The spell Drain Life increases the efficiency of warlock soloing. A warlock can DoT up his opponent, and then Drain Life the guy down, which keeps him/her at full health, and then Life Tap back up for mana. This spell was given an increase in spell damage coefficients in patch 2.0.

With a lot of + damge which by the way alll locks should focus on at 36 or higher lvls, this becomes awsome to quickly get to full health, so far at my lvl with 88 + shadow damage at 42 it heals insane amounts at 65ish per tick and is especially useful for affliction locks who are drain tanking. Also the damage it dishes out is great to, VERY useful when u get that rogue ambush u can deathcoil fear dot then u can drain the life to get some pretty decent hp and get the nightfall procs to boot. Though this move is pretty crapy at lower lvls do NOT underestimate this.

Each tick of drain life have 4% chance of Nightfall
In addition Corruption gives 4% each tick

4*5=20% From drain life
4*6= 24% From corruption

Kommentar von galouk

as it was said, drain life makes some nice damage and heals you effectively, especially after a lifetap.

If you have nightfall (affliction three), you will also have over 20% (4% x 5s, not counting your running corruption dot) to see it proc during your drain life, and then get an instant SB. Which makes drain life+nightfall one of the most effective dps sequence of an affliction warlock. And Soul Siphon isnt an option imho :)

The "Alchemist stone" improves drain life by 40%?

Kommentar von 34204

I would assume that the Alchemist's Stone would not affect this spell as it is triggered by potions and potion-like consumables -- drain life is a skill, as opposed to an actual consumable item.

This spell and Life Tap are a good combination to keep going and going and going without returning to town to get drinks/food did this on my 42 warlock just to try it (Destro Spec dont think it helped at all but correct me if im wrong) killed things at an alarming rate

This spell will not be of much use until you are 15 points into the affliction tree till then stock up on water.

There's nothing a little draining can't fix!

mind flay crits now. does this?

Does not work on Mechanicals.

I am highly against enchanting your weapon with Lifestealing. As a caster, when are you ever going to be using melee? If you want to be an über self healer, just roll a Paladin and get the Crusader enchant. You'll soon learn that you should always have a judgement up on your current target. And the obvious complimentary judgement for Crusader would be... of light.

The reason I felt compelled to write this comment was because I was looking for a way to fight without ever having to heal or bail.

Kommentar von 325352

Amount of life drained is getting from .. ? Spell Power ?

Kommentar von 15507

needs a cooldown, oh so badly

Kommentar von 325352

Fast with bonus Haste equipment :P

Kommentar von Squirrely

Does haste rating affect this spell at all?

I assume it reduces global cooldown but I'm wondering if the channeling length will be shortened.

Kommentar von 420796

Is the amount of health gained by this lower on undead? because I've just been fighting the highborne in darkshore and only been getting 5-7 health per sec even with Demon Skin

Kommentar von shika

Good spell to use to waste a warrior's Spell Reflection

Kommentar von 285665

How ironic, you can kill the undead, using drain life....

Kommentar von 230590

actually what Bladebee64 means is "undead = no life to drain" so technically drain life and similar effects shouldn't work on undead (or other things like golems)

however, if this is like the majority of other games (anything based off DnD, final fantasy, etc), things are reversed with undead, negative energy or shadow damage heals instead of harming undead, so drain life would harm you to heal the undead... though funny they have a double standard too, a death knight's deathcoil can heal their minion but harm other undead lol

Kommentar von crovaxs

does drains life damage count as periodic damage?

Kommentar von 909998

I just discovered that a Rat or other critter that only has 8HP gives me +3074 HP with Drain Life (No Soulburn)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Perhaps at higher levels this is a little more effective, but this really isn't a warlock "heal" spell, per se, because when you need it most, chances are you're getting attacked which severely severely cuts the channeled duration.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have seen some Affliction builds... and I have to agree with you. I think this will get handy when you get lvl 24 and the Fel Concentration is 5/5. You can get much better dmg spells then this when you aren't getting attacked, and when you are getting attacked the dmg your getting will drasticly lower the channeling time this spell will do.

So first get Fel Concentration ^_^

Kommentar von Thottbot

The channel cutting simply increase the mana cost of drain life, otherwise doesnt lessens effectiveness.

Obs: if not having certain talents or anything special from equipment the mana cost would be the same as the health gain if not disconsentrated from attacks.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If your Voidwalker is tanking and you have health depleted from Life Tapping or damage over time, this can be useful for getting some of your life back. Remember that Drain Life also has a decent DPS (no where near Shadow Bolt or Searing Pain but still not too shabby).

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't like the new drain life talent, You gotta pop on more DoT's to get the same effect. Sure, in a raid it's better, but you won't be draining in a raid too often. It sucks cus my lock is drain-tank specced for PvP. put corruption on everything, siphon life, then drain life, and cast the insta-shadow bolts that proc.

Kommentar von Thottbot

In regards to the above statement this spell is amazing in raids. this combined with lifetap makes locks have unending dps. infact the only reason to have a lock in a raid is that after the mages and hunters run out of mana. they are able to maintian a constant amount of dps.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You make up the remaining 5 mana/health through Demon Skin.

Kommentar von Thottbot

At high level (70) with +dmg and +healing gear, each tick is 380 for me. I am demo spec'd but I have improved lifetap and soul siphon.

That's 1900+ total damage in 5 seconds, all of which is non-crit -- it's that much every single time I channel this. And it heals me for the same amount, in the same amount of time!

For lvl 70 5-mans, this rocks!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hi i was just wondering what kind of damage spell is this? shadow or just magical damage?

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is basically THE spell for "drain tanks" Just to let you know, a drain tank is a person who takes out a high dps pet (succy felhunter) or an imp for stamina... and then he dots up all the mobs and drain lifes the last one. These builds have 5/5 fel concentration and imp drain life

Kommentar von Thottbot

In raids this is a useful spell cause u will always have dps going :) all i do is dot and drain and if u have 2 locks this counts as a affliction debuff so yeah very useful

Kommentar von Thottbot

This steals almost 400 health per tick and returns it to me at level 70, i drop all my dots, lifetap so my mana is full again then chuck this at the mob until he is dead. good way to keep your health and mana up while fighting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

these is the best spell for aff locks just dot then life drain to death...geting low on mana lafe tap till u almost dead then go life drain some more :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

anyone know the formula for this particular rank? ive been getting 21 per tick, id also like to know what the rate for this is too

Kommentar von Thottbot

At level 40 or so, once you start to get decent spell damage, this spell tends to tick for more damage than the mobs deal (for an affliction build, obviously). Great for grinding--it allows you to "drain tank"

Kommentar von Thottbot

+ Healing does NOT affect this spell, but spell dmg does (because it increases the damage, and you gain health equivalent to the damage)

Kommentar von Thottbot

What I would like to know is if a mage casts amplify magic on a lock, would he gain more health from drain life? At the same time, would dampen magic reduce the healing from this spell?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Mortal strike is now effecting this spell, so does aimed shot and wound posion.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is part of the warlock mana health circle

this means
drain life= mana-health
life tap = health-mana
drain mana= mana-more mana
use this when doing quests under water because you cant use food

Kommentar von Allakhazam

One of the great things about a skilled warlock is the ability to keep your health and mana up at all times. Even at lvl 14 drain life along with life tap means that you should always have a good amount of mana ready at your disposal.

Spellpower co-efficient is 50% (10% per tick).

Kommentar von Gendien

Does this scale with shadow spellpower? I've never been real clear on that.

Questing with a warlock is kinda mundane... until you get this
