I just finished pimping out my Pet and now he is a void thing. Still got my Imp, but I am not using him at the mo because he isn't as strong as my void beast. Something interesting is that to cunjor the void beast I have to use a soul shard. Now to collect a soul shard I have to cast a spell on my enemies at the moment of their death, and in doing that I catch their soul in a chrystal shard which I can then use to create my pet or to self-resurrect when I die.
Ok I admit it, WOW is growing on me, but I still don't like exploring a new area and getting killed by the first thing I see.
