X% Life stolen per hitLLLife stolen per hitReduced against players
Life Leech returns a percentage of the physical damage you deal as life. Elemental damage is not leeched, a physical immune gives nothing, and a miss gives nothing.
What you get back is cut twice. First by the difficulty (difficultylevels.txt LifeStealDivisor):
| Difficulty | Leech kept |
|---|---|
| Normal | all |
| Nightmare | 1/2 |
| Hell | 1/3 |
Then by the monster's own drain figure in monstats.txt, a percentage per difficulty: 100 on most Normal monsters, 75 or 50 on many in Hell, 33 on Hell Andariel and the Wraiths, and empty — no leech at all — on skeletons, Hell Mephisto and Hell Diablo.
life returned = physical damage dealt × leech % ÷ 100 ÷ LifeStealDivisor × monster drain ÷ 100
Leech needs physical damage to land, and a target that can be drained: against a physical-immune monster or a skeleton it returns nothing, and against Hell's act bosses little or nothing. Life after each Kill and Replenish Life do not depend on either.
The whole rule, with the monster table, is on Leech. See also Mana Leech.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (lifedrainmindam) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
