Drain Life and spec trees

Hello,

I'd like to know if/how Drain Life is working with some of the spe tree abilities :

-Selfless Ally (from PRE)
-PRE mastery
-whole Sentry tree, especially its crit-based stuff

Thanks in advance.

Shep

PS: additional info & comments on other spec trees interacting w/ Drain Life welcomed too.

    My EDIT gets ignored so here it is:

    NOTE/EDIT: for clarity and search Friendliness, several questions imply Vampiric Sympathy adv.

    Also, any input on maxing PRE for Grandeur and/or gear_offense to feed Repurpose and "Guardicator" loop ? Significant gain on both sides of Drain Life ?

    I know that vampiric sympathy's friend healing works with Presence Mastery. Bubbles all affected friendlys. That means it is considered "direct healing".
    Squishy DPS builds that can solo QWZ w/videos.
    My super cool CC build and how to use it.

    afaik, it interacts w/ all of those things. Another quirk is that, like for DE, the heal tick is linked to the dmg tick- meaning if the dmg tick crits, then heal tick will crit as well. That means if ya want to raise LD's crit-heal rate, ya want increases to (single-target) damage crit%, and not specifically to heal crit%.

    Great, thanks folks.

    I may post the unfinished build making heavy use of LD soon. Main hesitation is going Guardicator or ... Sentrycator :)

    Sad to say, but honor does NOT proc on drain w/vampiric advantage. I recently respec'd and ran out of the powerhouse to catch a rampage so Fate has it and it does not work.

    I wouldn't take Honor w/ LD even if it worked- as a maintain, the dmg boost would be small since it could only affect a minority of ticks.

    Thanks for testing that, though.
