Hi everyone,
in case you are interessted, i want to keep a small report about the progress of my 5 female UD Locks-Team.
The whole team is independent, no powerleveling, no twinking. Never bought anything in AH - all quests, instances, items etc. done only with this team from lv 1.
Current Status:
Lv 31
Specc: 21 Affli up to Syphon Life - now going Demo up to Soul Link
Equip: 80% blue items due to boss drops or instance quests
Inis clear:
- Ragefire (lv18 )
- Wailing Caves (lv 19)
- Shadowfang (lv 20)
- Blackfathom Deeps (lv 25)
- Razorfen Kraul (Lv 30)
going for Scarlet Monastary Graveyard next.
I am mixing in some questing to spice up the gameplay.
Battle Tactics:
Pets: 4 Voids, 1 Imp
I use Keyclone and have Pet attack on round robin. So usually i send in the first Void - then i use Syphon Life, Curse of Agony and Corruption on the same mob. Switching to second mob, send in next Void - Life Tap, 3 Dots and so on until all Elites are tanked. Like this 4 Elite Mobs are very easy, even 5-6 can be handled without even loosing a pet. In this case i let some Voids tank 2 and use drain life or wands to bring the additional mob down fast. After a group of mobs i use the self-heal on the Voids and usually have no downtime. I havent met a boss who could kill even one pet yet. Sometimes if i get adds due to patrols i have to throw in a Health Funnel to keep the pets going. Mana is no problem due to the multiple syphon lifes ticking in and the occassional drain life.
The key for successful void-tanking is to let each void only tank one Elite at a time. Because the damage is coming in slowly due to the dots the voids never loose aggro until i start drain life - usually it breaks after 3-4 ticks but the mob is below 10% health at that time anyway.
I hope this will work even in instances later in the game. As i am progressing in the demon-tree now i will soon have improved Voidwalker to make his taunt more effective.
