Suffering is one of the four Warlock's pet Voidwalker's spells.

Suffering is an Area of Effect taunt that allows a Voidwalker to generate threat on multiple enemies. The effect increases with the rank. Rank 5 and above also reduces enemies' chance to hit by 10% for 15 seconds.

Suffering is on a 2-minute cooldown and, as with Torment, is a Shadow effect that can be resisted.

Tactics

It is very useful if you happen to get an add or two and want the Voidwalker to hold them off while you run, bandage yourself or try your best to tackle them.

This ability can be placed on auto-cast; like Torment, it will then be used whenever possible while in combat when there is more than one mob. Because of the long cooldown, putting the spell on auto-cast will usually guarantee that it's not available when you need it the most.

Although intended as AoE threat generation, it can also be cast manually against single targets for aggro-sensitive battles. It generates more threat than Torment.
