WTB [Soul Shard]Follow

I use that trinket you get from ST, park the VW someplace and run off, insta shard.

Still have the quest in my log.

Thanks for reminding me, though. Think I'll solo it before I go to bed. It's indeed a nice trinket, but I still would like a way to instantly call back "out of range" minions without having to blow a shard and spending six seconds (Master Summoner) to get it back.

A Demonology Warlock without a pet is about as useful as a Beast Mastery Hunter with no pet, no armor, no weapon and /dancing.

Took the "Uber Pet Macro" I use on my Hunter and sort-of changed it to fit my Warlock's minion. Shift-T now sends the minion to my target and Shift-T again puts it on follow. Makes it easier to call it back and send it off on rampage. I usually have it on Passive stance.



That's the macro I'm using. Feel free to contribute if you have some additions or changes to it.

Ps. Just completed the "Trolls of a Feather" quest and got the trinket. EZmode, engage!

It's very annoying, I'd like it if they made PvP Battlegrounds have free reagents all around. Also, Pet Happiness shouldn't drop, that's not quite fair on Hunters.

I recently went Demonology and I feel your pain, though I try and keep my pet in range as often as possible.

I fail. I've not seen anything about it and just assumed it did. I've not actually PvP'd with my Hunter yet.

This was my initial thought as well. I remember putting my pet on Stay and running off to get the shard back. However, last night in Eye of the Storm, my pet and I got hit by Psychic Scream which sent me running towards the Mage Tower while my Felpuppy went the other way. I didn't hit the Passive button fast enough and he went out of range.

I'm 99.9% sure I did not get the shard back then. I definitely remember going "Hmm, wait a minute.." and then I died to some Mutilate Rogue and forgot about it.

Oh, and a word of advice: Don't. I repeat, DO NOT leave one battleground to enter another while you're in ghost form. Upon resurrection by the Spirit Healer, you will receive the last summoned minion for free, however, if you decide to switch battlegrounds while waiting for the resurrection, you will lose that minion and the shard that goes with it as you will not be resurrected with your minion in the new battleground. So spawn first, then click Accept.

I'm going to have to do some further testing on the return-shard function. Could've sworn there's been times where I didn't get the shard back. In any case, the six-second summoning is a real pain still.

And for the love of god, Blizzard, make Soul Shards stack and give us the chance to loot more than one shard every kill. We drain the person's soul, but we only manage to salvage one shard of it. Why not a random number between 1-3 or something like that?

Not to mention the addition of being able to loot shards off of low level mobs would be nice. So, because they're low level, they don't have a soul we can drain? But how come Drain Soul works on even critters?

Making a class so dependent on a reagent that is so annoying to handle is not very fair. Hell, Paladins can stack their 30-minute buff reagents in 100's. I don't mind the whole farming for shards thing. It's a part of being a Warlock. It sort of belongs to the class. But they could do so many easy and fun things to improve the system.

i'll trust it then that there were some changes as my arena preference is/was demo spec. i used emergency demon summon [0.5 sec] and i ended up loosing shards :$



hmm, so far my experience in tk [mechanical friendly place] was that they are immune to drain life, soul siphon, but yield shards without a problem...

btw, i have to gloat a bit but i just won tonight the;

Hey, in Patch 2.4 mech units will be vulnerable to bleed effects. Go figure.
