Summoning 101 (a.k.a. Minion Guide)

Publication par Kangi

Welcome to the "summoning guide".

This is an old, old thread that long predates the Wowhead guide system. Up until Battle for Azeroth, in which I stopped playing modern WoW, I kept it half-heartedly up-to-date out of love, despite never having any intentions of making it into a proper guide.

MINIONS

The Imp

A_IMP_ORDER

How to obtain:

The imp will be right at your side once you start your Warlock.

Abilities:

Éclair de feu, the imp's source of damage.

Learned upon acquiring the imp. Automatic.

Cautérisation du maître, an ability that deals minor damage to the Warlock and then heals him over time.

Learned at level 31. Manually triggered.

Fuir, an escape mechanism that causes your imp to flee to the Warlock, breaking free of stuns and roots.

Learned at level 33. Manually triggered.

Brûle-magie, an ability that dispels a magic-effect debuff off of you or an ally. Automatically casts on the Warlock if he is CCed by a magical effect.

Learned at level 68. Automatic.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Glyphs

Grimoire du diablotin gangrené transforms the imp into Invocation : diablotin gangrené. The fel imp casts Gangréclair as opposed to the standard Firebolt; the difference between the two, as of Legion, is purely cosmetic.

Summary:

The imp is the only long-range minion, giving it its own set of perks and downfalls. He's the Destruction minion of choice, and his Brûle-magie and Cautérisation du maître spells give him handy utility.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding: Don't be sparing with Cautérisation du maître. It can be a useful healing effect that takes stress off of the healers when the raid is taking damage.
While Évitement will generally keep your pet from dying to most boss mechanics, Fuir can still be useful when you need your imp to get to where you are and fast.

In PvP:

Feel like the imp is too useless in PvP? Think again. Brûle-magie can be exceptionally useful against magic-debuffing classes, such as enemy Warlocks.
Is your imp being focused down? Fuir can be used to get him out of sticky situations, or just plain confuse your enemies. ("Imps can fly?!")

In soloing: Coming soon™.(##RESPBREAK##)

The Voidwalker

SummonVoidWalker

How to obtain:

Invocation : marcheur du Vide is learned at level 8.

Abilities:

Ombres brûlantes, the voidwalker's main source of damage.

Learned upon acquiring the voidwalker. Automatic.

Présence menaçante a permanent buff to the voidwalker that causes its threat generation to increase.

Learned upon acquiring the voidwalker. Automatic.

Souffrance, a single-target taunt that automatically casts if the target isn't attacking the voidwalker, and is cast on any enemy that is attacking the Warlock.

Learned at level 15. Automatic.

, a temporary buff to the voidwalker that reduces all physical damage taken and deals damage to attackers. Has charges that cause the shield to decrease in effectiveness each time the voidwalker is hit.

Learned at level 28. Automatic.

Rempart de l’ombre, a temporary maximum health boost that autocasts when the voidwalker is running low on health.

Learned at level 55. Automatic.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Réflexes du Vide, a passive ability that gives the voidwalker a defensive boost.

Glyphs

Grimoire du seigneur du Vide will transform your voidwalker to Invocation : seigneur du Vide. This will grant it Bouclier de vide, which replaces the standard Shadow Shield. As of Legion, this is purely a cosmetic difference.

Summary:

The voidwalker is a tankiness-focused minion that can keep even strong elite enemies off of you in soloing, or help you out in other dangerous situations. He's no match for a real tank though, so try not to pull him out in a raid. Those days are long gone. Sartharion still has nightmares about them.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding:
Toggle off Présence menaçante and Souffrance. You do not want your voidwalker to tank in a raiding environment, unless it's necessary.

In PvP: Coming soon™.
In soloing:

In cases where the voidwalker is taking massive amounts of damage (20%+ of health) at a time, you may want to manually cast Rempart de l’ombre in order to avoid the voidwalker not getting the chance to cast it himself.

The Succubus

A_SUCCUBUS_DISMISS

How to obtain:

Invocation : succube is learned at level 28.

Abilities:

Fouet de la douleur, the succubus' source of damage.

Learned upon acquiring the succubus. Automatic.

