Official expansion talent previews

[Lissa]

Soloing with the Voidwalker? Hmm. Isn't your basic grinding build either Dark Pact or Demonic Sacrifice(VW)? I just open with Shadow Bolt, Immolate, and 3x DoTs and ignore that mob while I put 3 DoTs on another.

It's my opinion that the Voidwalker can't hold aggro against any mob you're actually damaging fast enough to be 'grinding' and his only use is to hold off a mob you've left basically untouched if you pulled one mob too many.

Anyhow your post does remind me - what about the poor Succubus and Voidwalker? The Imp is made more viable with Mana Feed (OOM being his main problem) but if there's something that makes the Succ and Voidwalker good pets for solo-60-farming (let alone instances) I missed it. I guess Mana Feed helps there too, but Blue is just not well suited to his ostensible role, tanking. Neither is the Succ's DPS significant post-60, even though she is the melee-DPS pet.

One thing that Demonology needs is something that improves pets with your gear, somehow. A talent or
talents that adds a % of your HP and/or some of your +dam to the pet.

I agree that the 2 new debuffs will probably not find a place in raids. Can't have a Warlock using 5-6 debuff slots out of 40, really. But each Warlock should be able to get a Curse and Corruption (or other magic debuff) on the target, and that's a good thing.

The problem with that is what about the Warlocks coming up to 60 that haven't raided? There's still going to be looking Dungeon Set 2 as their best setup for gear and with the additional DoTs, Blueberry has even less chance of holding aggro. Those Warlocks that don't have the raid instance gear will have more downtime grinding if they use DS because they won't be getting back as much Health as a raid geared Warlock and also will be spending more mana casting spells as their +damage isn't as high to kill the mobs sooner.

And I agree, Demonolgy does need a talent(s) that scales the pets better. The three individual talents don't allow the pets to scale. Maybe they should change Fel Intellect and Fel Stamina to pull a percentage of your Int and Stamina onto the pets.
