First the explanation:
The 1.10 leech is cut to a half in Nightmare and a third in Hell
It is then affected by the monsters leech resistance, called "Drain" in the game files. Drain 20 means only 20% is leeched
It is also affected by the monster's physical resistance.
So for instance a Zombie on the Hell Blood Moor (Drain 50, Damage Resistance 50%) would allow leech as follows
/3 for difficulty
/2 for drain resistance
/2 for physical resistance
So leech is cut to 1/12th against this particular monster type. (This I'm pretty sure of )
Now the speculation
People have reported that they are not leeching at all. I think this may be the game rounding down. So 11% leech against those zombies = 11/12, which rounds down to zero. This is just speculation on my part
