Drain Life, we will miss you

My fellow locks tweaked up on fel magic know the spell

Your horrified self running away in fear knows the spell

The lifeless husk of your drained warband comrade knows the spell

We all know the spell.

It’s just come to my attention that the most iconic warlock spell no longer has a function. It does not heal. It does not do damage. It does not drain.

Are we just going to stand here helpless, expansion after expansion, as blizzard kills of the very essence of what makes our favorite classes our favorite classes?

Leaving this video here in tribute of the most bad as and historically rich warlock spell in existence:

My warlock still has drain life, it’s a part of how Soul Rot functions

In what way. Mine still has it.

Not really. It’s been a more and more useless spell as the expansions have gone on. Hasn’t saved my butt from DMG in years. I never use it I have pots and stones.

Really if this one spell is what you think defines warlock…

Lol is all I can say.

Dramatic much lol

If you still have drain life in your action bars you’re actually griefing

Spell does no damage and has no actual utility anymore

It’s not supposed to do much damage, it’s a healing spell and defensive spell.

Are you talking about Siphon Life the DoT or the Harvest Life passive?

Because Last time I check my Warlock had access to Life Drain

:thinking:

The only time Life Drain did notable damage was after it got to max stacks and you soul rotted, it functioned as a full heal and akin to casting soul drain on everyone. It wasn’t that big outside of its heal.
