'''Improved Drain Soul''' is a warlock talent that improves [[mana]] efficiency and reduces [[threat]] generated by [[affliction]] [[spell]]s.
 
 
''With mastery of the dark powers wielded by Warlocks, the souls of others become little more than a plaything. In fact, some are likely to gorge themselves on the life energies of others in obscene ways while they forge the Soul Shards used in their various rituals and magics.''

== Notes ==
 
In order for this talent's mana return to activate, the warlock or its [[minion]] must land the killing blow, which can be tricky in groups.
 
 
The threat reduction of the talent makes it attractive for group and solo play.
 
 
The trick to get the mana as a [[Shadowbolt]] or [[Incinerate]] spammer:<br>
 
:To best achieve the mana return when spamming [[DD]]s, ensure there is enough range between the warlock and the target so that Drain Soul can be cast whilst the DD is reaching it. This is easy on caster and ranged [[mob]]s. For melee mobs, let the Voidwalker or Felguard keep it at the distance. Reduce the mobs health such that it is one shot from death. Send in the executing shot and follow immediately with a Drain Soul. The DD flies slowly, and the Drain Soul connects instantly, before the DD lands and kills the mob.
 
 
If you have problems with too many [[Soul Shard]]s, addons like [http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files/details/2213/necrosis-ldc/ Necrosis] have support for automatic deletion.
