Less fun on lvl 70 though.
He gets killed in like 10sec.

Commento di Thottbot

Five man Warlock raids just got reaaally scary :P

Really, I can see this as a GREAT addition to any raid during the attack on the boss, especially if there's more than one of them. And if the enslave breaks? pft whatever, curse of shadow and banish are such easy and quick spells, pop em up and count to 30, you're good! run outa mana while blastin away at that boss? hah! just life tap and bandage yourself, banish that sucka till the end of the fight. Or reinslave...

i heard this doomgaurd have 3-4 times the dps then the doomguard from CoD(curse of doom). is this true? if it is it will be like a elite pet but it cost about 1g to summon and kill one of the party member too and also have 60min cooldown.

Commento di Thottbot

The last time i used ritual of doom to summon him, was in a simple ST run, and having recently gained this ability, i was happy to try it out... as the run had been going smoothly (being 60 helps)

The group was happy, and so we summoned him just before the prophet fight

I'll put it this way, the run went well until i got the stupid idea of summoning him...

After starting the ritual, of all the members to kill, it decided to kill our 1 and only rezer. Thankfully our priest was SS'ed, and i managed to CoS it and enslave it

priest rez'ed, buffed, and under 20 seconds from enslaving we attacked the boss fully ready

Tank was to MT, my DG was to OT...
The second the MT got into the aggro radius off the boss, my DG broke free and started wailing on me, bashed me down to 40% before i managed to re-enslave it

Sent it onto the other minion to act as an OT again, as was the plan, all while i bandaged up and got healed

Just as my doomguard was about to place his first blow and take aggro, he broke again and started heading back to me, bashed me to an inch of my life, just before i got the banish off

I believe the priest and the rogue were laughing so hard they almost fell off their chairs (ffs, throw me some help!), and we killed the two bosses off while keeping him enslaved

We then destroyed him promptly after.

Lets just say i haven't used that ritual of doom since, and doubt i ever will.

Infernal > Doomguard

i was done reading these notes earlyer but i never knew DG was so dangous.

i laught so hard reading some of these things lol.

and just when i thought that DG r good to summon lol.

Commento di Thottbot

I was wondering if Blizz has any plans on balancing the Doomguard to make it more beneficial to use? As it he's a cool pet but he has extremely limited usefulness, almost to the point where its not worth wasting the time and reagent to summon him.

As is, the only real use for a Doomguard is outdoor pvp raids, and thats only if the enemies you are fighting are mostly 10+ levels lower than you. While he has cool abilties, his usefulness in BGs is limited at best considering he can be enslaved and goes down rather fast to a group of 60s.

Considering you have to sacrifice a party memebers' life and spend 1g to summon him, you would think that he would at least stay enslaved for a garaunteed 10 min or so.

Its would be really nice if they made this pet actually useful considering the trouble you have to go thru to complete the quests and to summon him. (Quests are not hard but running DM and travelling to and from blasted lands takes time, as well as sacrificing a party member, not to mention that once he breaks he b-lines right at you)

Commento di Thottbot

its a chance... a pretty small chance of summoning doomguard... although it did freak me out when it did summon one :D

Commento di Thottbot

hey if Doomguard is mostly for fun, then just go to horde (or alli) starting/low level area and CoD all the low level guards and PVP noobs till u get a Doomguard then let it go on a rampage bu putting it on aggresive and when it breaks ether reenslave it or let it kill you and if you let it kill you just make sure u have a SS so u can rez and then just watch the slaughter.

Commento di Thottbot

if this thing is a real hero or a pain in the but,i dont care i am gonna get him anyhow

Commento di Thottbot

yarr somehow i clicked my own doom portal once...theres a few odd spots where you're in range but i havent been able to do it again. anyone know how?

and btw...even if the pet IS useless, the doom portal is still real cool looking and you dont need to be in a group to use it, just buy a demonic figurine once, its 90s (or 1g if you somehow managed to not get the rep by lvl 60).

Commento di Thottbot

I solo'd every quest to get my Doomgaurd. After finally getting it I went to Stormwind and Started the summon for the Doomgaurd. I asked for help and people magically assumed what they were helping with was the Ritual of Souls to recieve a Healthstone. But as a larger and larger crowd gathered and the summoning happened, panic was EVERYWHERE! for some reason, no one had expected that giant beast. I just /laugh.
So, what i see the only good coming from this spell and more is for Warlock Lottery (Having guildmates help summon, winner is whoever randomly dies, they win the gold) and just to cause destruction on the allience. I would have rolled horde.

