Notes

• For more information about Life Siphoning, refer to Life Steal.
• A hit requires directly hitting the enemy with a skill. Conditions will not apply Vampiric, but the hits that apply them will.
• Skills that hit multiple times such as Ghastly Claws will trigger Vampiric for each hit.
• Vampiric will trigger on all hits even if those hits don't deal any damage. This includes skills which do not normally deal damage on a hit, as well as hits against enemies immune to damage.
• Only Well of Suffering and Well of Corruption will trigger Vampiric if enemies are within range of the pulses.
• Life siphon damage scales approximately as 38 + 0.003*power.
• Minion Life Steal scales approximately as 50 + 0.0213*power.
• Minion Heal rounds to the nearest whole health point when calculated.
