Vampiric Embrace is a Priest magical debuff that can be acquired from the Shadow talent tree. It causes all party members to be healed of 15 % of any Shadow spell damage you deal. This talent was changed in patch 2.0.10 - previously it would heal for 20% of Shadow spell damage done.

Notes

• Only applies to Shadow damage from the Shadow Priest's spells. Shadow damage from other casters or wands is not affected. Vampiric Embrace may be cast by multiple priests on the same target, but it does not stack. Each priest's VE generates healing from their own shadow damage.
• With Patch 1.10, Improved Vampiric Embrace has been added to the shadow tree, and can be used to increase its effectiveness to 25% (since patch 2.0.10).
• This debuff was previously considered to be a Curse.
• + Healing gear does not increase the amount healed by this spell.
• 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, paladins will gain mana as well as health from the effect of this spell through Spiritual Attunement. Mana gained is minimal - often in single digit. (Maximum is 2.5% of damage dealt)

Description

• Spell description: "Afflicts your target with Shadow energy that causes all party members to be healed for 15% of any Shadow spell damage you deal for 1 min."
• Buff description: "15% of Shadow spell damage caused by casting priest heals the priest's group."
