Notes
Edit
This glyph allows you to boost your spell power by using Life Tap or Dark Pact. It combines with Fel Armor to increase your spell power by 50% of your Spirit, and Fel Armor helps you heal back the life lost. With the Demonic Aegis talent, this can be increased to 59% (30% increase of the 30% provided by Fel Armor).
Useful for Warlocks of all specs, this glyph provides a near-constant boost in DPS from your Spirit. Over the 40-second duration of the buff, Fel Armor will heal 90% of the health used to trigger the Glyph, so you effectively use only 4% of your health to keep this buff active.
In raid scenarios, the combination of Divine Spirit, Fel Intelligence, Mark of the Wild, and Blessing of Kings increases your Spirit by 199 at level 80. The glyph therefore provides you with 40 spell power purely from your buffs. Factor in the Spirit on your gear and your character and even more spell power is to be found.
Particularly for Affliction and Destruction Warlocks, who try and stay under full health to benefit from the healing effects of Siphon Life and Soul Leech, this is a flat DPS increase.
If a Warlock has plenty of mana or cannot afford to sacrifice a large amount of health (during PvP or while taking damage), a lower rank of Life Tap will still proc the effect (with significantly less health lost).
