed at Full Life or Full Energy Shield, because Life Leech instances are only ever removed at full life, which is prevented by Soul Tether's unique mod Life Leech Effects Are Not Removed At Full Life.[2]
