I cannot do any solo content without him going from 100 to 0 in a matter of seconds. its not fun whatsoever to have to use health funnel after every pull. And this is just during normal leveling questing. I cannot imagine what he’s gonna be like in torghast. Remember the days when he was an actual tank? Now, he’s completely worthless. Like, i dont understand why they would nerf him like that.

Yeah, it was this way in early bfa, too.

Try playing Demo, Felguard is a wet tissue paper, health funnel is literally part of my rotation and I have the potency conduit so he receives 7.5% less damage…

and fix the range on the voids aoe taunt. My God that crap is so annoying I switched to demo. Felguard dies quicker imo as demo doesn’t have the faster cast and constant damage destro hits for building the shield. Which is an easy fix for the other 2 specs… just adjust the absorb rate our spells give it to be in par. Would fix pet problems. Or should you take the talent demon skin make the pets sheild passively recharge at 1 - 2% instead. With our stat squish the shield could use a buff

I went into Torghast and got through the whole thing easily. When I got to Synod, I was able to get a couple of hits, pop my demons and let loose on Synod only to see my Felguard drop so fast. I went from casting spells to funneling health and then draining over and over. My Felguard dropped dead, I got a summon in but died so quick.
Long story short, yeah all the tank ones are squishy and it is irritating.
SO here I was level 51 and thinking…wth they talking about?
Then I hit 54…
Not touching my lock until they fix this crap. And a side note the special “demonology only” pet should be different. Should have the defense of blueberry with DPS.
This happened to me at lvl 58 once I hit Revendreth. Like as my haste dropped… my VW got weaker, though it’s not terrible. I’ve been cautious though.
Guys play affliction and you can easily pull 6-8 mobs at a time depending on the type of mob. There are some nasty ones like the red nameplated bulls in maldraxxus but for the most part you can do what I said.
Pull everything with curse of agony while your voidwalker is on assist. As they all group up throw out a seed of corruption and then vile taint. Then you spam the hell out of rupture. This should kill most mobs easily, though you will have to make sure that your voidwalker starts each pull with full health. The last suggestion is to make sure you have inevitable demise talent. So even if your vw dies you will have a large amount of stacks on this to keep yourself alive. If you do all this you shouldn’t have much of an issue anymore.

As affliction, I haven’t really had a problem so far. I’m pulling 3+ mobs at a time. I health funnel from time to time, but its rarely an issue. I definitely do not think he is as robust as hunter pets for sure though.

I gave up voidwalker leveling in BfA and never looked back.
I hope people are just going out and testing my post and not just ignoring it. Sure the voidwalker is a bit squishy but you can easily use him to set up large groups of enemies to cleave down with maelific rapture.
Idk, not to be weird but I don’t have any issues. Beat both layer 3 torgasts with my big blueberry and I solo stuff all the time. I throw up dots on 3-5 dudes and MR them all down. Rinse and repeat. I had no issue when I first hit 60 even though a lot of my guild was grouping up.
voidwalker is supposed to work like this, you are NOT a tank
I’ve easily soloed all 3 person quests I’ve come across with my void. Just proper management.

Voidwalker is fine. Use health funnel more. Thats why you have that ability.
In Torghast tonight I got the anima power “Summon Pets now casts instantly”. During the last boss fight, after I summoned my 4th or 5th voidwalker the taunt would be resisted/immune. I dont think there should be DR on the taunt, but whatever. Thanks have a good one