You summon the doomguard through the ritual SS yourself as you are the one needing to enslave. Then you walk into a lowbie town and summon an infernal. Once this is acomplished the Doomguard will break free and turn on you. Just let it kill you. Once you die the infernal and doomguard now at full potential as they are no longer under the enslavement will make fun work of whatever town you have left them in. Rez right before they die and move in with your buddies.

Commento di Thottbot

omg this sounds like such sadistic fun!

Commento di Thottbot

Confirmed: You receive no Armor Durablity lost if you are the sacrificed in the summon.

Commento di Thottbot

I've just a question... our's pet HP increases depending on our stamina or our intellect?

Commento di Thottbot

its from a quest.

This is just a fun party trick, nothing more. I use the DG to freak out and kill lowbies, and thats about it. GG bliz

Commento di Thottbot

This is by far the least used lock summen it is not even worth the trouble.....but boy can it be fun "RAID ON GOLDSHIRE" 1 lock one DG and a lot of dead alli

Commento di Thottbot

kk if you all are so worried about the quest line, and the reagent cost, and the killing of 1 party member. then why in the world would you not simply use the curse.

And since this is a trophy pet, its not supposed to be very reliable.

The only useful thing i could possibly see using this for is going to goldshire and using it to maim innocent noobs....and (risky) grinding.

Commento di Thottbot

ok, so to give a comparison my buddy and I, both demo spec'd, had a felgaurd duel an enslaved Doomguard. We both have gear that are fairly matched with each other. In the end they both came down at the same rate. The match ended in a tie more or less because the felgaurd died with the doomgaurd at < 5% health. I think without cripple the felgaurd would have won.

Commento di Thottbot

Note: if you cast ritual of doom in a city (easiest place to get volunteers) make sure you do it a *long* way from any guards. I cast it in IF and the guards killed it before I was able to finish enslaving it.

Also, since the ritual is guaranteed to kill a random one of the participants (zero durability damage tho), you should make sure you have a priest/shaman/pally/druid rezzer nearby, and if that healer is participating in the ritual also have them soulstoned in case they're the one who dies.

Commento di Thottbot

Had my share of fun with this spell during an MC run... Popped Curse of Doom on Shazzrah, and fortunately it procced and killed the boss which was the last element of the fight. Then the DG appeared and people started screaming on Ventrilo, unable to figure out what was suddenly attacking the raid! Hilarious!

Commento di Thottbot

What I do is, I go to Crossroads, get 5 people, tell them I'll run them through something, and cast the ritual.
When one of them dies, I banish the thing and yell "Hit the Doomguard for free weapon skills! When I have 10 beating on him, or so, I hellfire myself to death, and watch him slaughter the lowbies, when guards aggro, he 3 shots them. It's great.

Commento di Allakhazam

It would be so fun to get 5 friends and summon four in Org. :D

Chaos...pure chaos.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just a thought...

Would the Doomguard be useful in a high level raid boss fight? If you CoS then Enslave to make it last longer... i would think the Doomguards CRIPPLE ability would reduce a bosses effectiveness.

I imagine gathering the group for the fight pre-agro. Summon the Doomguard. Rez the person who was sacraficed (+heal), then engage the boss.

Or to save more time, start the fight and battle rez the person who was sacraficed.

As long as your MT and Healers don't participate in the summoning ritual, wouldnt they be safe?

Another thought...

If in a RAID with multiple locks, summon the Doomguard, cast CoS while other locks cast CoD... THEN Enslave. Send it at the raid boss with the MT. You now have a 1 minute death timer on the Doomguard, but during that 1 minute, the BOSS would be crippled due to the Doomguards help.

What do you think? If CoS persists after enslaving, i would think CoD would also.

I'd also like to know just what happens to the character who gets sacrificed. Does he die and have to Rez, or is it like a Polymorph effect?

Commento di Allakhazam

Will this summon ever randomly select the Warlock that summoned it? I'd hope not, as there would be no one able to charm it afterwards (unless maybe a soulstone is used).

