Haunt is a talented warlock ability that causes direct damage and places a debuff on the target, amplifying DoTs (including [Immolate]) cast on it. When the spell duration is over, it returns the amount of damage the Haunt spell itself caused (not the DoTs amplified, only the direct damage) as a heal.

Notes

• Its direct damage can crit, and does so for 150% of its normal damage.
• When cast on a target that already has a Haunt debuff, it causes the healing effect to trigger early.

Tips and tactics

• When soloing, casting this spell on mobs tagged by other players grants you a quick and strong heal and gives them a hand killing the mobs. Everyone's happy this way!
• This is a great spell for warlocks in arena. Aside from boosting a 'lock's DoTs, the heal it provides can occasionally save lives.
• In PvE, this spell is to be kept up on a boss target at all times, significantly boosting the Affliction Warlock's overall single-target DPS (if complicating his rotation).
