Fixing Drain Life For All specs

Classes Warlock

They should rip the “Increases Drain Life healing by 30% while your health is at or below 35% health” from Death’s Embrace on the affliction tree and make it a baseline passive for warlocks with one added change to it. Make it snapshot the healing boost. “If you use the drain life spell at or below 35% health your drain life will heal for 30% more.”

That is the first step. The next step is to have its damage scale with our health pool. Drain life would now deal an additional 3% of our max health as damage. This means unless the target has damage reduction popped, drain life will at minimum heal for 15% of our maximum health. I think this is a fair change but balancing would of course be considered.

Also remove soul rot functionality so that this doesnt become op as affliction ok its fixed now.

I just want AOE drain life back. That thing was fun to press.

it would need to ignore damage reduction to be viable because most classes have some type of passive shield or you might start losing fights to disc priests if it continues down this path lol

As Demo, I was never a fan of Drain Life as a spell, even when running Torghast.
I was always of the belief that (at least as Demo), we should call a demon that drains life and channels it to us, allowing us to keep casting.
