Improved Drain Mana

Improved Drain Mana is a warlock talent in the Affliction tree. It enhances Drain Mana by adding Shadow damage to its mana drain.

• In an earlier version, unskilled Drain Mana did not break crowd control, whereas Improved Drain Mana did. This has been changed, so that it breaks CC regardless of this talent.
• The damage caused by this talent draws extra aggro, which may be bothering.
• It does not benefit from spell damage or Shadow damage.

• The extra damage bonus could be helpful, if a player used Drain Mana often. However, its damage is pretty weak and does not benefit from spell damage, making it less desirable for better geared players.
• It is very important to note that this does not increase the mana given back by Drain Mana, it only adds a damage element. If you wanted to do damage while gaining mana, it may be more effective to use Drain Life in combination with Life Tap.
