New Shiny Coin Enchantment Gives Orders of Magnitude of Life Steal Severity

So this new enchantment is just breaking the game.
In the defense slot Life Steal Severity +180 contributes to 18,000% Life Steal Severity.
While probably not so problematic in PvE if you have a good Tank and Healer setup, in PvP, people are healing for 2 million and are effectively immortal.
I think perhaps a decimal point was off somewhere in the calculations ...

I confirm the above. It is game breaking. The purple version also gives 24k severity.

One DoT which lifesteals and they're healing to full life constantly, like a neverending Stone of Health.
It seems to glitch with all ranks for this enchantment.
Furthermore when upgrading from Rank 13 to 14, the stats are all messed up. At Rank 14: Critical Strike, Combat Advantage get reduced to +15 each (down from +510 at Rank 13), while Reward Modifier becomes +3 (down from +15 at Rank 13).
Gratz for releasing yet another thing broken.. but more importantly.. you can throw out your date, its going to be heavily flawed.. people are now rushing through mob packs.. who cares.. your a virtual superman.
How something like this makes it to live is beyond me. But they'd rather rush to market rather than stop for a moment and think "hang on, 18,111% life steal severity might be an issue".
This bug has had a very noticeable effect on the PVP que rates on PC, I haven't been seeing the que pop much ever since people found and started abusing these enchantment's bugged lifesteal sev. This has persisted past the recent events ending so its not just people grinding the events causing this. A lot of players have mentioned in chat and discord that they aren't PVPing until these enchantments are fixed.
I've also fought 1 OP and 1 DC during some of the few matches I've gotten recently that had these enchantments on, they are pretty much immortal unless you manage to kill them in 1 shot.
While you are at it, there are still at least 2 horrifically bugged artifacts that need to be reported to the devs and fixed. Tymora's Spinning Coin and Gond's Anvil of Creation.
Tymora's Spinning Coin prones people over and over again and frequently makes it impossible to get up for at least 10 seconds. The devs did fix the other bug with tymora's coin where it had been doing insanely high damage but the prone effect I am 100% sure has not been fixed yet and it is still being widely abused by players in PVP.
Gond's Anvil of Creation artifact does really high damage over time and also provides a very strong shield while it is active. This is also wreaking havoc in PVP and needs to be fixed.
Also, I'd recommend keeping an eye out for any reports on the envenomed storytellers journal and waukeen's horde artifacts. I think waukeen's horde is also bugged but not 100% sure since I usually see people using gond's anvil and tymora's coin instead. The storyteller's journal I remember seeing a lot of PVPers worried about when they saw the tooltip but not sure if it was confirmed to be bugged or overpowered yet.
