ES leech. This is the biggest change. VP will no longer do anything for ES leech, so we no longer need the entire south branch of the tree. That's a lot of skill points to re-allocate. GR will do everything VP previously did. However, the leech cap is only half of what it was with VP. But there are some new ways to raise it on the tree. And new sources of ES leech that may or may not let us replace the LL gem.

I'm no expert, but have been looking at this build for next league. Is it just me, or does not needing VP mean also not needing all those Fertile Minds, since we no longer need that path at all?

If I'm reading the new nodes correctly, taking the ES leech clusters, we will have around 30% ES leech per second max (10% base, doubled by Ghost reaver, and 50% increased from passive tree nodes). This is down from 40% with Vaal Pact. So it's quite a nerf on our overall sustain. The flip side, is that there is PLENTY of ES base leech that we will be getting (quick count shows around 1.7%) so no curses, life leech gem, or vitality aura needed to max leech.

You'll likely want to hunt for ES Recovery Rate Watcher's eyes... as well as use the Soul of Arakaali for the extra 50% boost.

For almost all content you probably won't notice the lower leech rate, but you may when pushing Uber Elder, or something similar, unless you have a truly obscene amount of total ES.



TLDR: Cons: ES recovery took a hit, but not a "horrible" one.
Pros: No more need for life leech gem, vitality aura (watcher's eye), or
Warlord's mark.

Pro or Con, depending on how you want to look at it..... The tree will need to be seriously worked over and tweaked as there are a few more "mandatory" nodes and a the entire bottom half of the tree is now open for reallocation.
