Soul Link Warlocks: Soul Link warlocks are so described because they are specced 31 into the Demonology, tree, using the final skill, Soul Link. This creates a link between the warlock and the pet, transferring 30% of the damage taken by the stoneage2 Gold warlock to the summoned demon. It is essentially 30% damage reduction from every damage source, as long as your pet is alive, and is probably the best damage mitigation spell in the game.

Soul Link warlocks are the survivalists of PvP. While they have no heals, through the use of Health-stones and Drain Life, they can restore life, and can be extremely difficult to kill. They can also put out some good damage, through instant cast DoT’s and Shadow-bolts when combined with Fear.

If you are a caster (particularly a mage), you are really going to struggle against a Soul Link warlock with a Felhunter out. Whatever you do, don’t try and kill the pet, as it will have massive resists.

A third trick to note is the use of Fel Domination. This will reduce the cast time of your next summon to .5 seconds, which while not instant, is virtually un-interruptible. This should be used in conjunction with a Void-walker to give yourself and instant shield.
