Wow Gold -- To Tank with Your Minions

For the Warlock in the World of Warcraft, your minions can mean the difference between you winning a battle and running from the graveyard. Warlock minions are used to win battles or to escape death. Every different minion has its own specialty and to make it stronger there are certain purchases to be made to make it stronger but the money is well worth it.

At level two, you'll get your first minion, which is your imp. Until level 10, this will become your best friend and will allow you one more person to help you in your fights and quests. The imp is sent to tank while other minions such as felguard, succubus, voidwalker, felhunter and other minions can control mobs while you cast spells from behind.

After you get past the imp, you are capable of sending your minion to tank for you. The voidwalker, succubus, felhunter, felguard, and any special minions, such as the infernal, can all be sent to take on a mob while you sit back and cast.

This saves you from damage, as the Warlock is a physically weak class since locks wear cloth. You should always get any new spells that you can, especially those that do damage over time, since you can cast these to help your minion while they are tanking for you. Each different minion will have special powers, spells, and abilities that can help you in each different situation.

You should get to know what kind of minion to use in every situation. Like for instance, the succubus' kiss can be used as a distraction while you inflict damage or use the voidwalker to draw mobs. Aside from the imp, the felhunter can also be used to tank but it cannot protect you when you are within the agro range and can also grant paranoia. Which minion is best in different situations, it is up to you. For instance, your voidwalker will help you draw the mobs and their fire from you with torment at the beginning. Your succubus can use her soothing kiss to distract them and alloy you to do great damage with your spells with humanoid mobs. Your felhunter can be used as a tank, although it can't keep the mobs off of you if you are in the aggro range. But, the felhunter does provide “paranoia” which helps you as well.

You will have to make use of your talent points in demonology so as to gain your Felguard. With any other talent spec, you won't get your felguard and you will be losing a powerful minion in the process. By the time that you get your felguard, you will also be high enough to be eligible for a special minion that does even more damage than the felguard.

To gain one of these special minions, you will have to complete a special set of quests that will take you all over the World of Warcraft and send you after unique items that will be used to help you conjure the one that you choose.

As your level increase, in turn your minions become more powerful. And, you should use each minion until you have a set path that you take each time you fight a mob, such as you send them in, cast spells in a certain order, and win. The more you practice with each minion, the better you will become at using them to tank for you, and having your own personal tank is priceless.

Once you have mastered your minions, you can start to run instances with them. When you are looking for a group to join, you will almost always get picked up quickly because you have your own tank. When you are running an instance, you should have the group leader mark the most powerful target for you to send your minion in to fight. This will also mark which mob is the most powerful for you, so you can cast all the DOT spells on it to help bring it down sooner. By using your minion as the tank for your group, you can allow other casters in the group to throw their best at the mob and keep all the damage on your minion.

You will need to watch for your minion's health when you are in battle. If you don't keep an eye on their health, your minion can be killed at a crucial time in battle and can cost you a fight if you aren't vigilant. You can use your life tap to give your minion health and allow them to keep fighting for you, and then restore your health when the fight is over.

There is one thing you should keep in mind that a Warlock can't survive in the WoW without miniuons no matter which one you prefer to. In the game, therefore, you should learn to tank with them and use them to your advantage through your time.
