| − | The Imp possesses one offensive ability and three defensive abilities. Its only mode of attack is [[Firebolt]], a ranged [[Fire]] spell. Two of its defensive abilities, [[Fire Shield]] and [[Blood Pact]] are buffs for party members. Its fourth ability, [[Phase Shift]], a non-combat buff, makes the Imp invulnerable and not targetable. Sending the Imp into combat removes Phase Shift. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Its [[Master Demonologist]] effect is to mitigate threat, and its [[Demonic Sacrifice]] effect is to increase [[Fire]] damage. |

| − | == Acquiring == |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Warlock trainer in each race's starting area has a quest for you -- supposedly it is available at level 1, but you may well be level 2 or higher by the time you find your class trainer. While the quest is possible to complete solo at level 1, it is more likely that players new to the game will accomplish it at level 3 or 4; you will have to fetch some item or items, probably killing some [[mob]]s in the process, and return it to the trainer. You'll receive the [[Summon Imp]] spell. |

||
| − | |||
| − | [[Image:Imp Samwise Art.jpg|thumb|112px|Imp art by Samwise]] |
||
| − | A common mistake some warlocks make is to tell their Imp to attack when Firebolt isn't set to [[auto-cast]]. Since Firebolt is the Imp's only attack form, this gives it nothing to do; right-click on the Firebolt button to fix it. An Imp will also not attack if it is out of mana; it will also refuse to attack [[mob]]s that are [[immune]] to [[fire]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Phase Shifted, the Imp is not capable of attracting [[threat]] or even attention from mobs. It is not supposed to be capable of setting off traps, but this is debated (one point of contention is whether it can trigger the dragon eggs in the Rookery in Upper [[Blackrock Spire]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | The [[Warlock Talents#Improved Imp|Improved Imp talent]] increases the damage done by Firebolt, the Stamina increase provided by Blood Pact, and the damage returned to attackers by Fire Shield. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A Warlock with [[Warlock Talents#Dark Pact|Dark Pact]] can set the Imp to [[Passive]] and use it as a mana "battery," since the Imp has so much mana and regenerates it quickly. This allows the Warlock to move on quickly after battles, tapping Dark Pact a time or two while running. This is not as efficient when using the Imp to attack, however, because Firebolt uses its mana quickly. Another problem with using the imp to attack is that it removes phase shift, and with the imp as vulnerable as it is, one or two attacks will destroy it. The Stamina buff from Blood Pact makes it worthwhile to have the Imp out in a party even if you don't have it attack. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If a Warlock has [[Warlock Talents#Demonic Sacrifice|Demonic Sacrifice]] or [[Warlock Talents#Master Demonologist|Master Demonologist]], the Imp's benefits under those talents (increased fire damage from spells and decreased threat from mobs) can be very useful in some situations. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although [[Soul Link]] increases the damage provided by both the Warlock and Imp, an Imp absorbing damage from a Warlock under attack will not last very long. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Imp's casting speed can be increased by taking points in the [[Improved Firebolt]] talent of the destruction tree. |
||
| − | |||
| − | One of the talents new with 2.0 is [[Mana Feed]] which is very handy for the Imp, particularly when combined with [[Improved Imp]] and [[Improved Firebolt]]. This will give your Imp up to 100% of the mana the Warlock gains from using [[Life Tap]] or [[Drain Mana]], which can help sustain his damage output. |

| − | == Imp Stats == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Here is all the Imp Stats through its levels, based off of a [[Human]] [[Warlock]] [[player]] with [[Blood Pact]] turned off. |
||
| − | Level 60 stats are based off an [[Undead]] [[Warlock]] with [[Blood Pact]] also turned off. As of Patch 2.0.1, you have to turn off all Buffs and take off all items, because now pets stats get bonuses from player stats. Patch 2.0.5 pets don't have Weapon Skill and Defense anymore. |

- For the warlock minion, see Imp (warlock minion).
Template:Racebox
The imps are a mischievous and nefarious race of small, fiendish creatures. They are granted to the Legion's warlocks as familiars. Although their frames are tiny, they are able to store tremendous amounts of fel energy.
Notable imps
Speculation
|
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
|
It is possible, based on the body structure similarities, that imps were evolved from the Grell species. In which case, they were evolved into demons during or after the War of the Ancients, much like how some elves were evolved into Satyrs.
Myth
- An Imp is a mythological being similar to a Fairy or Demon, frequently described in folklore and superstition.
