*** 05.3: Succubus [SUC1] ***
***************************************************************
Beauty is only skin deep, so don't let your eyes deceive you. The Succubus is
one of the coolest looking pets the Warlock have, a deadly vixen complete with
hooves, horns, tails and devil wings. She's also a very good pet to use when
grinding, as her low threat with high damage keeps her mostly out of harm,
while allowing you to seduce any humanoid add you may get.
The Succubus is also very commonly used in PvP, to many players disgust, as she
can be used to almost completely control the opponent by Seducing the target,
then casting a Shadow Bolt on it and reseducing it. If the Warlock is skilled
enough, this can often lead to a battle where the target is helpless as he is
reseduced between the shadowbolts before he can do anything. Most people do
think this is a cheap tactic, and while it's handy for PvE, I will admit I'm
not too keen on overusing it in PvP either.
She is useful for boosting the Warlock's damage, as she both does high damage,
her Master Demonologist buff gives both the Warlock and Succubus 10% damage
increase, and Soul Link another 3%. A Demonic Sacrificed Succubus grants the
Warlock a flat 15% Shadow Damage increase, which can be very useful if pets are
of little use in an instance and you need pure damage. She's often used with
the SM/DS Talent build, as it gives the Warlock a 25% Shadow damage increase
which is an exceptional amount of extra damage.
The Succubus is very weak though, and she does not take damage well. She can
take a little more than the Imp, and fully boosted by talents she'll have up
to/close to 2K health. Very low armor makes her vulnerable, and she's always
best to use as a low threat dps source that attacks with you, not for you like
the Walker does.

+==============+
| Lash of Pain |
+==============+
This is a special attack that the Succubus does for extra damage. Unimproved it
doesn't really do much damage, but once you reduce the cooldown to six seconds
and improve it with 30%, it starts to help. Add The Black Book and she gets
deadly.

+------+-------+-------------------------+------+------+
+===============+
| Soothing Kiss |
+===============+
A rarely used Succubus skill that looses more and more of its usefulness as you
get stronger and do more DPS. At low level, it does have it's uses as it will
reduce the Succubus's threat level on the target, and when she might do quite
abit of damage compared to you(that is, on low levels you're probably not using
+damage items at all as they help less than pure stats). What it does, is that
it reduces the threat the Succubus has built up, in an attempt to not be the
highest threat level target of the mob. If she is in trouble, this can be help
because it will cause the mob to attack you, or someone else instead.
+======+=======+========================================+======+======+

| 4 | 58 | Reduces Succubus's Threat on Target | 0 | 100 |
+------+-------+----------------------------------------+------+------+
+===========+
| Seduction |
+===========+
An excellent form of Crowd Control that makes the Humanoid completely unable
to do anything, except if it's attacked or damaged in any way, or in case if it
is another player, has a tool to break it. Target the humanoid and click on
Seduce, which will make the Succubus channel her seductive powers. Some hearts
will appear above the head of the target, an indication that the seduction is
successful. This will not last for long though, only 15 seconds unimproved.
Seduction is incredibly helpful in both PvE and PvP. For example, if you plan
to grind humanoids, Seduction will always give you time to position yourself,
move further away, cast Soul Fire uninterrupted or similar things. Just let
the Succubus seduce an out of combat target, and you can take your time. Even
during attack, you can seduce the humanoid attacking you. This has a limited
usage for Warlocks who dot though, as any damage will break it. But if you
spam Shadowbolts, you can keep many humanoids from even touching a hair on your
head by Seducing -> Shadowbolt -> Seducing -> Shadowbolt and so on. This do
require some micomanaging with your Succubus, but the results are quite good.
Unlike Sheep, a Seduced target will not regenerate health.
+======+=======+========================================+======+======+

+==============================================================+======+
| 1 | 26 | Seduces the Humanoid Target for 15 sec | 1.5 | 24% |
+------+-------+----------------------------------------+------+------+
+=====================+
| Lesser Invisibility |
+=====================+
Not as useful as the Imp's Phase Shift, but still nice in PvP when it might be
hard to notice the Succubus at times. (I've had people asking me why I didn't
have my pet up when the Succubus was in fact Invisible) Despite what it might
sound like, She's not really invisible, more see-thru.

========+=======================================+==============================
Lvl: 20 | Quest: Devourer of Souls | NPC: Gakin the Darkbinder
========+=======================================+==============================
Goal: Speak with Takar the Seer in the Barrens.
+---< Solution >--------------------------------------------------------+
| Start by going to Gakin the Darkbinder in Stormwind. |
| When you get this quest, this is no small feat. If you are on a PvP |
| server, you can pretty much expect anything. If you are on a PvE |
| server, then this is just a long journey. Takar the Seer is located |
| in a small camp slightly northeast of Camp Taurajo, directly east of |
| the entrance to Mulgore. The easiest(but probably longest) way to get |
| there, is to take the boat from Menethil Harbor in Wetlands to |
| Darkshore. Then run down to Ashenvale, and follow the main road until |
| it forks south to the Barrens. Follow the road south all the time but |
| watch out for Crossroads, as you don't want to get to close to the |
| guards. After that, just follow the road south until you reach the |
| road that forks off to Mulgore. There's an encampment nearby where |
| Takar is located. |

========+=======================================+==============================
Goal: Retrieve the Heartswood from Ashenvale and bring it to Gakin the
Darkbinder in the Mage Quarter of Stormwind.
+---< Solution >--------------------------------------------------------+
| Lousy Takar...all this running. Anyway. Heartswood is located in the |
| Northwestern part of Ashenvale, northeast of Maestra's Post. Follow |
| the road north from Atranaar, past Maestra's Post, and you'll see |
| some ruins to the east, inhabited by some nasty Warlocks. At level 20 |
| those warlocks are nothing to joke about as they can make quick work |
| of many players. Search around the area and you'll find the Tree you |
| you need. Once you have located it, head back to Gakin in Stormwind. |

========+=======================================+==============================
Goal: Use the Heartswood Core to summon and subdue a Succubus, then return
the Heartswood Core to Gakin the Darkbinder.
+---< Solution >--------------------------------------------------------+
| Same procedure as with the Voidwalker, just locate the summoning |
| circle in the basement, use the Heartswood Core to summon the Succubus|
| and defeat her. Use your Voidwalker to tank her as it makes it easier.|
| Once you have done that, return to Gakin with the Heartswood Core. |

Goal: Bring the hearts of Dalin Forgewright and Comar Villard to Carendin
Halgar in the Temple of the Damned.
+---< Solution >--------------------------------------------------------+
| Not really that hard, but it's a bit of a distance to run. Dalin is |
| located at the south end of Silverpine Forest, near the Greymane Wall.|
| Comar is located south of Thandol Span, all the way north in Wetlands.|
| To get there, you will have to run through Hillsbrad to Arathi, and |
| then south to Wetlands. Once you have killed them and found their |
| hearts, head back to Carendin in Undercity. |

========+=======================================+==============================
Goal: Use the Pure Hearts to summon and subdue a Succubus, then return the
Pure Hearts to Carendin Halg.
+---< Solution >--------------------------------------------------------+
| You should know what to do by now, just use the Pure Hearts in the |
| Summoning Circle to summon the Succubus and defeat her, and return to |
| Carendin with the Pure Hearts. Using the voidwalker to taunt her is a |
| good idea. |
