The modifier #% of Life Leech applies to enemies as Chaos Damage takes 200% of the actual life gained from leech and deals it as chaos damage to enemy that was the target of the leeching. Therefore, by default no damage is dealt if the player is at full health while leeching. This damage is not affected by damage modifiers as it is considered as reflected damage.[1]

Instant leech
Instant life leech modifiers (such as BloodseekerBloodseeker Hellion's PawClaw Physical Damage: (162-172.8) to (255-272) Critical Strike Chance: 6.00% Attacks per Second: 1.68 Weapon Range: 1.1 metresRequires Level 62, 131 Dex, 95 Int1.6% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life(200-220)% increased Physical Damage Adds 25 to 30 Physical Damage 5% increased Attack Speed 1.2% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life 5% increased Movement Speed LifeLeech from Hits with this Weapon is instant"For the life of the flesh will always be in the blood." - Atalui, Vaal Priestess or Leech Mastery) cause the chaos damage derived from instant leech to be dealt instantly as a hit, rather than as damage over time. This damage can be mitigated by modifiers to damage reduction from hits, such as The Fourth VowThe Fourth Vow Devout ChainmailArmour: (755-1270) Energy Shield: (155-259) Movement Speed: -5%Requires Level 55, 80 Str, 80 IntPhysical Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield (150-250)% increased Armour and Energy Shield +(17-29)% to Chaos Resistance Regenerate 3% of Life per second Armour also applies to Chaos Damage taken from HitsSeek not to avoid the mortal pains of this world. In flagellation, there lies freedom from temptation.. The damage dealt is based on the amount of life possible to be recovered from instant leech before the character reaches full life.
"Life leech is not removed"
With Brutal Fervour or other sources preventing leech from being removed, the damage will continue as long as the leech instance persists, even at full life.[2] If a player has both instant leech and overleech, the damage is derived from the full potential recovery of the instant leech (rather than the amount recovered), even at full life.[3][4]
Scaling
The only limiting factor relevant to The Retch's damage potential is Maximum recovery per Life Leech. This establishes an upper bound on how much life recovery a single instance of leech can have - regardless of whether it is instant or not. The Retch causes damage equal to a percentage of the life leeched by each leech instance, so this cap also limits the amount of damage The Retch can do for each life leech instance. [5] Therefore, in order to increase the damage of the Retch, the player has to either increase the cap of Maximum recovery per Life Leech (while still reaching said cap), increase the players life pool, increase hit rate (more leech instances) and/or increase damage taken of the enemy (e.g. curses). Any type of increases to damage, e.g. increased chaos damage, have no effect on the scaling.

N/A
The Retch itself is not a league-specific item. However, the ingredients of the vendor recipe were tied to Talisman league. There are additional ways to acquire league-restricted items, see the article for the League-specific items for more details. Since version 3.14.0 the ingredients are also included in the core drop table.

Fixed various issues with The Retch's property that deals chaos damage. It is now also clearer that the portion of life leech that is dealt as damage is dealt as chaos damage.
