Which Pets? pvp & bg

wayneyoung · June 30, 2007, 08:56 AM

I was wondering which pets are best utilized in PVP and BG situations?

I am a level 54 Warlock and have maybe done 30 mins worth of BG in the last 4 months and basically have -0- experience in BG and PVP.

Are pets a valuable resource in the particular aspects of the game and if so could you guys and gals give me a few examples of how to use them?

I currently have the following pets:

Imp

Voidwalker

Succubus

Fel Hunter

Fel Guard

Inferno

Lets see here.

Imp- Maybe if you had Dark Pact, but since you can't, just don't bother

Voidwalker- No, just no. All he is good for is a shield, and since you need a pet to get the most out of your tree, don't use it.

Succubus- She has some CC with seduction, and she gets rogues that sneak up on me fairly often (like 6/10 sneak attacks, she helps me survive.)

Felhunter- use him for casters and just about nothing else, since on melee classes, all he can do is use his sub par auto attack.

Felguard- This guy is pretty useful in most situations. With intercept, he can cancel enemy casts and stun more dangerous opponents. With Cleave, this guy hits pretty hard. He is pretty much the only demon pet that you have that people can't ignore. Sadly, at your level, he is missing out on Demonic Frenzy (level 56) and Avoidance(level 60), so he won't be as powerful as he could be.

Infernal- Maybe to freak out the competition a little because no one every summons an infernal in a BG. The few times I summoned him he got killed in like 10 seconds, but he gave one heck of a good laugh because I had spawned him in the alliance graveyard on Warsong. But in general don't summon this pet.

Depends if you're on O or D- on D i summon my void, then sac when the horde mass on me and insta-cast my felguard- takes some by surprise as they expect only and inexperienced or destrolock to have their void out. On O its felguard on aggressive all the way- no time to micro-manage your minions in BG usually so let him mix it up to his hearts content and focus on survival.
