The doomguard is already an extraordinarily powerful tool and is completely controllable nowadays being summoned and enslaved for a full 15 of every 30 minute cooldown. /mourns the loss of warlock roulette
I was wondering what talents if any in demonology benefit or apply to this monstrosity and if in fact a sufficient amount do then this could very well bring demo in line with affl and destro.
Cast
Ritual of Doom
, enjoy your ICBM of a demon, when his 15 minutes are up pop
Fel Domination
and summon your doomguard till RoD is ready again. but it all depends whether doomy does in fact benefit from/apply to a sufficient amount of talents.

Just soul link. All others talents like demonic tactics and demonic pact only apply to the perma-pets.
Correct.
They are enslaved pets and as such they don't activate deep demo talents.

so in regards to that he'd most benefit affl replacing the felhunter when added dps is needed huh. would like to see some talents involving this little guy now that he's controllable.

That is correct...sometimes I pull him out as destro, but most often I don't since the imp gives more crits.

yup, simcraft shows that in the current game version a doomguard benefits a destro lock
very slightly
but this will almost certainly change with the change to empowered imp in the patch.
ironically, doomguards will never be demo pets.

Unless of course, deep demo talents apply like Demonic Empowerment and Master Demonologist.
which they don't, if they did there would be a lot more demo warlocks.

The two demonology talents that you will get from any demon summoned or enslaved are soul link and demonic knowledge. I don't see the doomguard as being extremely beneficial to demo players because a lot of the spec is geared towards making your summoned minion better and having your summoned minion make you better.
Oh and don't quote me on this but i think you may also get the demonic pact buff whenever your doomguard crits.

Kindof a bummer that the most powerful demon actually benefits one of the already most powerful lock specs the most (affliction, replacing the almost nonexistent fulhunter dps) and is a deterrence to demonology locks sacrificing their buffed/player buffing demon. Would like to see more inclusion of the doomguard and infernal in future talents for demo giving it some viability.

Can anyone varify these talent contributions, fel synergy maybe? Also what are his actual stats ie. stamina/int endgame? ppl tend to only tell his health/mana pool size.
