what good is this thing? when do you consistently use succubus? imp for dungeons/raids? blueberry for soloing and felhunter for pvp/raids? when is succubus more efficient than the others?
PVP 10 char
The succubus saved my group in gnomer yesterday. We had like no cc but it was able to seduce targets and it helped a ton
15 seconds of a humanoid mob or PvP player not attacking you
Succubus is great for CC’ing adds in dungeons. Good Locks will see mobs (pats) that are going to add and preemptively start casting the succubus seduction ability until the group can get to it. It is also great for CC’ing in pvp. Your imp is your best dps pet. And also good for removing negative effects.
Added CC in dungeons and wonderful if you play Destruction in PVP.
I used to double CC with her and fear.
- mark the mob you’ll fear
- mark the one to be seduced
- war pull
3.1) shadowbolt the one to be feared - press seduce
- Run way back
- fear
Your main job is to control. Dps when the warrior catches the feared one
seduce oponent…
look at them dead into their eyes as you cast a MASSIVE conflagrate crit!
In some group comps, there isn’t a lot of CC. The succubus and fellhunter are CC for warlocks. If your party doesn’t have a lot of CC, it might be worth the drop in dps to summon one. In Vanilla, CC is an important tool for instances and a lot of people haven’t cottoned onto its utiltiy.
I used to use her to seduce the rogues while I bandage and laugh in front of them real quick after they blew all their cooldowns trying to stunlock me down; Orc Demo-Engineerig Lock, right before I then used my felhunter to eat their face off.
Considering she does something rediculous like three times the damage of a void walker, holds aggro as well, can seduce adds if humanoid, can interrupt casters if humanoids, never really uses significant amounts of her mana (so unlike the imp she can keep putting out damage full time, even on a feared mob, and also be a reliable dark pact mana battery), and is way better for pvp if an opposing faction member jumps you:
Imo she is a significantly better pet for leveling and soloing
You mean soulfire!
As already stated, Succubus can charm/seduce. It’s useful for cc in both PvP and PvE. Nothing more annoying than being chain seduced during a PvP battle…
Utilize fear and curse of recklessness for added CC. Curse of reck makes the mob immune to fear. So you can fear the target then when the mob gets far then cast reck on it so it runs back to you then replace reck with agony and fear takes effect again. Rinse and repeat and you can literally turn fear on and off on the mob at will to keep it from fear running into other groups.
The succubus has the CC as people said.
It’s also your pure DPS pet. At least in terms of groups and such. In raids, AOE damage’ll likely kill her.
You can totally use succubus if you want, its about the same dps as the imp with the 2 destruction talents. It just doesn’t have the group wide buff which some people might complain for.
They are good at dirty deeds but remember and I can’t reiterate this enough. The dirty deeds of a succubus don’t come dirt cheep.
Dirty deeds but not done dirt cheep
