Heiho,
I only meant the 'monster-side penalties' you have, such as leech penalties in different difficulties or the new 1.10 leech drain factors. And, surely, the physical resistance of the opponent monster.
I'm with you when it comes to 'player-side penalties', such as damage modifications. Of course the healing ability depends on the actual (physical) damage dealt out.
PvP is a completely different matter, with some odd behaviour in itself.
In 1.09, the via LT gained life in PvP scenarios was calculated via the PvM damage. So, if a friendly PvP party member dealt out 1000 damage against a LT'd foeish hostile (with no damred gear), he gained actual 500life with a successful hit. Not, as would be the first thought, 125, because of PvP damage penalty.
With most of my fellow testers and meself not heavily interested in PvP, and the PvP guys still rushing and MFing to get the chars and stuff they need to bash themselves to death each other, I'm not clear about the new oddities in PvP curse behaviour. So I'm lost with the even more complicate sides of the global sight to all modifications like Energy Shield.
