Watching the Paragon 10 man heroic Garrosh kill video, I noticed that coming out of the first intermission both warlocks bring out their voidwalkers. Anyone know why?

Voidwalker shield proc does great damage - potentially the strongest pet because of that.
Also makes small add bursts a lot easier to manage I bet.
I assume it's because of the reduced damage because they weren't geared for it like the rest of us would be. It's always cool to see what guilds fighting for world firsts do; stacking classes using weird items.
For dmg, vw does nothing for dmg taken reduction.
You can always just soulburn an Imp out as you head into poison phase. I'm sure 1 soul shard is worth a few million damage.
Yeah it was definitely not nerfed.
If you really wanted to make an argument for the Imp it would be: "Imp provides more utility with AoE dispels while not sacrificing the damage you would otherwise need to kill the boss. You shouldn't rely on the VW shield to make up for low DPS."
Can someone tell me exactly what they are doing with their Voidlords? Is it enough to keep him in any position or is it mandatory to keep them in front of the boss? Should any of the abilities be off Auto Cast?
I know they do benefit from the warlock being Affliction more but is it such big of a difference between Affliction and Destro in terms of VL damage?
I'm doing Thok on normal atm and it's faceroll enough for me to not change specs so I only test it as destro and I can say I'm not impressed. Most of the high parses on Thok don't have VL's so I didn't bother finding one to see just how big the damage is.
You put him in front of the boss to reflect the breath damage, you also use soul link so the transferred aoe damage procs the shield. Its essential you are affliction, the reason VL does so much damage is because of the the fact that void shield is being amplified by affliction mastery. Destro does nothing for it, you're better off with the imp for destro.

You dont need to position him in front. The roar is physical and procs the shield via soul link. I had about 15 pulls on thok hc progress and after the first phase was over the shield itself accounted for close to 4m of my 45m damage.
Yeah. Fixed!
