Felguard Cleave

Tazu · January 09, 2007, 10:42 AM

According to the website description for this power ....
Requires Level 50

295 Mana

5 yd range

Instant cast

6 sec cooldown

A sweeping attack that does your weapon damage plus 32 to the target and his nearest ally.

Trainable Ranks Listed Below:
Rank 2: 295 Mana, plus 50 damage
Rank 3: 295 Mana, plus 78 damage

My question is .... Does that mean your average damage range of your weapon? Having said that .. would it be wiser to get a high warlords staff with higher dps over a spellblade because of the cleave damage boost?

It's not the warlock's weapon, it's the Felguard's weapon. You see his range of attack on your pet screen.

You can increase his attack power by getting more +Spell damage gear

Thanks Red, appreciate you clearing that up for me. That makes much more sence.

Give the FG enough mana and you get an extra attack from it every 6 seconds,that's Cleave.

Improved Life tap + the talent (can't remember atm) that gives the felguard 100% of the mana you get and you have a pet that is constantly cleaving. The damage is out of this world.

I also noticed that in blizards UI it shows that your +Shadow Damage increases your pets attack power by...

Even more reason I think to get more shadow damage gear.

The only unfortunate side effect is that cleave doesn't work on your opponent and his nearest ally. It will hit anything you aren't "friendly" with.

A good example of why this can suck is AV. The wolves are neutral, sometimes they wander into range of cleave and then you've aggro'd the frostwolf. Which isn't that big of a deal, but it's annoying.

So be careful using it in the proximity of nuetral mobs. Especially factions you're trying to gain rep with.

It's kind of funny when a bunny bounces into range, and dies, but I'd rather have it obey the spell description.

Yeah, when raiding I turn off cleave and anguish on the felguard. After breaking a sheep with cleave a couple of times you can imagine the comments from the rest of the raid. As for anguish, I see no use for it in raid unless the felguard is tanking for us.

Why should I disable the cleave ability on my FG? To have it off-tank in instances without getting as much aggro (then,I guess I should also disable taunt)? Or maybe just to save mana,in order to have Intercept always available? But my FG has plenty of mana,thanks to mana feed. Am I not giving away half the pet's dps by disabling cleave?
