Sacred 2:Life leeched per hit

When using this modifier, for each successful hit, a player will gain the "+X" amount of health from the enemy's hitpoints while inflicting the same amount of damage. This is extra, unresisted damage that cannot be defended against by any opponent in the game. This modifier will have no effect if the attacker is already at full health. The effect stacks and can be socketed with with no diminishing returns.

This only works with melee/ranged attacks and weapon-based Combat Arts. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. It does not work when using spells or secondary effects (Burn, Poison, etc.)

It can often be more useful than Leech life from opponents +X% when fighting mobs, as this modifier will produce a flat amount of damage per hit. By contrast, the percentage values from "Leech Life from Opponents" are very low, except when fighting bosses and mini-bosses.
