To edit these notes, go to Template:Drain Life notes.

  • This spell has two steps:
    • First, it damages its target, queuing and resolving triggers;
    • Then, it heals your hero, queuing and resolving triggers.
  • As usual, Spell Damage increases the damage dealt by this spell but it does not affect the amount of Health restored, while LegacyProphet Velen separately increases both the damage dealt and the Health restored.


Lore

Drain Life is a warlock spell from World of Warcraft. A channeled ability, the spell deals a small amount of Shadow damage to the target while slowly restoring the warlock's health. It is often used on feared targets to restore the warlock's health without breaking the fear effect.
