Is it instant ?
Does it work with all kind of damage ?
=> Answered : Leech is instant, and is the summed total of all your "Percent Life/mana Stolen" mods from gear or skills.
The %age leeched is only base on physical weapon damage, and no other sources.
Furthermore, leech efficiency varies depending on below factors :
- Normal Effecitiveness : 1/4 th.
- Nightmare Effectiveness : 1/7th.
- Hell Effectiveness : 1/15th.
- Bosses have a 40% reduction to leech in all difficulties
I remember hell effectiveness being like 1/40 or 1/50, and not 1/15. But thats not what im making this comment. Leech is very ineffective vs bosses, and not because of the leech resist, but because they have a damage divisor stat, which means that any dmg taken is divided by that number, thats how they can make bosses tanky and it allows them to make bosses with effectively infinite hp. The higher/tankier the boss is, the higher this number is, and that is why leeching from bosses is pretty much impossible.

ED is a local modifier, ewd is global. That means ed increases the damage on the weapon, while ewd increases your total physical damage done by your weapon (which also includes any added dmg from other items).
