Worlock Infinite Health with Life Leech Ritual?

[Kenimich]

So I was playing multiplayer with a sorcerer, and had the Life Leech upgrade on the Warlock's Ritual. It was the first time I'd played the Warlock, and we noticed something weird where we starting being able to heal most of our health back almost immediately. When we changed floors it would go away, until I cast the Ritual again. Then we'd walk through the rest of the floor. Kind of killed the challenge, so I tabled the Warlock.

Was enjoying the Warlock immensely until that started happening.

The other person was hosting, if that helps. Had some other upgrades on Agony, and different trinkets, but that's the game.

Is there a place to report this bug? Have other people noticed this?

Game is not balanced for NG0. Is intended. Also, there are about 50 other extremely OP ways to beat NG0.

I feel like this is more of a bug than a feature, and therefore I don't want to push forward with my Warlock this way.

You mean that you get life leech while the ritual is active? Because that is intended. If the life leech presists even after the ritual then thats a whole other thing. And i have a lvl 25 warlock and that has never happend to me. Maybe that other player was using cheats?

You won't be saying that in NG+2 or beyond.

When you leech life you don't get it back instantly, you instead recover at a high rate until you have recovered the leeched amount. If you keep leeching you will build a bigger and bigger pool that you will recover life from, you aren't regening life you are recovering from life leech and because you leeched a lot and it can only recover at a certain speed you end up recovering over a long time.
