The Voidwalker is best used for soloing situations as a tank. He has high armor, health, and only does moderate damage. With further points into the demonology tree, such as Improved Voidwalker, pulling aggro from him will be difficult (unless you have a lot of epics).
The voidwalker can learn 4 abilities:
- Torment: Taunts a target to try to get it to attack the Voidwalker
- Suffering: Taunts all mobs within 10 yards to attack the Voidwalker
- Consume Shadows: Consumes nearby shadows to regain health. This helps decrease downtime
- Sacrifice: Sacrifice the Voidwalker so that you gain a shield which protects you from all attacks for a few seconds. This helps when you see that you're in a sticky situation and need to run.

Its really bad when you are a gnome :(
I have had my voidwalker say, "I. Am. Void. Where prohibited." a number of times. Usually when clicking Consume Shadows, though he did it once after I told him to attack.
Just something amusing Blizzard threw in.
