Frankly the best pet for in nonraid instances
Thottbot > Comments > Pets > Imp
I wouldn't agree. if i'm in any instance - raid or no - i always use the imp. stacking with Power Word: Fortitude, blood pact's +42 stamina (+54 with improved imp) is no freakin joke, man. across the 5 people it buffs, that's a good 2.5k health.
out of instances though, Voidwalker ftw. imp-void by Brenman, Score 0.00 which pet to use? by glen123, Score 0.00
Anyone ever have this problem. My imp does absolutely nothing. Whether I put him on offense or defense. Ask him to attack or follow. He's just dead space. Any ideas on what I can do?
I use the succubus always, even grinding. I spec in Demonology and solo lvl60 elites @lvl58 727xp a kill without double xp. only use the VW for early lvling. The faster you master playing with the succubus the quicker you'll will find out about easy xp. in raid groups with a warrior and a Paladin I get BOM and battle shout and my pet alone does over 106 DPS
Affiction is best but not for grinding :)

I love to use the Imp for instances mainly because of two things:
1. The commonly referred to Blood Pact 2. DARK PACT!! My imp has about twice my spirit so i just draw from him to fill my mana, kill everything, and by the time everyone is dead I can just suck the mana out of the imp again! However, out of instances, it's pretty good in PvP (depends on build) but almost never used solo'ing.
It's an extra hand just to walk around with as a bodyguard if you can't be bothered to stop and fight.Many times my Imp has distracted a creature long enough for me to get away and carry on to where I want to go.Plus he's the only one who talks to you,even though most of it's sayings are insults...
I've been looking for pics of every warlock pet so if you've got any please post them.

Imp's great for instances w/ tight corners and halls where it's hard enough for your party to see w/o having to navigate around your Void. Although don't solo w/ him too much since he is a one-hit weakling who will die and leave you running for your life or spreading Fear like crazy...
Void is great solo for the agro pulling and the beating it can withstand..I use exclusively until my Suc learns Seduction; after this you have the slightly longer lasting Imp with nice Lash damage as well as the power to seduce which is a great Fear-type distraction that will not cause your enemies to flee and bring back 5 of their friends.

It's clear none of u is used to play in 20/40 man raid , where Imp is the only pet u r able to use. Ok , if u r Master D. and want to increase your dmg , then Succ is ok , but again is just having a pet out for a buff.
Imp is much more usefull for Raid overall , and if u r MD , then u'll get a threat reduction in addition to HP boost. Imp = Raid pet Vw = solo pet Felhunter = Caster killer Succ = CC/PvP
Ok I can't understand how every player sees it this way. It seems oh so many players forget about VW's Sacrifice and Succubus's Seduction.
Instance = Imp for Stamina buff Solo = VW for tank WSG or AV = Felhunter Thats how most warlocks think, or so it seems. Yeah the Imp's Stamina buff makes over 500 more HP difference for players but I don't like do use him, he's no DPS after so many shots when he's outta mana, as usual. I prefer to use Succubus for Instances if they are primarily humanoids. LBRS is best example. Generally mobs are in a 4 man group. You have your mage poly, rogue sap another, and this is where I use Succubus's Seduce. By the time the 1st mob is dead the seduce expires, by the time that mob is dead sap expires, by the time that ones dead, poly expires. Plus the DPS is way better with her crits. Let's not forget how this solution against humanoids is the safest and prevents the healer from wasting a SS use because everybody gets owned by adds. Only time I use Void in instances is if I know sacrifice is mandatory, such as fighting Drakk in UBRS, or if you wanna be precautious and have a backup tank to buy you time for addiotional mobs that will come with the pull. Now as far as PvP goes, why do most think Felhunter is beneficial? Yeah it helps spot rogues faster but he hasn't saved my butt as much as VW has. Think about it, Healthstone + Major Healing Pot + Sacrifice = 5690 additional hitpoints (if you used talents on HS & Void). I've had so many more WSG matches where I used Void for a sacrifice & came out with way fewer deaths & alot more kills opposed to using Fel. Heres how I use it and have had a better success rate. Also to mention that I am a Destruction Warlock and not Demonology, so I am looking more at DPS than rejuvinating my mana from Dark Pact. With such high DPS additional mana isn't a necessity. Besides, you have Life Tap anyway. Instances: Succubus for humanoids and non-AoE mobs Imp rarely unless requested VW For bosses, Sacrifice will prevent your from getting owned if your tank loses agro(don't forget about Abysll Shard saves you from usin shards & mana so if you are thinking I must go through shards like crazy, I don't, only supplying HS's & SSing the healer kills shard supply) PvP: VW for sacrifice, no point in usin him for DPS as we all know Succubus if I want the best DPS. She outdoes Imp because faster attacks, and that leads to more crits to begin with compared to Imp's firebolt. Felhunter rarely, once in awhile I use him for DPS, or if there are alot of rogues I'm up against, which is rare.