Séduction, a CC ability that only works on humans and other players. Shares diminishing returns with Fear. Gender of the target strangely does not matter.

Learned at level 26. Automatic.

Invisibilité inférieure, an ability the succubus can only use out of combat that makes her invisible to all enemies.

Learned at level 32. Automatic.

Coup de fouet, an AoE damaging knockback.

Learned at level 56. Automatic.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Glyphs

Grimoire de la Shivarra will transform your succubus to Invocation : shivarra. This will grant her Danse de lames, which replaces Lash of Pain; Gangrefouet, which replaces Whiplash; and Envoûtement, which replaces Seduction. These spells, as of Legion, are only cosmetic differences.

Grimoire de la succube d’ombre will give your succubus a shadowy makeover.

Orbe de la tentatrice gangrenée will give your succubus a fel makeover.

Summary:

The succubus is basically known as "the CC minion". Her potent humanoid CC gives her exceptional usefulness in PvP and soloing/raiding situations where CC against humanoids is needed.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding: Use Fear in conjunction with Séduction on different targets to be a master of CC. Heck, you can throw Banish in there too if applicable! ...Just don't expect to do much dps when you're trying to juggle that many CCs.
Keep in mind that Coup de fouet can also be used to interrupt spell casts if the mob is susceptible to it. It will not lock them out of casting, however, so whip out your felhunter if that's what you need.

In PvP:

Keep in mind that Coup de fouet can also be used to interrupt player spell casts. It will not lock them out of casting, however, so whip out your felhunter if that's what you need.

In soloing:

See above.

The Felhunter

SummonFelBeast

How to obtain:

Invocation : chasseur corrompu is learned at level 36.

Abilities:

Morsure de l'ombre, the felhunter's main source of damage. Effect increased for Affliction Warlocks in accordance to DoTs placed on the target.

Learned upon acquiring the felhunter. Automatic.

Dévorer la magie, an ability that purges a beneficial magic effect from the enemy, replenishing the felhunter if successful.

Learned upon acquiring the felhunter. Manually triggered.

Verrou magique, an ability that silences and/or interrupts an enemy's spellcast.

Learned upon acquiring the felhunter. Manually triggered.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Glyphs

Glyphe carbonisé will transform your felhunter to Invocation : observateur. This will grant it Fouette-langue, which replaces Shadow Bite, and Déflagration optique, which replaces Spell Lock. These spells, as of Legion, are simply cosmetic differences.

Summary:

The felhunter is used as an anti-spell caster minion, as well as the damage-dealing minion of choice for Affliction Warlocks. They're exceptional against casters in PvP and can be used in a pinch to interrupt an important target in other situations.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding: Coming soon™.
In PvP:Verrou magique wisely! Interrupting a Chaos Bolt, for example, is a lot more valuable than using that 24-second cooldown on just anything.

In soloing: Coming soon™.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

The Felguard

A_DOOMGUARD_ORDER

How to obtain:

Invocation de gangregarde is learned by Demonology Warlocks at level 40.

Abilities:

Frappe de la Légion, a damaging ability that also hits other nearby enemies next to the target and applies a Mortal Strike-type debuff to the target.

Learned upon acquiring the felguard. Automatic.

Poursuite, an ability that charges and deals damage to an enemy and increases the felguard's movement speed.

Learned upon acquiring the felguard. Automatic.

Lancer de hache, a ranged ability that stuns a target.

Learned upon acquiring the felguard. Manually triggered.

Gangrorage. It's basically Tempête de lames, felguard-style. Without the "immune to CC" part, however.

Learned at level 45. Manually triggered.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Réflexes du Vide, a passive ability that grants the felguard increased defensive capabilities.

Glyphs

Grimoire du garde-courroux will transform your felguard to Invocation : garde-courroux. This grants him Enchaînement mortel which replaces Legion Strike, and Tempête du courroux which replaces Felstorm. As of Legion, these spells are only cosmetically different.

Glyphe de gangregarde is also available. Transmog your felguard! Sorta.

Summary:

The felguard is considered to be the highest-damage standard minion; however, it can only be used by those with the Demonology specialization.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding: Coming soon™.
In PvP: Coming soon™.
In soloing: Coming soon™.

