How to: healing a Warlock Tank
At first glance, healers new at healing a warlock might be confused in terms of healing the pet or the warlock so hopefully reading this will make the understanding better.
Dark Regeneration: For 12 Seconds, I will regenerate 30% of my HP and all heals on me will be 25% higher. Healers should take advantage of this buff during crazy shit moments.
Double Team Tanking Mode #1 (Trash)
If I have my Voidwalker out and along with the Soul link buff, this means I am going to tanking in mode #1. I tend to use this mode for clearing trash simply because my pet will be tanking some mobs and I will be tanking some mobs this will reduce all damage received plus with the help of Soul link (50% damage & healing spit between me and my pet), I will take significant low damage even without using any defensive Cool down.
Depending on what healing class is paired with me, some notes worthy points are that putting a shield on my pet or healing my pet is as good as healing me instead because all healing are spilt equally.
My Voidwalker has his own powerful defence cooldown so he is very much a powerhouse Tank by himself. My own Tank defence CD skills are completely different from him. By dual tanking, my pet gets to use his defence CD to negate damage with my using my own defence CD to negate damage on different enemy.
Single Tanking Mode # 2 (Boss)
Depending on my talent selection, I can both have my pet out and sacrificed my pet and be in tanking mode #2.
As a healer, if you were to see my Voidwalker out during a Boss fight, this means I have turned his threatening presence off (Aggro skill). He will continue to attack the boss and doing good damage but not stealing aggro from me as I will be the single tanking during the boss for direction and positioning control.
If I have Grimoire of Sacrifice talented then I will be sacrificing my Voidwalker to gain a powerful buff. (+20% HP, 2% HP regen, 30% HP CD skill/2min, + 30% damage increase) In this stance, you the healer will only see me without any pets.
The warlock using Dark Bargain which makes him immune to all damage for 8 seconds. Also along with many other skills that a normal tank have. Healers need to be aware of this so they are prepared to heal me if such a situation ever happens.
