Hey, just want to see some discussion about the suc as a raid pet.
The entire idea is to see your opinions and turn it over a bit. Really can't find many posts about this subject. Let's hear some pro's and con's.


Everybody agrees that the imp is a great raid pet due to 2 major things(and one lesser).
The imp gives a stam buff to party.
The imp is phaseshifted and is immune to alot of damage that way.
The imp gives threatreduction if demonology.

BUT.
The suc can debuff targets with : Soothing kiss, insta cast, 4 sec cooldown, 10 sec debuff. Lowers the mob's melee attack speed by 10%. Works on bosses. This is easily comparable to blood pact in ALOT of places (and superior as well in my opinion). 10% slower hits means lesser chance for the mt to be burst down(one of the attacks gets it's dps lowered by quite abit). Saves mana for healers in longer fights.
The suc boosts caster damage( if specced demo).
the suc is prone to die every now and then due to aoe BUT since tbc, the imp takes aoe damage in alot of places even when phaseshifted.

I am not saying imp is worthless, far from it. It is still a VERY nice pet but a suc can support mt and ot EVEN when NOT in their group.