GUARDIANS

The Infernal

InfernalAggro

How to obtain:

Invocation : infernal is learned at level 58.

Abilities:

Passive immolation aura.

Want a permanent infernal?

You're in luck! See this section.

Summary:

As a guardian, the infernal will be a nice boost to your damage, particularly in AoE fights. He isn't as good as the doomguard when it comes to single-target damage, however.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

Publication par Kangi

The Doomguard

DoomGuardAggro

How to obtain:

Invocation de garde funeste is learned at level 50.

Abilities:

Trait funeste, the doomguard's primary source of damage. Deals 20% more damage against enemies at or below 20% of their maximum health.

Automatically known upon summoning.

Want a permanent doomguard?

You're in luck! See this section.

Summary:

The doomguard is a guardian with potent damage who will be a large boost to your single-target damage output whenever he's needed.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

"This is my spec. Which pet do I use?"

Come Legion, each specialization once again has an optimal minion tied to it. While you're free to use minions for various other reasons (voidwalker to tank an elite, felhunter to interrupt a Mage), listed below are the optimal minions for each specialization in regards to pure damage.

Note that these assume you have not selected Grimoire de suprématie as a talent.

Affliction: Felhunter/Observer
Demonology: Felguard/Wrathguard
Destruction: Imp/Fel Imp

Battle for Azeroth re-rendered this section pointless. Minions (supposedly) pull the same DPS, outside of the Felguard for Demonology.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

MOUNTS

Although not true minions, the Felsteed and Dreadsteed are loyal companions that are rideable.

The Felsteed

This flaming horse, along with the necessary riding skill, is granted to you upon reaching level 20.

The Dreadsteed

Not-so-long ago, the Dreadsteed was only available through a long, tiring, dungeon-running, world-trekking quest chain. Now it is available through simply reaching level 40. The quest chain is no longer able to be done, and those who did it received a nice achievement for their troubles.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

Non-exhaustive list of patch changes specific to minions:

Voidwalker: Shadow Shield now passive, Void Reflexes removed.

Succubus: Whiplash now a slow.

Felhunter: Shadow Bite damage no longer scales with DoTs on target.

Doomguard and Infernal permanent pets: removed.

Imp

Damage increased by 20%.

Voidwalker

Damage increased by 20%.

Succubus

Damage increased by 20%.

Felhunter

Damage increased by 20%.

Felguard

Damage increased by 20%.

Notes: Damage buffs to keep our fel friends up to speed.

Felhunter

Dévorer la magie has been re-added because who thought the felhunter having only two abilities was a good idea?

Doomguard

Trait funeste damage increased by 13%.

Notes: Seriously, who?

General

Several demons have received new models and voicelines.
Grimoire de suprématie (Grimoire of Supremacy, tooltip shows as Demonic Servitude on live) functionality changed; now functions as Demonic Servitude once did. The alternative minions (Fel Imp, Voidlord, etc.) have been turned into glyphs. While they retain their unique abilities, they will function identically to their counterparts.
Grimoire de sacrifice no longer supplies a demon spell to the Warlock through Commandement démoniaque.
Demonology got all sorts of fun demons to play with, but they will not be added to this guide.
More stuff probably??

Imp

Éclair de feu now deals increased damage to targets afflicted by its master's Immolate.
Cautérisation du maître now learned at level 31 (down from 56).
Brûle-magie cooldown reduced to 10 seconds.

Voidwalker

Réflexes du Vide added as a passive.
Torment changed into Consuming Shadows. Now drains health from enemies within an area of effect.
Rempart de l’ombre now has an energy cost.

Felhunter

Now learned at level 35 (up from 29).
Morsure de l'ombre now deals increased damage to targets afflicted by its master's Affliction spells.
Dévorer la magie (Devour Magic; purged a beneficial magic effect from the target to heal the felhunter) removed.
Verrou magique is now learned at level 35 (down from 50).

Felguard

Now learned (by Demonology Warlocks) at level 40 (down from 42).
Réflexes du Vide added as a passive effect.

Notes: There's a whole bunch of undocumented stuff that's too time-consuming to go over. And hey, felhunter got a new model!

Imp

Has received a new model!

Felguard

Has received a new model!

