The Affliction talent, Fel Concentration, when maxed out provides the warlock a 70% chance to avoid spell pushback while channeling drain life, drain soul, or drain mana. Right now, it is broken. Instead of 70% it is more like 43%, as I can cast drain life on a mob and drain life maybe goes for 2 ticks before stopping because the mob is hitting me and still causing interruption more often than it should. They need to make Fel Concentration 100% if maxed out. C’mon blizz

I leveled drain life tank and it felt perfect. Rarely ever got interrupted channeling drain life. Except if 2 or 3 melee mobs were hitting me at the same time…

I leveled drain life tank as well, and I can count on one hand the number of times I was able to get a full channel of drain life off on a mob hitting me. So, I don’t believe you.

It feels rights for me, except for ranged attacks. For some reason spell casters can knock it back what feels like 75%-100% of the time.
Until i do a test of say 1000 melee and rangdd hits, i couldnt say its broke with confidence. I have considered that it is though…
So far, its all ‘feels like’, and such.
Unless someone does a count of 1000 ticks of channeling and counts the pushbacks. There’s no way to say its bugged. And even then 1000 is a small sample size.

that’s messed up
LOL, what about #nochanges don’t you get?
You’ve offered no proof of your assertion except an anecdote with a guess of 43% … BTW, making it appear as if you’ve calculated it by not making it a round number actually makes your claim less credible.
My Druid has a similar talent that also caps at 70% and it feels fine to me so I haven’t bothered to try to produce EVIDENCE for that assertion; you may want to if you’re going to begin to try to persuade Blizzard to ‘fix’ it.

It’s something to do with leeway.
On my mage, if I’m kiting a mob and it suddenly reaches me, it doesn’t just hit me once. It hits me 3 or 4 times in a second. It’s some sort of spell batching or leeway thing. It’s as if it’s saved up all of the attacks it should have gotten, and unleashed them all at once.
I’m guessing a similar thing is happening to your warlock, and because you’re getting hit 4 times, it’s much more likely that your Drain Life is getting interrupted.

I don’t think that it is. I’m not kiting mobs when i pull them. I’m standing still channeling drain life and everytime i get hit there’s only supposed to be a 30% chance that my drain life channel gets interrupted and ends earlier than normal. Instead, it feels like over 50% of the time i’m getting interrupted. Again, I’ve lost count of how many times i’ve only gotten 1 or 2 ticks of drain life from getting hit, and I can count on 1 hand the number of times that i’ve had a full channel go through while a mob was hitting me. I know the difference if a mob is hitting me once and multiple times in 1 second. It’s not that.
It’s 30% per hit, that’s what I’m saying. If you’re getting hit 4 times then it’s more like an 80% chance you get at least 1 pushback.

No. Warlocks are already gods. Deal with it.

Good god this is /r/iamverysmart material.
I even agree with you, but the way you worded that makes me pity you.
But to add to the discussion, I felt that 70% felt exactly like 70% to me. I really enjoyed leveling with the drain build.
Working as intended. You’re just consistently unlucky.
Leveling as drain build, feels like 70% to me. But then again most of the time I fear pingpong mobs to be more mana efficient.

imagine still being drain life specced at 59
Isn’t the drain tank build for leveling, though? What reason would he have to respec before 60? To dungeon farm prebis? I’m asking out of curiosity, not criticism.
