HELP warlock problems (we arent always OP)

i am a void walker, i have life steal active as my skill for energy drain, and then i have embrace the void active as my skill on the far right of the tree. embrace the void clearly states: "damaging enemies with nova bomb or any grenade triggers the energy drain effect" and my energy drain effect is life steal, so why is damaging enemies with my grenades or killing with nova bomb not restoring my life at all? when it says trigger the energy drain effect does it just mean that it "reduces the cooldown of your grenade" if it just reduces the cooldown of my grenade like basic energy drain does, then the skill embrace the void is severly underpowered, and virtually useless. HELP

    Ok so the system works like this. 1. You have a perk called "Energy Drain" the text description for this perk is " A Powerful melee attack that drains energy from enemies and uses it to reduce the cooldown of your grenade". The Energy Drain effect is in that description. Additional perks in the same column do not change this effect but merely have another effect triggered by the same action that triggers Energy Drain. 2. You are using the perk "Embrace the Void". The text description for this is "Damaging enemies with Nova Bomb or any grenade triggers the Energy Drain effect. What the combination of these two means is that Grenades and Nova Bomb will trigger the Energy Drain Effect. This is not extended to the Surge, Life Steal, or Soul Rip effects as they are triggered only by a melee attack in parallel with Energy Drain but not as a supplement to it. This is intended functionality. Hope that helps explain this.

    • The energy drain effect is not the same as energy drain. The abilities from in the Energy Drain tree(Surge, Life Steal and Nova Bomb CD reduction) only trigger from the Energy Drain ability(ie. Using your melee ability). The energy drain effect is the reduction in your grenade cool down.
