Notes

This spell works well with +Shadow Damage gear. If you combine a lot of +Damage gear with maxed ranks in [Soul Siphon] and [Improved Life Tap] you can significantly increase your net gain in mana when you Life Drain to regain what you lose with [Life Tap].
Because Drain Life deals damage and heals, it receives a 50% penalty from +damage gear. The total bonus is then distributed amongst the five ticks of the spell. For example - if you have +100 spell damage, each tick of Drain Life will transfer +10 HP from the target ((100*0.5) / 5).
Drain Life combined with Life Tap can allow a Warlock to act as a tank.
In Patch 2.3, the amount healed is reduced when the warlock is affected by healing reducing effects (e.g. Mortal Strike, Wounding Poison).
[Demon Armor] will allow the warlock to gain more health from the heal in the same way Mortal strike effects reduce the amount of healing done by the spell.

Patch changes

Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23):
- Damage has been reduced by approximately 12%.
- The [Soulburn] version of this was charging 17% of base mana instead of 12% like the normal version. This has been corrected.

-== Talent enhancement ==
+* This spell works well with +Shadow Damage gear. If you combine a lot of +Damage gear with maxed ranks in [[Soul Siphon]] and [[Improved Life Tap]] you can significantly increase your net gain in mana when you Life Drain to regain what you lose with [[Life Tap]].
-* [[Improved Disarm]] reduces the cooldown of the Disarm ability as well as increasing damage taken by the disarmed target.
+* Because Drain Life deals damage and heals, it receives a 50% penalty from +damage gear. The total bonus is then distributed amongst the five ticks of the spell. For example - if you have +100 spell damage, each tick of Drain Life will transfer +10 HP from the target ((100*0.5) / 5).
+* Drain Life combined with Life Tap can allow a Warlock to act as a tank.
-==Tips and Tactics==
+* In [[Patch 2.3]], the amount healed is reduced when the warlock is affected by healing reducing effects (e.g. Mortal Strike, Wounding Poison).
-* As stated above, you will typically see the greatest effect when used against melee players.
+* [[Demon Armor]] will allow the warlock to gain more health from the heal in the same way Mortal strike effects reduce the amount of healing done by the spell.
-* Disarm is highly useful against mobs that wield weapons, which almost strictly means [[humanoid]]s and [[demons]]. The damage reduction is marked, as much as 50-70%. For soloing, the cooldown is short enough that you can use it on each mob. For grouping, it can be used in tougher battles to nullify an attacker for 10 seconds while concentrating on another.
-* Disarming a mob will earn you its undying hatred; it will generate a high amount of threat  and is likely to stay on you for the duration of the fight (provided that nobody else does anything drastic to get its attention).
-* Disarming hunters will render them utterly powerless as they will be unable use [[Wing Clip]], [[Scatter Shot]], or [[Concussive Shot]] to kite you. They will still be able to set a [[hunter trap|trap]] however, so it is still a good idea to use [[Hamstring]] on the initial [[Charge]].
-* Using this against a [[Warrior]] or a [[Rogue]] will be very useful, since most of their abilities need a melee weapon, but against a caster it is waste of GCD and rage. Since casters doesn't use their weapons nearly at all, that one [[Mortal Strike]] will be much more useful than Disarm.
