And to everyone out there who doesn't celebrate christmas, just use it as an excuse to get drunk. But only if you are old enough of course.
Happy Holiday's all. And good luck with your Winter Veil achievements.

(I'm not promoting religion btw, its just how I roll).
i find the religious caveat interesting.
i'm a ridiculously staunch atheist so this is a weird time of year for me. all these celebrations are part of my culture and basically everything but the name "christmas" was co-opted from various pagan celebrations already taking place. so i find myself still giving gifts and spending time with family and eating too much and drinking too much but i find myself trying not to say "christmas" to people (like "merry christmas").
it gets more and more ridiculous as i try to find new ways to wish people well without referring to religion.
hehe, anyway, i hope you all have had/are having/will have a very festive holiday period ^_^

So guys, now we've hit heroics and are getting used to how we work at 85, how are you finding it?
Personally I'm struggling a little with the somewhat complex demo playstyle. It feels like I'm juggling an awful lot. On tank and spank this is fine and I can maintain it at pretty much optimal levels, but when you factor in lots of movement and adds I admit it's giving me a headache. I'm not sure if I will get much better at it, so I'm considering switching to destro, which I haven't touched for a month.
Demo is considerably more difficult and requires a great deal more keybinds than it did in Wrath. And you're right, it is a awful lot to juggle. You will get better at it. Just take it (your rotation/priorities) in small chunks to better familiarize yourself with it. Go to a Dummy and do the basic rotation. Then add in macros. Hit the dummies again. Then play with your AddOns and Keybinds to ensure you can easily see the procs and cooldowns and quickly hit the right keys. Read and watch the strats again and again.
Cata has made me a better player, IMO. You now need Banish, Fear, need to have a /focus macro on those spells, etc. Improved Soul Fire needs to constantly be up, which is yet another vital mechanic to be aware of.
It's complicated but you have a lot of tools at your disposal. Axe Toss can be a life saver and give you a few extra seconds to get away or apply a Fear.
All of that aside, I've found that I need to pay more attention to the fight than the dots and cooldowns. I've gotten so used to staring at my cooldowns and hitting ISF at exactly the right time that I forgot to keep my eyes up on the fight. So, on bosses I pay more attention to my surroundings and ensure that I'm in the right place, and then I quickly glance down at my DOT's and cooldowns.
I don't know. Practice and study. Read the strats. Keep a positive attitude. Give it a week and if you're still not happy with the spec then you're justified in switching.

i'm ill so all plans are off >.<
got a bottle of gin that's going to have to wait.
btw, we got magmaw with surprising ease last night but my felguard refused to attack the boss. of course he's very useful on the adds so it's not the massive problem it might otherwise be but i wondered if anyone else was seeing that same thing?

Happy new year all. Gutted that I didn't get to go out and about. Had to go out to the whops with the folks to visit family since we were all busy over xmas. Hope you all had a better one than I did.

Not sure if I should ask here or the macro forums, but figured I'd start here. Is it possible to make a banish or fear macro that will cast banish/fear on my focus target if I have one and cast it on my main target if I do not have a focus target?
Post by

#showtooltip
/focus
/clearfocus ;
/stopmacro ;
/focus
/cast fear

Thanks for the quick reply! Works great. I am also having difficulties with the macro in the FAQ. If I put Felstorm in the macro I keep getting an "ability is not ready yet" error message. Is there any way to prevent the error message from coming up every time I cast my shadow bolt/incinerate and felstorm is on cooldown?

#showtooltip
<spell name>
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX", "0")
<cooldown stuff goes here>
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX", "1")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast
<spell name goes here>

Here is my macro.
#showtooltip Incinerate
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX", "0")
/use 13
/use 14
/use 10
/cast Felstorm
/cast Demonic Empowerment
/cast demon soul
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX", "1")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast incinerate
If I leave the Felstorm line in I get the error message. Take it out and the error message goes away. Any ideas?

don't put demon soul into nuke macros. it's fits well with meta but better still to just time it yourself.
DE is no use used on CD now. use it properly or don't bother.
edit:
also, you know, i started this expansion with felstorm macrod into everything then quickly moved to only macrod into hellfire and HoG. now i've taken it out of macros completely. it's so useful when it's useful and dangerous the rest of the time.
if you have space on your bars i'd really suggest a button for it specifically.
