    Does pet damage change based on which spec you're playing?

    Im a very new and terrible warlock, i started playing only a week or so ago and this is my first time ever playing one, and i noticed something that made me question which pets i should be using.

    In the talent tab, when selecting a spec, it highlights the abilities related to that spec, and with that it also has 3 different pets for the 3 different specs. While i didnt pay much attention to the Demonology one, the Destro page highlights the Imp while Affliction highlights the felhunter, that made me question if those pets do more damage when playing those specs?

    Yes, there are certain synergies. For instance, the imp's firebolt gets bonus damage when immolate is up. Felhunter does more damage against targets who have dots (aff). And demo's felguard.. is just a harder hitter.

    Yup. Essentially, Felhunter for Affliction, Imp for Destro, Felguard for Demo. Succubus is a PvP CC pet, and Voidwalker is, of course, for tank. Doomguard is dps and Infernal is AoE/tanking if you took that talent for whatever reason.

    Yep, you're supposed to use the Impwith destro, Felhunter with affliction and demo has it's signature felguard

    For exmaple, the Felhunter's Shadow Bite ability is in affliction because it's damage increases th emore dots you got on the thing it;s attacking

    Personally, I think the Succubus would fit more with affliction;s class fantasy as her attack is Lash of Pain

    But she is more a pvp pet

    They are buffing the Felhunter to change that though. I thought they would.