Voidlord

Has received a new model!

Wrathguard

Has received a new model!

Doomguard

Now appears smaller to other players.

Notes: Shiny new appearances for some minions. Now, where's a new model for that butt-ugly felhunter?

(Sorry, felhunter.)

Imp/Fel Imp

Brûle-magie and its fel imp equivalent have had their cooldown increased to 30 seconds.

Voidwalker/Voidlord

(Disarm) has been removed.

Succubus/Shivarra

Séduction and its shivarra equvialent now have a 30 second cooldown.

Felhunter/Observer

Verrou magique and its observer equivalent no longer silence the target.

Terrorguard

No longer casts an AoE fear effect upon death.

Notes: Warlord of Draenor! Not many changes here, though it introduced Demonic Servitude. Most of these changes were done for the sake of PvP.

Imp

The imp pet ability (Blood Pact) has been removed.

Notes: This would later become a passive ability for warlocks.

Imp

The ability Phase Shift (made the imp invulnerable to attacks and abilities while out of combat) was removed.

Voidwalker

The ability Consume Shadows (replenish health and mana over time and temporarily increasing your stealth detection) was removed.
The ability Sacrifice (sacrificed a portion of the voidwalker's health to give you an absorption shield for thirty seconds) was removed.
Gained the ability Présence menaçante.

Felhunter

The ability Fel Intelligence (gave increased maximum mana and mana regeneration) was removed as part of the consolidation of raid buffs.

Felguard

Gained the ability Présence menaçante.

Notes: Mists of Pandaria! Not quite as many changes as Cataclysm... at least, not to minions. Warlocks themselves got overhauled for the second expansion in a row. Regardless, some minion abilities got removed. Sacrifice was actually reworked into a talent that functioned regardless of what minion was being used. Grimoire of Supremacy was also added.

Voidwalker

The voidwalker ability Souffrance now works like the hunter pet talent .

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused the Doomguard and Infernal to benefit dramatically more than intended from Demonology Mastery.

Notes: Took a little "pew" from Demonology's "pew pew".

General

The Aggressive pet stance has been removed and replaced with the Assist stance. This stance will cause the player's pet to attack the player's target. The pet will not change targets unless the master attacks a new target for a few seconds.
The Defensive pet stance will now only cause the player's pet to attack enemies which attack the pet or the master.

Notes: Prior to this, the Defensive stance functioned more like the current Assist stance, and the Aggressive stance made pets attack anything in sight. This didn't end well in neutral towns on PvP servers.

Succubus

Fouet de la douleur's damage now scales with level, reducing the damage done at lower levels such that it will deal 50% damage at level 20, and 100% damage at level 80 and above.

Felhunter

Morsure de l'ombre's damage and effect has been doubled.

Doomguard

Trait funeste's damage has been increased by 50%. The doomguard is intended to be the best guardian for single-target damage, and the onfernal the best when there are multiple targets.

Notes: Actually... the succubus in general was pretty crazy. Her damage was insane at lower levels! Meanwhile, before the doomguard change, the infernal was just the go-to guardian for all situations. It was to be expected, considering how much havoc they wrought back when they were an enslaved demon, rather than a guardian.

Succubus

Séduction now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.

Felhunter

Dévorer la magie cooldown has been increased to 20 seconds, up from 8. Devour is no longer able to be auto-cast.

Felguard

Gangrorage damage has been reduced by 20%.

Notes: Well, Seduction was pretty crazy in PvP. That Devour auto-cast change would later be reverted, and the cooldown changed once more.

Oi, where to begin?

General

All minions and guardians (excluding the felguard) are now trainable. Old - Minions (excluding imp and felguard) would require a quest chain to be completed to obtain.
Évitement increased to 90% AoE damage reduction. Old - 80%.

Imp

(Blood Pact, raid-wide aura buff) now increases stamina. Old - increased health.
New spell - Fuir. Old - Fire Shield (fire resistance buff castable on raid members; buffed targets would cause fire damage to attackers).
New spell - Brûle-magie. Old - Phase Shift (imp would become unattackable and immune to friendly casts until attacking; could only be used out of combat).

