  • Health Funnel
  • Transferring health.
  • Duration: 5 seconds

Health Funnel is a warlock ability that allows them to transfer their own health to their pet. This ability can be invaluable for saving a dying demon.

Tips and tactics[]

  • Unlike First Aid, this spell generates threat for the warlock (although this may be desirable if the pet is dying anyway).
