Back up to 20% of damage taken transferred to active demon from 15% with patch 3.0.3.

Re: Soul Link

I voted this a 6 for leveling as an overall. It has higher importance if you're on a PvP server....9-10 maybe. For PvE, much lower.

Re: Soul Link

You don't cast it or you right clik the buff.
Correction to previous statement. Once cast it cannot be taken off until the demon is dead or has been dismissed. Sorry. I should have looked deeper into that question before I fired off an answer.

Re: Soul Link

For affliction (drain tank) leveling, this is a pretty important talent to have. It's basically giving you 20% more health to play with.

Plus by going 11 points into Demonology you pickup useful talents like Improved Health Funnel and Demonic Brutality, which are both useful for tanking elites with your Voidwalker. (Not required for tanking elites, but they make the job a whole lot easier.) It also sets you up to take 3 points in Demonic Aegis, which will boost your Fel/Demon Armor spells by up to 30%.

Just curious
Where it says "That damage can not be prevented"

What type of prevention does this actually remove.

Is it the pet that is Soul Linked that cant prevent the 20% damage that has gone to him.
or
Does it reduce some sort of prevention I have and still sends 20% of the damage to the Soul Linked pet

As you can see I am not entirely sure on this, hope you's can understand the question.

Re: Soul Link

It means that 20% of the damage done to you AFTER any other mitigation you might have, is done to the voidwalker instead.

so, say you get hit with a spell that would do 1200 damage and you resist 200 of that damage, that means that you will be hit for 800 damage and the voidwalker will be hit for 200.

that 200 is not mitigated by the void walkers resistances or armour.

hope that clears it up.

Re: Soul Link

If you're raiding with the 0/40/31 Decimation/Conflagrate build, Soul Link will help your healers out a lot in Ulduar. Specific fights where Soul Link has kept me alive in situations where raid damage would have killed me on multiple attempts include Razorscale, Deconstructor, Kologarn, Auriaya, Hodir, and Mimiron (especially phase 3/4).
