Not using voidwalker? - Page 3

Nah, still using my void

As far as using imp and HoT to dot 4-7 mobs, i find it messy and where i grind there are about 50/50 melees and casters so fearing em around even with CoEx gets "messy" when i have to do so... i like control, therefore i use CoEx with fear, CoW with melees who i can't bother to fear, and every spell and curse i have (UA, Siphon,no iHot etc).

I've tried every pet we have, and apart from elite demons i like Void best for pve and Succy for pvp, those just suit my style and mood best as it is now.
btw, i don't wait for torments, why would i? i CoE=> siphon=>UA=>Corruption=>Lifetap=>Immolate=> drain life and soul in the end if i need em, when my dots pass it on threatmeter they are already dead, saves demons health if they stop hitting it and "decide" to die running instead. I get less kills per hour, granted, but i never get hit and almost never die. Tried it on pvp too but i like succy more, with good rogue that -10% didn't make me reach old age...

Personnally I use my void for farming and dailies. Im destro spec and the mana usage with SB keeps me drinking too much. I curse/dot and drain and I can go for at least 3 times longer before I have to drink.

The reason most 70 Warlocks don't use the VW is that it's pointless--we always end up tanking the mobs ourselves anyway. And if a VW can't hold aggro, it's useless. Better to have a pet with some utility.

I use either the imp or the felhunter, most often the felhunter unless I am not fighting any casters at all. Then I use the imp on passive, phase shifted (I'm Affliction with Dark Pact). I love the felhunter for the Shattered Sun dailies because of the prevalence of casters the Felpup can debuff and silence.

i completely agree w/ Holdwine and pretty much do the same thing as him. not long after turning 70, i found that my VW couldn't hold agro long enough to get all my DOTs on a mob. plus, he's really kinda squishy now too. i also found that i've come to a level of gear where dotting up trash mobs is pointless even though i'm Affliction.

my trash spell rotation has become:
felpup attack - UA - CoElem - SB - Shadowburn - DS

I personally like to do dailies with my succubus (most of those guys are humanoids anyway)...will have to drink maybe thrice until I get to do the Naganagas.
Used my fury-specced warrior for farming..destro locks are no fun in that case. :(
