FTSNotGreg's Notes

POB link - https://pastebin.com/8QDPDnLa With 200% life leeched per second alongside strength of blood results in 100% less damage taken or in other words damage immunity. There are multiple ways to go about getting 200% to get full immunity including getting 50% conditional max leech rate from defy pain on berserker or subbing out more adrenaline small clusters. For getting gem levels for vampiric link. Bow likely wouldn't be best option as crest of desire fulfills a similar role with much less opportunity cost. Assuming alt quality vampiric link is fixed getting full immunity would be much easier and make it much more viable for a solo build. Video Whissp made with the same concept back in delirium league using methods that were possible then but not now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9lgBWmEzco As for why vampiric link is so important is because its leech that it gives adds to base max leech rate that then gets multiped by sources of % max leech rate. For the setup I used it gave 9.36% base leech that gets added onto the base 20% max leech rate resulting in a base leech rate of 29.36% before any multipliers. One last thing to note is that vampiric link gives over leech so no need to go slayer to have perma uptime there. Edit: As someone mentioned using this with an infinite DPS boneshatter setup https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/qbnq1y/infinite_dps_boneshatter_315/ It would be difficult to setup solo. However as this leech setup as support + that boneshatter setup for carry it could work out very well for deep delve bosses for example. As it would get damage immunity with leech support + infinite scaling till instance crashes with boneshatter setup.

Edit 1: Someone mentioned testing it and it not working with the assumption that is based off leech applies to the target instead of you making it so you don't get the leech and thus not the recovery. If what they said is true and they had the correct setup it word kill it for solo 100%. But as a party of 3+ it should still be possible based off the wording "they get recovery from your life leech instead of you" assuming that means that each person in the chain would apply their leech to the one they are linked to but get the leech from the one linked to them. In that instance it would still need 1 person to have the full leech setup however the other 2 people would inherit the max leech rate of 200% from the leech character allowing for immunity of all 3+ members in a group.

Edit 2: As a note thats way over due, there were multiple mistakes in this video with the tldr being it still works just only in the context of apply immunity to 1 other member in a party assuming you or them reach leech cap. There are no longer enough sources in the game to reach full immunity even with this setup however if alt quality vamp link were to be patched so it works then it would be possible again. Granted most likely too jank to be worth using.
