What each rank of Soul Link does

This talent has one rank. The effect below uses the beta-client wording.

  1. Rank 1: When active, 30% of all damage taken by the caster is taken by your Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Incubus, or Felhunter Demon instead. In addition, both the Demon and the master will inflict 3% more damage. Lasts as long as the Demon is active.

How to reach it

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Demonology rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Soul Link, and you will need Demonic Sacrifice maxed first.

Is Soul Link worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. You also need to open row 5 (that is 20 points in the rows above), so take it when the talent or the picks it unlocks suits your build.
