What I was subtly alluding to is that the leech is not really consequential (unless there is so much damage being dealt to you from other sources in CS.. e.g. oblivion knight elemental/magic attacks etc.).
This source here basically says that CB does not add add to total physical damage dealt by character.
Edit: Also found this
So apparently one won't trigger IM by CB "effect" nor will IM get "multiplied" so
Leech is obviously pegged to the "real" damage (off the weapon + skills + stats + "+damage" items etc.)
This was exactly my experience in 1.09d.
Druid had huge life. Low IM effect as long as weapon is not too-powerfull (CB was a bunus for me there allowing to lesser exposure by killing more efficiently).
In fact the only difference I can see between 1.09d & 1.10 CB is that /players x
(or large realm game) does not scale anymore. That affects exposure-time safety only nothing to do with IM-suicide. Not like I run /players 8 in hell anyway ... :rolleyes:
However one must ask if IM level cast in 1.09d and 1.10 by monsters in same area is the same slvl. Well.. maybe in hell it's not :(