Voidwalker

Ombres brûlantes now has a lower cooldown and deals damage.
Consumer les ombres now also regenrates mana.
Souffrance now has a lower cooldown and taunts a single target. Old - AoE spell on a two minute cooldown that generated threat and reduced chance to hit at later levels.

Succubus

Fouet de la douleur no longer has a cooldown and is usable at range. Old - 12 second cooldown and only usable at melee range.
New spell - Coup de fouet. Old - Soothing Kiss (threat reduction for Succubus and affecting time between attacks at later levels).

Felhunter

Dévorer la magie no longer dispels harmful effects on friendly targets; still purges enemies.
(Fel Intelligence, raid-wide aura buff) now grants maximum mana and mp5, rather than intellect and spirit.

Felguard

New spell - Frappe de la Légion. Old - Cleave (self-explanatory)
New spell - Poursuite. Old - Intercept (basically Pursuit but with a stun instead of a movement speed increase)
New spell - Lancer de hache. Old - Anguish (threat generation spell)
New spell - Gangrorage. Old - Demonic Frenzy (increased attack power for every successful strike for ten seconds, stacking up to ten times)

Doomguard

Now a guardian with a 45 second duration and 10 minute cooldown, rather than a minion.
Old abilities removed. Now only casts Trait funeste.

Infernal

Now a guardian with a 45 second duration and 10 minute cooldown, rather than a minion.

Notes: Cataclysm brought a lot of changes. I mean... just look at all of those!

Many of the tail sweeps with knockback effects will no longer hit players' pets.
Pet Resilience: All player pets now get 100% of their master’s resilience.
Évitement (passive): Now reduces the damage your pet takes from area-of-effect damage by 90%, but no longer applies to area-of-effect damage caused by other players.
Invocation : infernal: The cooldown on this summoning spell has been reduced from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. Cannot be used in Arenas.
Garde funeste/Infernal: These pets now innately have Évitement like all other warlock pets.
Morsure de l'ombre (Felhunter): This pet ability now provides 15% increased damage for each of the warlock’s damage-over-time effects on the target.
Souffrance (Voidwalker): Ranks 5-8 had the incorrect taunt radius of 5 yards and have all been adjusted to a 10-yard radius.
Invocation de diablotin: This ability is now available from the trainer for level 1 warlocks and no longer requires a quest to learn.

Notes: Those last two probably raise a few for newer players. You see, warlock minions used to have quests that you needed to complete in order to acquire them. This was eventually changed for all minions so that you could just learn their summoning spells from the trainer. And then trainers were no longer needed to learn them! Meanwhile, both player abilities and pet abilities used to have ranks to them; you'd learn higher ranks of the same spell from the trainer (in the form of purchasable items, for the minions). Nowadays, spells just scale with your level, rather than being at certain increments.

All pets now receive 40% of their master's resilience and 100% of their master's spell penetration. In addition, if a player is at their appropriate spell hit chance or hit chance maximum, their pet will be at the maximum for spell hit chance, hit chance, and expertise. If they are below the maximum, their pet will be proportionately below those maximums.
Destrier de l’effroi can now be learned at level 40.
Palefroi corrompu can now be learned at level 20.

Notes: The change to the warlock mounts were part of a larger change to mounts in general. Previously, 60% speed mounts couldn't be used until level 40, and 100% speed mounts couldn't be used until level 60.

(Sacrifice) (Voidwalker) redesigned: Sacrifices a portion of the voidwalker's health, giving its master a shield that will absorb X damage for 30 seconds. While the shield holds, spell casting will not be interrupted by damage. 1-minute cooldown.

Notes: You know that talent, Sacrifical Pact? Well, that used to be a pet ability in the form of Sacrifice for the voidwalker. Prior to this patch, it just outright killed the voidwalker. Seems like a bad deal for him.

(Fire Shield) (Imp): You can now cast this ability on raid members, rather than party members.
Voidwalker: The health bonus on this pet has been reduced from 60% to 10%.

Notes: Fire Shield was a buff effect that caused damage upon being hit. The voidwalker received such a large nerf due to the fact that prior to this patch, he was being used to tank raid bosses. How's that for a tank pet?

GRIMOIRE OF SUPREMACY

Grimoire de suprématie is a level 90 talent that allows you to control the infernal and doomguard indefinitely.

