What bug is this?
Other than breaking too quickly after out of range.

Wasn't sure about that being the case on retail, but

at 4:37 proves that it should have some leeway.

P.s, SL/NF is pretty awful unless all you do is world pvp versus non dispelling classes :\

This is not true, however Drain life itself breaks way too early when a feared mob leaves it's cast range. Add to that, that fear pathing is glitchy as hell and you start having a pretty big problem, especially now that VW threat is completely broken.

I made a thread about it but it's pending mod approval. Basically:

SM affects corruption, but not drain life, siphon life, curse of agony. Haven't looked at shadowbolt

Rank 4 drain life (level 38) drains 41 health at default. With imp drain life it's 45-46 (because 41*.1 = 4.1 which is 45.1) I have 3 points into SM so that should be an extra 2.46 damage. It should show 47-48 damage but it doesn't. It shows 45-46 on the tooltip.

All of you claiming it isn't broken: Have you tried it out yourself? I'm not going to recreate my thread in a single post, but I'll give you the same example with a screenshot:

Default Rank 3 drain life is 29 life drained. With improved drain its 31.9 but in this case the damage is rounded to 32. With 3 talents in SM it should be an extra 1.74 damage so 33.64. This is clearly not happening!

If this is somehow correct please explain, otherwise this is just a bug to me.