As im a 54 lock at Blackrock server...till now i never get too much ganked by no one by my prefered pet...the word is for MIGHTY IMP.
Now listen to me carefully...i was first a demonologist lock then decided to reset them to destruction even in soloing.When u enter the 2 points to Imp's Firebolt reducing it from 2secs to 1sec!Now think how much dmg and aggro does ur imp do then you.Most of all killings of mobs he gets aggro to much and its almost immuneable to steal that damn imps got aggro.But when u attack carefully.My shortest pvp kill is a 54 rogue (killed 3 times) is 5 sec by my imp and destruction talents.Thanks blizz to make locks too powerfull.As the blood pact when it combines at each raid/instances with any stamina buff, wow not imanigable.ALL THOSE ARTIFACTS SERVES AS IN PvE TOO!!!!

I've always used my imp since I can remember. Even after obtaining my VW, I barely used the VW. I would steal aggro from my VW all the time even at level 10 so I deamed the VW worthless. Succi is ok but her abilities aren't worth while, felhunter...kinda worthless since you can do much of the felhunters job with 2 different affliction spells put together, drain mana and curse of tongues. I'm an affliction lock, a grinder, and built primarily on stamina. I can kite, murder elites, have another enemy come at me after another (to a certain extent of 3-20 depending on what level, what race the enemy is, and if they are spellcaster or not), and have no pets help me out. this is basically my evaluation of the imp and gameplay:
1.Blood pact is completely invalueble. 2.Imp is the anti-melee pet because of fireshield acts like an extra DoT. 3.has the most mana and best regen out of all lock pets. 4.phaseshift makes the imp not obtain aggro and can't be hurt by anyone or anything unless the imp attacks (unlike the succubus). 5.(if you're affliction) dark pact helps make the pet more so your bestest best friend. 6.party/raid group pet. 7.improved imp is easilly obtainable and with 3/3 blood pact will give +90 stamina at level 70. 8.at level 64 fire shield gives +30 fire resistance. 9.imp does more damage then the VW does and can be further improved by casting a curse of elements on target. and finally 10. doesn't take a soulshard to cast and takes the least amount of mana to cast. If I've left something out or if you want a more indepth example of gameplay with your imp while you solo, contact me Redicuu on the Sen'jin server undead lock level 66. WTF by jakti, Score -1.1
If your pulling agro from VW then your attacking to soon.
Send off the VW let him hit it a few times to get some agro up, then dots. CoA, corruption then immolate. Life tap, life drain, drain soul (if needed). Rince,repeat. CoA = 24 secs Corruption = 18 secs Immolate = 15 secs You want to time it so these dots all end at the same time for maximum efficiency. While you running upto the mobs and looting, send you VW onto the next mob so you dont have to wait as long to start attacking. At level 50 you can get Felhunter in demonology. IMO its the best lvling/grinding pet there is. Much harder to pull agro from it than a VW. Just make sure you put at least 1 point into "mana feed" (preferably 2) or he will always be out of mana. dies easy as hell by mattz80, Score 0.46 Pets by whiteboy28, Score 0.45 Re: Imp by jsquires952, Score 0.45 Re: Imp by 5345f454f5435ftyry, Score 0.45
Definately, definately the best PvE pet for an Affliction Warlock, instance or no. This little guy regens mana almost faster than you can use it, boosts your health by a good margin and because of Phase Shift he'll always be there for you.
But what about the Voidwalker!, you ask? Grow some balls, man. Seriously, you're a freakin' Warlock! You've got Siphon Life, Drain Life, and if you're smart you're prioritizing Stamina over Intellect. 90% of the time (provided you have Fel Conc) you can heal damage faster than a yellow or even orange mob can dish it out. Add the 'Improved' talent and hit that up to 99% of the time. In the rare occasions you can't heal through the damage, use your Fears. If it's a crowded area try Deathcoil - it keeps your target fairly close. Somewhat ironically, the only really useful thing the Voidwalker helps with is world PvP - that sacrifice can make a huge difference when you get jumped.
i am no longer an affliction lock, but if you are one imp is by far best pet. if im not mistaken it probably is for destruction locks too. I am a lev 70 Demonology lock though so i have felguard, which is by far the best pet. thinking of re-speccing for lev 70 BGs and arena though.

OK seriously people this is what i do with my minions first off
Imp - yes he's good with blood pact and phase shift and if you're afflict dark pact makes him a good mana pot voidwalker - yes sacrifice is good but the void sucks for aggro so you're constantly under attack succubus - has good dps but dies way too fast and seduction doesn't hold very well felhunter - not good unless you're dueling do not use for soloing or in instances for that matter i am currently a lvl 70 demo lock with my felguard on Chromaggus and by far the felguard is the best pet ever Re: Imp by Asklom, Score 0.00 Re: Imp by JonFawcett, Score 0.00 Add Comment
