Life Leech is applied to Energy Shield instead while on Full Life

This mod is functionally different from Ghost Reaver. While Ghost Reaver converts all sources of Life Leech to Energy Shield Leech, Immortal Ambition modifies Life Leech’s effect while you are at full life. In turn, Life Leech modifiers do not affect leech from Ghost Reaver, and Energy Shield Leech does not affect leech from Immortal Ambition. Instances of life leech or energy shield leech do not interact with each other.

Life Leech

Life Leech effects from Immortal Ambition are not removed at Full Life or Full Energy Shield, because Life Leech instances are only ever removed at full life, which is prevented by the Life Leech Effects Are Not Removed At Full Life mod.

Full Life

“Full Life” on the Life Leech effects Recover Energy Shield instead while on Full Life mod is used in the literal sense akin to Damage on Full Life Support Damage on Full Life Support, rather than the “no Life left to recover” sense used by flasks. If you reserve a portion of life, you will never leech Energy Shield through this keystone when there’s no more unreserved and missing life to recover.

Energy Shield

You cannot be at full energy shield and also leech energy shield simultaneously, so only one of the damage multipliers from Energy Leech Support Energy Leech Support can be active at the same time. This can only be done with the claw Essentia Sanguis Essentia Sanguis.
