it feels like life leech is bugged. I have the life leech support gem and it worked once and then never again.

Funny enough it was working for me for some time, but suddenly it doesn't work anymore. Mana leech, life leech, or even life per hit, doesn't seem to work.

Maybe READ carefully description of "Leech" modifier , it will help you understand .

On your weapon or gloves (and i think rings?) you can have life leech stats.
That is the basis you need to be leeching life.

Then on the passive tree there is increased life leech which enlarge that basis (is not needed, better spend your points enlarging your damage)

Life leech happens over a short period after the hit. I think its 1 second, but not sure. And it is most likely limited to recovering 20% of your HP per second. Again not entirely sure.

If you use life on kill, that happens instantly and there is no limit to it.

For a melee class, i advise to use both.
