Kickmydog BM/MM/SV Hunter Profiles.

[kickmydog]

I have been publishing my hunter profile now since the Firelands I believe.

I finally decided to make my own thread so that it is easier for people to report profile problems and suggest ideas to improve it.

My profiles are designed for PVE, not to be fancy and to make it easy for new coders to modify the code to suit themselves. I try where possible to use the simplest code so that you can understand it and modify it to suit your own needs.

Within the profile there are several extra abilities that may or may not be included within the actual rotations, feel free to add/remove as you like to make the perfect rotation for you.

PQR: BM/MM/SV profiles. Version 38, Patch 5.4

Using my profiles in the past I've managed to rank 2nd on WOL (the profiles best so far), and regularly rank otherwise (when my guild actually decides to not cancel raids.)

It is important to note that not everything is automated in the profile and you have to manually choose when it is best to use certain things like Barrage in an AOE fight for example and DPS cooldowns.

Healthstones are used.

Controls

Left CTRL - Mouseover Serpent Sting

Right CTRL - Barrage

Left SHIFT - Binding Shot, Intimidation, Wyvern Sting (Mouseover)

Right SHIFT - Rapid Fire + Stampede

Left ALT - Trap Launching Sequence (Explosive Trap > Snake Trap > Ice Trap)

Right ALT - Mouseover Scatter Trap (if target is selected Scatter Shot, if ground is selected Freezing Trap)


Rotation Breakdown

Single Target - Optimized for One Target.

Cleave - Single Target with Arcane Shot replaced with Multi-shot to keep uptime with Serpent Sting or BeastCleave. (nothing as yet for MM since there really isn't any bonus cleave mechanics for them.)

AOE - Optimized for multi-target dps.

Kiting - Concussive Shot is high priority in the single target rotation

How to report a problem with the profile.

If you have a problem with the profile that you want to bring to my attention for a fix make sure that you include the following information:

Your hunter's level
Your hunter's specialization
Your hunter's talent choices
Your hunter's focus level when the problem happens
What ability is it stalling it at or what abilities are on cooldown when it gets stuck?
What are you targeting?
Any other pertinent information.

Just saying it doesn't work will probably get a rude reply.


Known Issues.

Currently there is a known issue with double Cobra Shot and Steady Shots happening.
This is not a problem with the profile itself but a problem with the way that focus generation works for hunters.

Focus is generated when the generating shot hits the target.
If there is flight time delay then the profile will identify that you do not have enough focus currently.
It will then line up another focus generating shot, while that is being cast your original focus generating shot hits and grants focus.

No Plans to Support

Auto Disengage when low on health.
Auto Deterrence when low on health.
Use of DPS pots

FAQ

Black Arrow is not being applied to the target.
The target needs to have at least twice your max hit points before Black Arrow is used.
Remove

and UnitHealth("target") > (UnitHealth("player")*2)

Thanks for the profile! Do you have a method of PQR for just traps, like disable rotation and just do a trap on someone (for pvp uses)? I'd love a 100% trap placement haha.

Using the keys indicated should stop the rotation while the traps are deployed. However if traps are deployed or on cooldown the rotation will not stop.

Updated to version 27

- Improved Bestial Wrath usage. upped my dps a fair bit.
- Misdirection will no longer be used if your target is a player.
- Reverted back to slightly older MD code until I can fix the issues with the new version. (This will result in MD not being used if there is no tank role in scenarios and secondary tanks getting MDs if the primary tank has good threat on the target in raids.

and what is "camo (KMDSV_MOP)" ??

Just something I use personally to stay in camo 100% of the time when I afk on my pvp server.

Beast Mastery seemed to work smoothly, but Survival's single target rotation wasn't firing Black Arrow for some reason, I double checked and it is enabled in the Rotation Editor, any ideas? Btw this was just on a target dummy, no raid environment involved.

Could you tell me what sort of focus level it was maintaining?
What shot it was using instead?
What talents have learned?
If the target has at least 2 times as many hit points as you have. (training dummies have 1 hit point). This stops you wasting black arrow on targets that will die before the full duration is used up. Some Dummies have 1 hit point.

When I try the SV rotation on a level 93 target dummy it fires black arrow.
