Anyone have a felhunter?Follow

I myself do have a Felhunter, as a level 34 warlock, its not the best of pets in most cases it deals average damage (from what ive noted its less then an imp or succubus) and can take hits fairly well(better then the succubus but not as well as voidwalker), but against mobs that either use magic debuffs or buffs on themselves, its decent, at 32 the felhunter also can be trained with a skill called "tainted Blood" that is an attack reducer that works like a damage shield would, when an enemy hits it, it gets a -17 attack debuff, this can stack up to 5 times though I dont know how long they last (average fight shouldnt be that long anyway) in pvp situations at this level, i find the imp more usefull because of its ability to deal large amounts of damage, and no soul shard wasted when he dies, although against enemies that are either causing trouble with negative magics or are simply too strong because of buffs, the Felhunter would be a nice pet to have ready.

I am 99% positive that at the higher levels when I'm able to train the felhunter in its better abilities it will be much more usefull, but for now, its just something to show off, unless of course the right situation comes up.

Yeah, I have the felhunter now, and don't find it that useful. I'm on a PvP server and actually find the Succubus by far to be the most useful pet. She deals out ok damage, and combined with curse of weakness can take some hits. The most useful thing though is her seduction. When I get jumped by a couple of alliance freaks, I can seduce one, then fear dot the other. The ability to essentially mez, has saved my life on quite a few occassions.

im hoping some of the higher end abilities really help this pet out, i dont ever use it. summoned it like 2x after i first got it and havent since. it can b usefull against casters but very situational.

I use my fellhunter in areas with lotsa casters. Next time you summon him hit "C" and look at its resists (they should be pretty high). Very usefull in debuffing spells of caster types and in the same moment healing himself with the debuff. He can also eat any magical debuff of you or a party member and again healing himself further. Of course if you don't have a good healer...or a good tank in highly populated areas he can die very quikly. Best thing to do is use all your pets and learn what you and any of the pets are capable of doing, and most importantly letting you party know you need to switch pets out for certain ancounters.

I have been all over Desolace, and have not come across a Felhound....someone please help where do they hide ??

I am doing the "Shard of a Felhound" quest. I take the ruby and capture the creatures soul felhound and return it back to Menara in Ratchet.

Not called Felhound ? d'oh....mana eater ? Will look for such a thing any clue what it looks like ?

Tired of this quest but still looking.

The Felhunter also has a counter-spell skill. they are great for PvP against magic users, especially priests. who are ****** from the get go, against a warlock.

But damn, succubus' seduction, combined with fear. its almost broken. first aid is a great skill to invest in as a warlock. while the enemy is taking a 15 second gaze at my baby I can be healing us both, then fearing... again.

Really? My succubus has never done this. I've had to direct her to every time.

I screwed up, I got evrything to get my Felhunter but did not realize I was to click the Book to Summon it. Strahad Farsan went inside and created a summon cirlcle but I did not click Book ,bad move ! Now I cannot get Strahad to resummon the circle. I dont know what to do to continue, any one know what my next step is ? Help.

well, with the paranoia bug, they are the BEST tank in the game on a PvE server, as it's nigh impossible to pull hate off them. but, that probably won't be around much longer; ;.
If that gets removed, i'll most likely go back to my imp or my succy for the added dark pact mana/dps/CC.
Oh, and Slomover, I had the same thing happen to me, got booted when Strehan summoned the circle and missed my chance. Just abandon the quest, you can reactivate it at the point where he's just about to summon the circle.
