Whats this broken life siphon ability? Vampiric Aura

I see nothing about it in the patch notes, Vampiric Aura , you and your pet siphon life on every attack with a .5s icd.

It's a necro trait. Are you new to the game?

ahh, I wasn't aware a necro can share that ability.

@Xtinct.7031 Don't troll us bro! :)

Gotta understand the circumstances, I downed a necro that was afk. Zerker soulbeast lays into me during stomp animation from 900 range, so all I see is the soulbeast and his pet getting vampiric aura procs. No idea necro shared this passively and at that range.

It literally says aura in the name. In almost every RPG that has ever been made auras apply to groups. Its a basic RPG design concept at this point.

New to the game i assume.Necro can share that, its like spotter on ranger. It applies to allies as long as you live (downstate counts).In addition to that Sbeast can proc multiple heal and lifesteal effects that keep them alive.

As other's have already explained what the ability is, I'll merely add that this is the first time I've ever heard Vampiric Aura referred to as 'broken.' :astonished:

It's broken. Makes it twice now. Can we need it please; while we're at it?
