Being one of only two classes in the game able to use pets gives Warlocks some unique strategies they can employ.
My favorite Warlock strategy is the ”Oh *$&% strategy“.
Being in command of a pet like a voidwalker gives us the unique opportunity to get out of a bind like no other class can… like when you accidentally pull three elites, when you only meant to pull one, or when you get impatient and try and gallop through a zone densley populated with mobs, only to find you’ve made a few unwelcome “friends”.
Unlike fear based techniques to get yourself out of a losing fight, pulling this strategy off means an almost guaranteed exit to freedom… freedom from corpse runs, that is!
Here’s how my “Oh *$&% strategy” for Warlocks works.
- Enter unwanted, unwinnable fight or situation – don’t worry, this is the easy part.
- Start running away, and then make your voidwalker passive, to ensure he runs up along side you like a good little dog, ready to accept his soon to be fatal command.
- Once your pet runs up alongside your Warlock, wait for all your unwanted friends to start attacking you, and then set him back onto the defensive.
- You’ll find your pet (hopefully you’re using a voidwalker), will then automatically group taunt, leaving you running free… and your unfortunate pet left for dead.
Just remember — that pet of yours is not your character. He can die a thousand times and it wouldn’t matter.
“But I don’t have any soul stones left” I hear you cry… well, that’s no excuse. Your imp is free, and he’ll happily help you kill a single mob that will let you reclaim a soul stone!
So the next time you’re in a sticky situation… remember, use your pet the way it was meant to be used – as a powerful, helpful, essential… but utterly expendable asset which you can always use to get out of tight spots if you follow my straight forward advice!
