Soulshatter is a warlock spell which reduces aggro on all targets within 50 yards by 90%.

Notes

An orc warlock shattering someone's soul.
  • This spell requires 4% of the warlock's base health. If the 4% base-health requirement is not met, the spell can not be cast.
  • Soulshatter cannot miss.
  • Soulshatter cannot be resisted.
  • While there are a few abilities in the game that cause damage to the caster, Soulshatter is one of the few abilities that costs health to use.

Tips and tactics

Soulshatter is best used in conjunction with a party or raid running threat meters. This way, the warlock can raise their threat to just over the main tank's, then use Soulshatter to drastically lower it. Soulshatter is more effective when used late in a boss fight rather than early due to the amount of threat built up during the fight.
