History of the Warlock Pet Doomguard (Vanilla WoW to BFA)

Doomguard was in warcraft 1, 2 and 3, being the very first demons in warcraft lore, originally just called “Daemons” Their general appearance has kept quite the same over the many years, but they have changed a fair bit throughout the games history.

Years ago when my first guild was fighting Lucifron, one of my fellow warlock players used Curse of Doom on one of his adds and it got the killing blow, the doomgaurd that spawned killed him before turning on the healers. I quickly dismissed my demon and enslaved it so as to prevent a wipe, then used it for the rest of the fight, man that was a good laugh for the guild.

Daio the decrypted actually works up in accounting at amazon.

I remember back in Vanilla, I was in Iron Forge, vendoring crap when a Horde pvp Raid attacked the city. First all the Warlocks summoned Infernals and let them loose on the city, then they summoned as many Doomguards as they could and let those loose on the city. They ended up leveling the city. Despite getting annihilated by an enemy faction, I still thought it was pretty epic.

Even has been sent to the Hall of Fame in Hearthstone. Poor little Doomguard 🥺

As Gul'dan stated in HOTS "When the warlock clans first formed their simple incantations it could barely summon spiders, Summoning a demon... it was merely a dream. AND BACK THEN dAEmon had an A in it, LIKE I INTENDED.... It sounds more mystical that way"

When WoW first came out I was like, 5, and didn't understand how to play, but my sister did play with my dad and I remember when she first got her Doomguard on her Warlock I thought she was so cool lmao.

"... lost to history..." wow you have given me chills... you reminded me of Hayven Games, Rest Well

Aff Lock main here and I miss my d00mguard

Imagine if instead of a summon it was a transformation, I love unique abilities like this and made for very different gameplay. Ah, old WoW really was something

[greenchilistudioz]

R.I.P Permanent Infernal and Doomguard pets :(

[reneesimmons]

Daio the decrepit, not Daio the decrypted lol

Once in TOC, patch 3.2 (WotLK). I used My spell "ritual of summ doomguard".

People in The raid didnt know about what was It, so I asked em to click.

Raid Lead died, and I got kicked from The raid, but I laughed a lot 😂

Great video! I think that is Warcraft 2 with the oil/gold/lumber resources @ 0:28 & 10:42 (I'm sure the clips are just there for visuals). Warcraft 1 had just gold/lumber. Love the vids man! Keep em up, Cheers!

I remember solo'ing some of the vanilla quests for this back in the day, specifically the elite mobs in winterspring. Absolute nightmare, but odd how those memories have stuck with me all this time! :)

I remember in Wrath I managed to get the killing blow with Curse of Doom twice in raids and everyone starting to cheer after the boss kill only to be interrupted by (very briefly) fighting the summoned doomguard

I need Legion Demo back. Right now with 1k haste my army is... passable. Particularly in the time following Nether Portal.


At the end of Legion with optimized haste, set bonuses, and of course Artifact Weapon shenanigans, I WAS the Legion.


Yes Demo was overpowered from NH on, what's your point >.>

[lazaros]

can confirm the Doom talent does summon the doom guard if the conditions are made

[MasterofrandomAlex]

Oh wow, I wish they had more epic quest lines like this!

Technically, warlocks still have the summon doomguard spell. It can only be used at the altar in the Dreadscar Rift (legion warlock class hall), which I don't believe is accessible any longer. Every time I login, if I have an empty spot on my action bar, summon doomguard is automatically added because it's the first warlock spell in a warlock's spell book, being that it is listed on the first tab of the spell book, where racials exist.

I've been maining Warlock since WotLK. Warlocks have gained a lot of fun interesting abilities between now and then, and the vast majority of these abilities have been removed. One of these is of course, the doomguard spell. I used to heavily associate my characters identity with the fact that he used a terrorguard as his pet. Now I can't use the terrorguard, or even the doomguard, at all. I stopped playing WoW because they seem to remove everything enjoyable about my class for no good reason.
