Notes

If a Warlock's demon is Banished, this effect will be removed until the demon is back under control of the master. The druid spell Cyclone also temporarily suspends the Soul Link effect if cast on the demon.

CHANGELOG

Patch 3.0.2 - Shared damage increased to 20%.

Patch 3.0.1 - Bonus damage removed. Shared damage reduced to 15%. Moved to tier 3.

Patch 2.1 - "Adjusted tooltip to explain that the damage transferred to the pet cannot be prevented. The functionality remains unchanged. This ability will now work with enslaved demons."

Prior to Patch 1.8, it redirected 50% of all damage and lasted for 30 seconds, but was dispellable.
