[[Category:priest abilities]][[Category:priest abilities]]

Vampiric Embrace is a Priest buff that can be acquired from the Shadow talent tree. It causes the priest to be healed for 15% of any single-target Shadow spell damage dealt by the priest, while the priest's party is healed for 3%.

Notes

Only applies to single-target Shadow damage from the Shadow Priest's spells. Shadow damage from other casters or wands is not affected.

The casting priest is also considered to be a member of their own party, even when not in a group, so receives two healing effects: one for 15% and another for 3%.

This buff was previously a castable Curse.

+Healing gear does not increase the amount healed by this spell. However, gear with Spell power will indirectly increase the healing by increasing shadow damage dealt.

Healing generated from Vampiric Embrace causes threat in the same way as other healing spells.

The healing effect is treated as a healing spell when applied to party members. Therefore, Protection Paladins will gain mana as well as health from the effect of this spell through Spell holy revivechampion [Spiritual Attunement]. Mana gained is minimal - often in single digit (maximum is 2.5% of damage dealt), and only if the paladin is not already at full health. The healing done is affected by Ability warrior savageblow [Mortal Strike] effects.
