As a Warlock in Azeroth your pet is almost as important to you as
anyHunter’s pet. Not only can your pet save you in a pinch
(thank you tanking Voidwalker) but they also can provide a substantial
DPS boost when used properly. So continue reading on as we delve into
some of the basic information relating to World of War…lock
pets.
name="imp" id="imp">Imp
Each new Warlock will be provided with an Imp as soon as their
character is created, making the Imp the first pet the Warlock has
access to. However, don’t write the Imp off simply because of
its easy availability as it can prove to be a quite useful, even if you
can’t manage to pronounce its name.

excellent tank against non-elite mobs making this pet excellent for

Available at level 50 the Infernal has it’s own spell (Summon
Infernal) to be summoned unlike the other four regular Warlock
pets. The Infernal can be summoned once every 10 minutes and
is under the command of the Warlock for 45 seconds. While an Infernal
is active the Warlock can also retain control of one of the other
regular Warlock pets (Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter, or
Felguard).
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/91790">
Unlike the pets mentioned previously the Infernal has no Warlock
controlled abilities. Once summoned the Infernal will use a spell
called Immolation, which is a passive ability that deals AoE fire
damage based on the Infernal's spell power every 2 seconds.
Strengths
- Can tank multiple mobs.
- Useful to take out large
groups of mobs or players.
- Does large amounts of melee
and AoE damage.

the Warlock for 45 seconds.
- Long cooldown.
- Can be banished by other
Warlocks.
Only summon able by Demonology Warlocks the Felgaurd, unlike the
Infernal, acts as a permanent pet. Demonology Warlocks will gain access
to this pet the moment they choose to spec into the Demonology tree.

name="doom" id="doom">Doomguard
The Doomguard is arguably the most powerful of all the
Warlock’s minions and becomes available for use at level 60.
The Doomgaurd can be summoned once every 10 minutes and lasts for 45
seconds. The Doomguard spell has a shared cooldown with the Infernal.
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/91787">
Like the Infernal, the Doomguard, has no Warlock controllable
abilities. However, once summoned, the Doomguard will attack any target
that is afflicted by your Bane of Doom or Bane of Agony spells. The
Doomguard can be used while other regular Warlock pets (Imp,
Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter, or Felguard) are active.
Strengths
- Considered the most powerful
Warlock pet.
- Can stun enemies.
- Slows enemies movement speed.
- Highly resistant to magic.
Weaknesses
- Not able to be controlled by
the Warlock.
- Can be Banished.
- Long summoning cooldown.
Enslave
Demon
On top of the pets mentioned above Warlocks also have the ability to
enslave various Demons that can found while adventuring in Azeroth. To
do this the Warlock need only use the “Enslave
Demon” ability which becomes available at level 30. However,
this is a risky business as eventually the spell will come to
an end. Once this happens the Warlock will find his or herself faced
with a very unhappy Demon that is bent on taking you out.
While this is easily taken care of normally it is suggested and
considered good etiquette that all enslaved demons be released (with
fair warning) between fights while in a group setting. This will
prevent the demon from causing unneeded chaos that could result in the
death of your entire group. If you have the space and time a great way
to dispose of your enslaved demon is to order it to stay then run away.
