Is it generalized that 1 second is 24 frames? So if a skills deals X damage every second it's considered it deals damage every 24 frames? Also, are there any skills that damage every 24 frames on their own (Disregarding the player casting the spell)? Does poison do this?

There are 25 frames per second

Depending on the skill it can apply its damage any number of times per second. Some of them can apply their damage more than once per frame too, if they're composed of multiple missiles that have no Next Delay.

Once poison is applied to a monster it takes damage once every frame for the entire duration it is poisoned. The skill applying the poison can apply the poison multiple times over its duration (like the Druid's Plague Avatar), but each new instance of poison overwrites the old one if its DPS is higher, and refreshes the duration.

How does life leech work in median?

I remember reading that it is nerfed to 1% of it's value on dest. So if I have 60% life leech from gear/skills and I have 1000 life does that mean that every strike leeches 0.6% of my 1k life or 6 life per strike?

is it only for melee? Does tanrum trigger life leech for example?

60% life leech will return .6% of the physical weapon damage you deal as health (your health and how many strikes you land are irrelevant). Also pretty sure physical spells are irrelevant, only WDM

Miasma proc MO's are great, Crucify proc will be good too if you're building a nagisin but use Obliteration/Shadow Refuge as main attacks.

Guys, what's up with the weird stats when uptiering unique from Gift Box?? Am I the only one having this problem? I just started, so I don't have enough crystals to test it more, but so far four items and its really weird. The stats in the documentation are totally different. The only things that change are basic damage and lvl requirement. What's the point in farming uniques and trying to uptier your items of choice when there's no impact? Did the last patch changed that or what?
