This is the best way to heal your pet on that level (alternative is bandaging). This spell produces threat, don't forget about it when your Voidwalker is tanking more than one target.

Comment by warlockstan618

this spell is a great combo with drain life. send out the minon, if it's taking damage, a lil life drain. simply put HF DL, repeat, lol.

Comment by Ghaara

IMO, this spell should heal the lock, draining life from his pet :P

Comment by sorsa

Also scales with haste. For example with 15% haste the Health Funnel ticks will occur every 0.87s instead of every 1s.

Comment by ArthurBFieserJr

Purely awesome for a warlock and his minion.

Comment by Jurakk

With Fel Synergy, is there any reason to actually use this let alone spend talent points on it?

I cant remember the last time my pet went under 80% health.

Comment by Deathcaster

As of the Pre-Cataclysm patch 4.0.x This spell has the following effects/requirments:

It requires no mana at all.

It does not consume life at the start and it only consumes at the "ticks".

It's duration (channeling time) has been dramatically reduced. It now lasts for 3 seconds and ticks every 1 second (modified by haste)

It now has a huge life conversion rate starting from a 70% (At 80 level with no gear on) and scaling up to 2000% modified by spell power/intellect.

To clarify that last. Imagine you have 1000 max life with zero intellect or spell power bonus from gear. 1% of this equals to 10 life. that means that on every "tick",it drains 10 life from you and gives 7 to the pet (that's the 70% conversion rate. 70% of that 10 life it drains).
Now let's say you have ~4000 spell power (max average with full 277 gear+buffs) the conversion rate would jump up to 2000% of life drained. That means that if you have 1000 life,1% of this would still be 10 life but your pet will recieve about 200 life per tick.

As with every new content the information in this comment are subject to change and may no longer be true for future releases/patches

Don't ask how I know this... But this spell CAN kill you.

I found out the fun way.... ._.

Comment by asherkobin

I wish there was Mana Funnel. When I enslave a demon, they run out of mana quickly.

Comment by Scourgething

Be careful using this on your succubus, you might not know where she's been.

Comment by epiccollision

Anyone know what happened to this spell in 5.0.4? i have the soulburn ability and using /cast health funnel activated soul link; anyone?

Comment by typ0

Neither tooltip for the talent or the spell ingame states that Soul Link actually replaces Health Funnel. I was looking frantically ingame wondering why I couldn't find my Health Funnel until I had to Google the answer.

So, quick recap: If you're speced into Soul Link it replaces Health Funnel!

Health Funnel: Sacrifices 12% of your maximum health over 6 sec to restore 36% of your summoned Demon's maximum health.
looking much better in Warlords :D! can heal my voidwalker quicker and get back to killing faster :)

Comment by Nerraw

Currently not available for Destruction on beta realms. No explanation has been given so far, and it is not in the patch notes either. It seems to be intentional however, seeing as Glyph of Health Funnel has been remedied to only work for Affliction and Demonology.
