Tips and Tactics
Use this when an enemy is almost dead, but don't rely on it as a spell for pure damage. Most warlocks choose to keep using rank 1 of the spell, as its main purpose is to obtain a Soul Shard. Using Rank 1 is a lot more mana efficient, and assures you can cast it even when low on mana.
Use it on enemies that are green and you can farm Soul Shards easily.
It is advisable for warlocks to always keep a few Soul Shards available at all times. A lot of key spells require them.
Combined with the Affliction talent [Improved Drain Soul], you can gain back lots of mana for free simply by casting Drain Soul at the end of a fight. This works best when playing solo since you or your pet needs to land the killing blow.
