Succubus - Soothing Kiss

This must account for the differences in our experiences with the Voidwalker.

I was using the same tactics prior to spending those talent points on the voidwalker, so I would say tactics make or break a pet more than anything. My purpose in bringing up a differing opinion is that there isn't one BEST pet as some readers are looking for, not that I think that anyone here is wrong. If the voidwalker doesn't work for you, don't use it. It works very well for me, so I have talented for that. I didn't, however, take a broken pet and make it work by spending two talent points.

My point to all of this (I know, it's hard for me to make) is that playstyle should detemine pet and talent allocation. The voidwalker clearly doesn't work for some of you, and thankfully the warlock has choices in pets to find the best match for how one likes to play. The voidwalker's damage is nearly useless, his only purpose is to hold aggro. If he can't hold aggro for how you play, then it's best to use something else, as he becomes useless (beyond sacrificing) when he's lost aggro. I see a lot of voidwalkers still in use by higher level warlocks than myself, so it works for more than just me. Again, no one is wrong, just that we're different.

Realm choice makes a difference here as well. The voidwalker is only good for sacrificing in PvP (I'm on a normal server) and I would probably go with the succubus on a PvP server for seduce, but this is my opinion and pure speculation as I have not played PvP.
