Can someone tell me which warlock spells other than Void Contract eat the caster's health? I have read all the tooltips on all my spells yet when I conduct a test with a training monkey, I'm dying and I can't tell what spell it is that's causing me to lose health. Any help is appreciated.
Checking on an Immortal Heroic Training Dummy, Bulwark of Mana did give me a health hit, but it doesn't show up in ACT at all. ACT recorded no health hits from Mana Trickle of Void Contract, nor did I see any in my health bar. Bulwark of Mana consumes 30% of the sorceror's power and 10% of their health to protect the group from magical damage (AA). Mana Trickle says "Replenishes power over time for a short duration to target ally, at the cost of slowly draining the warlock's health." but when you look at the Effects in the Examine window, there is no indication of any damage to the warlock. Void Contract says "Converts some of the warlock's health into power" but when you look at the Effects in the Examine window, there is no indication of any damage to the warlock.
I'm playing on Kaladim, so I don't even have Bulwark of Mana yet. I set up a training monkey, turned on ACT and ran the following sequence: Focused casting Netherlord 3 Gift of Bertoxx 4 Catalyst Freehand Sorcery Arcane Bewilderment Netherealm 2 Plaguebringer Dark Infestation 2 Flames of Velious 3 Encase 5 Aura of Void 4 Thunderclap Distortion 5 Dark Pyre 6 Acid 7 Dissolve 8 And I'm dead in under 2 minutes..this is driving me nutz !!!! lol Any other ideas how I can isolate what's happening? Thanks.
I would look carefully at your equipment. There is some equipment that inflicts big damage on the wearer, such as the level 70 Bloodthirsty Choker.
Appreciate the assistance... just checked all my slots...nothing but spell potency modifiers....could I be bugged? ACT isn't showing any incoming damage either.
Ooh, good question! Most warlocks take Ethereal Chains for the deaggro, also it's very long range, but yup, Sanguine Sacrifice could be a problem.
Catalyst sacrifices 20% of your health. Although I'm not sure how that would kill you in 2 minutes since the recast is 1 minute.
Oddly, even Bulwark of Mana doesn't show on incoming damage in ACT, and Void Contract and Mana Trickle likewise show no incoming damage. Near as I can tell, Bulwark of Mana was the only spell I tested that was doing actual damage to my warlock, but I couldn't find it in the parse at all. I'd be interested in seeing the OP's ACT parse details as well.
