Dawn in Tanaan
pet mirror + reflecting prism = fun times
I’m terrible at updating social media.
Between actually raiding, class and real life I completely dropped off tumblr for a while. Sorry!
I still main my hunter but I’m also alt raiding on my priest, and am in the process of leveling a rogue and mage to 100. I’m going to be using these dps alts as a playground for new UI designs. Updates to come..
next up: making an aura so I don't forget to dismiss my pet when I'm using lone wolf
bless this guy
Finally got the gray steed from the Argent Tournament dailies!
I see multitasking as functionally similar to reaction time: it can be improved, but some people just have an easier or harder time of it than others.
I strongly believe in playing to your strengths and maximizing the performance gains from your efforts. Instead of improving my multitasking ability (which I'd say is average at best), I first focus on reducing the total amount of conscious attention I even need to use.
To this end, I find trigger-based notifications more useful than timer bars because each notification can be associated directly with a set meaning, rather than a timer whose meaning (i.e. time remaining) changes constantly. Muscle memory and anything that can be intuitively understood can and should also be cultivated to further shorten the list of things you have to actively pay attention to.
Likely one of the first things committed to memory when learning a new game is how to move your character.
Familiarity with your GCD, cooldowns, and the speed at which your class resource regenerates (i.e. Focus) can allow you to better map out your rotation with less effort and error. May require some relearning if your haste rating changes, damnit.
For me, the challenge of raiding is not about figuring out what to do. It's about figuring out how to do it even better by reducing human error.

I use a combination of several addons to create my timers, auras, etc.
"Theorycraft"
I would like to point out nice and early that I have little interest in discussing what most people consider to be 'theorycraft' - the math behind stat weights, optimal talents, BiS lists, etc,.
The good folks at Elitist Jerks (and many other class-specific blogs and forums) have already done the math. The numbers are there, there's nothing further for me to discuss. Many talent choices boil down to playstyle and individual fight mechanics.
No, I will be writing about the art of pressing buttons: phase-specific rotations, and the use of movement abilities, for example.
I thought about how to best introduce the purpose of this blog, and then I realized it's already been explained! Check out this excellent post by Hamlet. I highly recommend.
tl;dr - this blog will serve as an archive of my macros, custom addon edits and discussions of the way I play my class in the pursuit of better raid awareness [maximum parsimony of attention during a boss fight.]
There will also be doodles, psychology, and asks are always open. Here we go!
