Imp Lifetap Changed??

If 2/2 Imp Lifetap continues to restore an additional 20% mana, and I suppose now health, for a total of 35%, then that's not bad. Although I suspect Blizz will push it further up the talent tree.


Maybe it's just being a Monday, but I still can't find the thread with the stated change on the PTR forum. Link? Thank you.

Improved Life Tap will work the same as it always has. You get 20% more mana with the talent than you get without it. So, with 0 points in the talent, you get 15% of your max mana. With one point, you get 16.5%. With 2 points, you get 18%.

The amount of health lost when tapping does not change.

Q u o t e:


Can you give us a reason for the lifetap change? Any reason will do.


Quite honestly, we wanted warlocks to take a larger hit to their hit points when lifetapping in PvP. While in PvP, this means they will take a bigger hit to their health, in PvE it will have smaller impact (and actually can be gamed for an improvement via higher intelligence and lower stamina).
