Heres a change in 1.12 that was made after the release of PTRs. Perhaps this will give new angles to the 'Does Lifetap cause threat?' debates I've been seeing as of late. ;)

[li]Life Tap: This spell now benefits from effects which increase your spell damage. At rank 3 and above, the base amount of health lost and mana gained will increase by 80% of your bonus spell damage effects. Talents and items can further modify those values. Rank 1 and 2 receive reduced effect.

Thoughts?

A step in the right direction, I think. Still wish we werent pigeonholed into being shadowbolt turrets though.

There's an interesting post in teh warlock forums with a long list of proposed changes including, talent changes for reduced threat, stackable dots (I really like that one), and making dark pact a trainable talent (improve mana efficiency).

Sums it up pretty good here:

If most of these get implemented, I'd consider playing again.

Not gonna happen. They somehow think that your dots being taken off is justified.

Didn't you hear? They aren't actually getting knocked off its just a display bug!!

[Jedus]

Heh that's only for buffs he said.

So you lose more life and gain more mana? People are gonna be losing like 700hp per tap.....Would've been cool if it only gave you more mana :)

Would have yeah.. but they're trying to justify Plaguehearts 2 piece bonus I'm thinking.
