Soloing the Soul

[Mercurio]

Thanks traedoril. I plugged in your macros, updated spec and glyphs, and tried it out. The DPS was OK, but less than I was getting with Destro.

However, you inspired me to do a bit more work and figure out what Demonology was all about. I tried to optimize things a bit and not rely on being in melee range (my ranged casters are not in melee range much of the time). I was also looking at your macros and I'm not sure why you'd have things like Corruption in both macros since timing is what we are about and there is no way to control that with both sequences going at once. Here's what I came up with:

Demonology Sequence Macro:
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=12 Immolate,Corruption,Incinerate,Bane of Doom,Hand of Gul'dan, Curse of the Elements,Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate,Life Tap,Corruption,Hand of Gul'dan,Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate,Incinerate, Immolate,Incinerate,Hand of Gul'Dan,Corruption,Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate,Hand of Gul'Dan,Incinerate,Incinerate, Incinerate
/cast Metamorphosis
/cast Summon Doomguard
/petattack [@target]
/cast Demonic Empowerment

Demonology Proc Macro:
/stopmacro [channeling]
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=30 SoulBurn,Soul Fire
/cast Shadow Bite
/cast Demon Soul
/cast Shadowburn
/use 13
/use 14

Over the long term the DPS is about the same as Destro. However, over the first two minutes of a fight the DPS is substantially higher for Demonology.

Again, thanks for the tip! I'll add these macros to my 2-Step Macro post for posterity.