The Infernal

InfernalAttack

How to obtain:

Select Grimoire de suprématie as your talent at level 90, and you gain access to this demon as a permanent pet.

Abilities:

Passive immolation aura.

Présence brûlante, a passive ability that increases the infernal's defenses and threat generation.

Automatic.

Frappe météore, an AoE ability that stuns and deals damage in a small radius around the infernal.

Automatic.

Magie de la torche, a dispel. Can be used to remove a harmful magic effect from an ally, or to purge a beneficial magic effect from an enemy.

Automatic.

Bouillant de rage, a taunt effect. Works similarly to the voidwalker's Souffrance.

Automatic.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Summary:

The infernal is a great pet for solo content and AoE fights. Use him to decimate your foes, while keeping them away from you.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding:Turn off Présence brûlante, Bouillant de rage, and Magie de la torche from being automatic. You don't want your pet taking threat off of a tank, and you don't want to waste Torch Magic - it has a thirty second cooldown, after all.

In PvP:

Try to keep Magie de la torche off of auto-cast. Once again, you want to use it sparingly.

In soloing:

Yep, Magie de la torche again. Your infernal has a tendency to just use this immediately on an enemy, even if they don't have a beneficial magic effect on them. So keep it off of auto-cast and only use it when you need it.

The Doomguard

DoomGuardAttack

How to obtain:

Select Grimoire de suprématie as your talent at level 90, and you gain access to this demon as a permanent pet.

Abilities:

Trait funeste, the doomguard's primary source of damage. Deals 20% extra damage when the target is at or below 20% health.

Automatic.

Débiliter, a channeled root effect. Note that unlike some CC abilities, this will "aggro" the enemy and others nearby.

Automatic.

Verrou d’ombre, a standard interrupt effect.

Manually triggered.

Évitement, a passive ability that all minions have to prevent them from dying easily to AoE effects.

Summary:

As a permanent pet, the doomguard is a very high source of single-target damage. He may pale to the infernal in solo content and AoE fights, but he's unrivaled during most PvE boss encounters.

Tips & Tricks:

In raiding:Turn off Débiliter from being automatically casted. Otherwise, your doomguard may randomly try to cast it. He's dumb like that.

In PvP:

Keep Débiliter off of auto-cast. It has a lengthy cooldown, and you'll want to use it sparingly.

In soloing:

Yep, you guessed it. Débiliter again. Keep it for when you need it and deactivate its auto-cast.

Seriously man, if you think that a 2k Shield every 45 seconds warrants using a Voidwalker in PvP then you are probably running around arenas at a 700 rating wondering WTF is happening. Using him over Succi or Felhunter is just retarded.

Death Coil has a 2 minute CD and only lasts 2.5 seconds anyway, Drain Mana is pointless in today's "bursty" PvP style, Shadow Fury lasts 2 seconds on a 20 second CD... In order to down a priest (or a priest's partner) you need to either chain CC the priest, or Spell Lock him (effectively a 6 second stun).

But hey, this isn't a PvP strategy thread... Try dueling a priest who knows what he is doing and see what happens.

10k+ shield when specced properly. If you find that useless, then you are being short-sighted.

I've dueled many a skilled Priest and have had the upper hand without using a Felhunter.

Overall, don't be ignorant to possibilities, Fin.

When getting pet you can ignore your race, any Warlock can get pet from any quest chain of thier aligment (that does make quite a difference when taking Succubus). You should note that Seduce shares dimishing returns with Fear (seems like a typo). Other than that great work.

Publication par Kangi

You should note that Seduce shares dimishing returns with Fear (seems like a typo). Yep, typo. Thanks for pointing it out. At one point when typing the Succubus part, I accidentally deleted it and had to re-type it, and left those two words out by mistake.

And Gorefiend, nice suggestion. I'll try working on that.

You forgot to add Dispel under Doomguard abilities.I know I did; I didn't add it because honestly, I had never seen the Doomguard have that ability before, and wasn't sure if he really did have it at all (plus his wowhead page doesn't list the ability). I'll test it out in-game just to have confirmation before I add it.

Tested it. He does have the ability, I suppose I just never noticed. Will edit that in.
