Mechanics
Soul Tether's unique mod Life Leech is applied to Energy Shield instead while on Full Life essentially behaves as a conditional Ghost Reaver. Instances of life leech or energy shield leech do not interact with each other.
This can be demonstrated in two ways.
- The first example is using the Slayer node Endless Hunger (overleech). Here, the belt's energy shield degeneration (-5%/sec) is allowed to completely drain the player's energy shield. Previously-created life leech instances continue healing the player's life pool when damaged by monster attacks.[1] Note that Endless Hunger does not allow over leech to energy shield, and instances created when both pools are full will be instantly removed.[2]
- The second example is when a player takes chaos damage while on full life, and partially full energy shield.[3] In this situation, any previously-created leech continues to recover to energy shield, while new instances of leech are sent to life. This will have the appearance of both pools leeching simultaneously.[4]
