Guys, did you notice if the prayer of spirit bug with demonic pact is fixed? I was in a 5 man today where it was firing off, and everyone in the party had prayer of spirit.

I'm wondering if this was just me being lucky or if it was, in fact, fixed.

It seems fixed for me as well. I was able to consistently and reliably reproduce the bug in every single 5 man or raid with a priest until sometime last week, and I have been running with prayer of spirit since.

It is very obvious to me when DP falls off, as I have the DP icon show center-screen with TellMeWhen when the buff is up.

Stand in the fire? CHAOS BOLT!

It happened again to me last night. It did not last week. YMMV.

Yeah. Happened to me too, although not that often. Sometimes it bugs and sometimes don't. I had to create a macro to dispell PoS from me during the fight just in case.

Well, I was testing my dps on a dummy when I noticed that the ticks of corruption were doing less damage when the dummy was already affected with the shadow embrace debuff , what should be + 10% damage appeared to be l-10% damage.

I've seen that as well. While I was in ICC last night I noticed a drop in my dps, so I looked through my damage done and what should have been 34% corruption was a measly 21% of total damage. Testing on the dummy I found that I was suffering from the same "buff -> debuff" situation.

Did you have other affliction locks in your raid? I recall a while back there was a bug where you couldn't have two (or more) haunts up; perhaps it resurfaced?

I was in a ten man last night, as demo i noticed when my raid had the Drums of the Wild on the Demonic pact buff was not applied. When we clicked off the buff we started getting Demonic pact again.

It will be interesting to see how the 3.3.2 Demonic Pact buff interacts with the current buggy mechanic. Since the raid buff can no longer simply be calculated by taking 10% spell power, they may have introduced new code or spell identification to properly subtract the extra personal 5% added in the patch. Full retesting of Demonic Pact will be in order when applied to live servers.

DP increases spell damage, meaning your spells deal 10% more damage (5% until 3.2.2). It does not however increase your ammount of spell power by 10% (or 5%).
The raidbuff is stil calculated the same way it was before the talent change.

There is currently a bug that makes the first application of demonic pact 5% more powerful than it should be, the current assumption is that this comes from the "increases your spell damage by 5%".

The mind is like a parachute. It works best when it's open.

Has anyone experienced the oddity of your imp's gcd activating at random while just hanging around in a raid? All his abilities will flash 3 times in a row and then a minute or two later the same thing happens.
Since I can't see my imp's castbar I'm wondering if this bug is possibly stopping his casts when we are in combat? Have no idea what causes it.

It is possible you have Fire Shield on auto-cast. When Fire Shield is on auto-cast, he will cast it on people when they take damage if they don't already have a Fire Shield buff.

I've noticed that whenever a priest casts PW:S, any of my summoned demons' abilities all activate GCD.

Yup, is does indeed appear to be priest shield causing it. Very odd. Does your imp get, if you use one, get interrupted when in combat by this?
I'm gonna install quartz for my next raid so I can keep an eye on it.

Fire shield is not on auto dhaliana.

Edit:

It also happens from paladin blessings. Seems random.

Appears there's a bug on Blood Queen for Human Demonology Warlocks.

This occurred to me last night. I was a Vampire, I was Metamorphed, and flight phase began, so was feared. I was incapable of using Every Man for Himself while these three conditions were in effect (Vampire, Metamorphed, and Feared and not in Frenzied Bloodthirst). If I was either a Vampire or Metamorphed while feared, I could use Every Man for Himself.

More than likely you had just gotten frenzied blood thirst (i.e. you had to bite someone), when that happens you cannot do anything except bite.

No, as I noted in the initial post, I was not in Frenzied Bloodthirst (we were timing the bites so that the Frenzied Bloodthirsts would fall outside the flight phase so that everyone could be spread out to minimize damage).

Last night I was running POS heroic, I threw out a seed, the exact second I did the pally used Repentance. Not only did seed damage the mob, but it did not break Repentance, I continued this for the duration of the mob fight, it did not break until someone else struck that mob directly. (Repentance target was not the one with the seed on it.)

I've noticed a weird bug with Drain Soul. I currently have 1003 haste (11.49 second channel time), and if I channel Drain Soul for the full duration, sometimes I won't get the last tick, i.e. the Drain Soul buff will fade from me before the last damaging tick occurs. The first 4 ticks are as normal, but whether I get the 5th tick or not seems to be somewhat random. I'm not entirely sure how to reproduce it, I'm assuming it's latency-based, since that's the only variable in my tests.

I'd appreciate if you guys could carry out some tests and let me know if you're experiencing it as well - simply going to some training dummies and channelling Drain Soul over and over should be sufficient.

[edit] Seems this is a known bug. (thanks, duhwhat)

Its been the case since at least WOTLK launch. Simply do not go past 4 ticks.

I've been observing that Demonic Charge does not seem to work correctly on Boss level mobs. Against bosses and target dummies, using it triggers the cooldown but produces no movement effect. It does produce movement against permanently stun-immune non-boss mobs and temporarily stun-immune players.

Anybody notice their Corruption not getting refreshed by EA sometimes since they put in Shadow Bolt/Drain Soul? It's fallen off for me multiple times on fights like Festergut where there's simply no way it would fall off normally. And I don't mean right at the end, I mean not refreshing it for a full 10 seconds where I get off 3-4 spells.

This is happening to me with only my Imp and my Felhunter. My theory is that it's when somebody enters Blood Pact/Fel Intelligence range.

I observed the same with the Felguard out, out of combat, just hanging out in a raid. This seems to occur at random times; I haven't observed anything that could trigger it.
