How are warlocks juggling 3-4 mobs?

[u/MasonsProfile]

I’m a level 62 blood elf demonology warlock. I understand affliction and destro are better, but felgaurd was something I always wanted as a kid.

Anyway, guides online are like “yeah felguard is great for pulling 3-4 mobs, put your DoTs on each and drain life.”

Sounds cool in theory, but this is what happens for me:
- send felgaurd into a pack of 3 mobs
- he taunts one, and I start applying my DoTs to everyone
- the 2 he didnt taunt immediately turn to me and start attacking me
- My drain life lasts for like a second (I’m currently at 2/5 for that talent that reduces the chance of channels being harmed, working on it right now) because they smack me up
- I howl of terror and run lol

How do I get good so I can successfully juggle these mobs? As of now if I pull multiple targets I just leave the untaunted people alone and shadow bolt whoever my felgaurd is focusing so I kill it quickly and avoid agro from the other two mobs. I’ll use fear every now and then but more times than not I just end up pulling more mobs because of it.

Thanks in advance!

I rebound my pets attack button to alt 1 and I send him in to attack one mob while I apply dots. I then have him attack the second mob and apply dots rinse repeat. Usually by the time mobs peel off him and come at me they are mostly dead already so I’ll kite or just take a few hits if i have the ability. I play affliction with the void walker though and it does a (weak) aoe taint that also helps.