Commento di Allakhazam

the enslave doesn't really last that long and it's even shorter the next time you enslave.
Got one of these and used it for 10 seconds, then I had to kill it.

Commento di Allakhazam

i think it would be cooler if the person who gets sacraficed becomes the Doomguard but cant controle what he does

Commento di Allakhazam

Character Dies and needs to be rezed back ... it randomly chooses the person for sacrafice. Found off Doomgaurds Commmanders and Dreadlords in the Blasted Lands

It can be farmed. See Grimoire of Doom Thu Mar 10 08:20:12 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

The perfect group to summon one of these in is 2 warlocks(just in case a warlock dies and the doomguard has to be enslaved) 2 preists(just in case a preist dies and needs to be rezed) and a mage to polymorph the doomguard when the enslavement timer is up) icant wait for this ability

Commento di Allakhazam

you go to one of the race starting places then you summon the doomguard and just leave him there so when all the new chars start there the doomguard gets them. =)

Commento di Allakhazam

I cant wait to get this lvl and do this

Commento di Allakhazam

The Doomguard is for:
1) High level instances
2) Random acts of violence in low level areas
3) Going to the opposing faction's main town with a raid party of 40 and summoning 8 of them without enslaving for total chaos. (You have to train them in to Orgrimmar or Stormwind for better results,though.)
4) Harrasing random idiots by saying you have to summon someone with 5 people instead of 3.....

So you see, it has many proctical and fun applications in the real world today.

Commento di Allakhazam

To the lvl 10 that got pwned by the Doomlord: getting killed by the opposite side does not damage gear so the rep that you had to pay for was already there. (or else PvP would be to expensive even for the extreme hardcore players!)

Commento di Allakhazam

OK I was walking in the tram with my level 10 warlock and THAT attacked me. I didnt have time to run into the portal to go back to IF before I died. sending these things after lowbies is NOT cool! if I knew the person's name who did this id demand they pay my gear repair =/

Commento di Allakhazam

IS this a dropped spell or something?

Any ideas where to get it?

Commento di Allakhazam

got this tonight, off a dreadlord.

Requires a full group, kills random party member with durability loss(soon to be patched and fixed)

Summons Doomguard(aggroed) Best to COS then Enslave him, it lasts longer.

Commento di Allakhazam

why would you even want this except for pvp maybe, wouldnt it just be better to cast curse of doom on mobs untill you get your doomguard. doesnt seem worth it when curse of doom dont involve killing party member and is trainer bought, and this requires hard quest to do. even if you are in pvp raid, you could just cast curse of doom on guards and still get your doom guard, it only says it cant be casted on players.

Commento di Allakhazam

its a warlock quest series given by a dude inside the tainted scar - to the farwest - turn rgt as soon as you enter the scar - must do 2 quest pre req's

Commento di Allakhazam

is doomguard that gimp?

Commento di Allakhazam

I wonder why this is even in the game. Just for showoff I hope cause its totally useless to a group. As a warlock I would never want to sacrifice a group member just to have a doom guard by my side (which I would have to waste lots of shards on to control).

Its like you have a candy store in your little town, but its never open or they dont let you in.

Go figure...

Commento di Allakhazam

SO I enter WSG waiting for the battle to start. It was my first time in since TBC so I tried the Soul Well and it did summon but no one was able to get a master healthstone so I was like WTH and I did ritual of doom hahaha. I got me doomguard, people were like WTF, NICE! (other warlocks of course), ROFL, LOL, OMFG, and "WTH IS THAT THING" (c'mon buddy... your a level 69 and your asking wth a doomguard is). SO yeah I had my 4 min of glory in the battle grounds. After the hour cooldown was up I tried summoning a doomguard again on another BG and some guy is like "click for healthstone" thinking it was ritual of souls.... NOT!... hahaha got me Doomguard again and this time I camped the alliance grave yard mawhahahaha. It's about time the horde camped some GY. On my server camped grave yards (before TBC BGs sucked on Turalyon since the alliance would camp the GY :( ). Btw we capped the flag twice while me and another lock (64) camped the GY (Doomguard FTW!).

This spell is now available from the quest Suppression from Daio the Decrepit in Classic. Not sure when it was made available, or if it was always available. I thought it was supposed to be added in a later phase, but I just picked it up today in phase 2.
