First of all, nice work on fixing a lot of the pet issues.
Imp is awesome. I am very happy with the changes to him. It does actually allow the Imp to come out of phase to attack. I have not fully tested him, but so far he seems pretty awesome.
A couple of things I would request though, and that would be to allow him to be buffed while phased. It will be rather annoying to have to ask again for buffs on him because he was phased. Allowing him to phase while in combat would be cool to, for those rather nasty stages that bosses have.
Voidwalker changes seem to be pretty good also.
Succubus is ok as well.
Felguard I cannot comment on as I have never used one on live.
Infernal is now no longer useless. The only crappy part is you give up your pet for the 1 min of dps that he allows. Most locks have to now spend 10 seconds re summoning their pet. It would be nice to somehow allow us to get our pet back after the infernal despawns.
Doomguard is still useless. :(
Felhunter has some interesting qualities now. Fel Intelligence makes it seems that Bliz is pushing for Affliction Warlocks to use this pet instead of the imp. Since destro will gain damage from their imp attacking, affliction will also now gain some pet dps from having our puppy attack to gain his mana back from Shadow Bite. Interesting concept for sure.
Is Shadow Bite enough to regain the mana that we tap from Dark Pact? I'm not sure it is. So far I have been tapping from my Imp, and then letting him regen. But we won't really have our Felhunter sit around and regen mana like the inactive imp was. Our Felhunter is off biting and using mana for other things... it seems our Felhunter is out of mana way more often then any other pet so far :( I've noticed that there was NO change to the Felhunters mana regen, health, armor or any other base stat like our other pets received. Was he just forgotten?
Well I just may have to stick with the Imp for the mana battery instead of trying out this new Felhunter style.
