[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[diesall]

a few iideas for improvements:
--more macro manual rotation slots, or at least a way of telling which key is down(not modifiers). I have about 14 rotations(using a messed up list of weird hooks and psuedo code, which makes editing it a nightmare)

--the interruption list being xml instead of hardcoded, i have about 50 spells i have on my interrupt priority list, hand entering them on every update is tedious and perhaps a manual(mashable macro) /auto mode toggle for interrupts , to make interrupt rotations on raid bosses easier

[DKVance73]

He really doesn't have outbreak or icy touch anywhere in there?

You should always have both plagues up as blood dk. Blood Plague makes them do 10% less damage to you, and Frost Fever makes their attacks slower.

However I will use this as a reference point as I complete my Rotations for Release. AOE seems like it's gonna be an annoyance after all

*edit*
for the record, I'm basing my build rotation around Blood | DK endgame tanking [4.x] - Elitist Jerks and the builds they recommend. I did like the idea of free interrupts obviously since i don't have to worry about casting them anymore

I was skeptical about Lichbourne myself, but then I also considered solo tanking. Who better to heal you if not yourself
If there is another build you would want me to base my rotation on than that, let me know.

Yeah the Icy Touch and Outbreak don't fire off no matter where I put it in that rotation. And I tried an AOE one but no matter what it would either just keep firing Blood Boil and skip Pestillence or vice versa. At least this will help you. I only use it for soloing instances/bosses and it keeps my alive. But nothing more, hence why I put it here to see if experts like you could help out

Ok i'm 90% sure I have everything I want in this thing now. It's working quite well on mobs, haven't given it another trial run in a heroic yet though.... but do you guys mind if I just post all my rotations for DK together? Gonna be a pain to get each individual ability outside of my mess of an XML file..... Or would you prefer I somehow extract each ability and post it in a code block?

alright here yall go

Doesn't seem as fluid as my Unholy I released, but that's probably because of so many checks I put into it in order for this thing to not just spam all of your ****s away haha

Modifiers are as follows:
Hold Shift- Pauses the entire rotation allowing you to cast things such as Death and Decay, Raise Dead, Raise Ally, etc off of your bar
Hold Control- Death Grips whoever you are currently hovering your Mouse over (IE an add you lost threat to and is running towards the ****ing mage)
Hold Alt- Dark Command, works exactly the same as Death Grip with Mouseover

Currently have to run out, but will go more in detail what this thing does when i get back.

*edit*
Heart Strike casts under these two circumstance. You have 2 blood ****s, or blade barrier isn't currently up.
Blood Boil works the exact same way for the AOE rotation.
Death Strike will cast under these two circumstances. You have under 50% health. You currently don't have Blood Shield.
**** Tap will only be cast if WotN procced, or you are currently under 50% health.

I left it up to the users discretion when to cast Icebound Fortitude, Dark Simulacrum, Vampiric Blood, Lichbourne and Dancing **** Weapon. (In another release I may add a death coil ability that checks if you currently have Lichborne on you and then casts Death Coil on yourself if you do.)

Those abilities I've described are the bread and butter of Blood DK's and survival, and that seemed the best way to conserve ****s and get the most out of the ability themselves. If you have issues with how that are working let me know

I tried it and the AOE rotation seems "off" as if it's not gathering the mobs quick enough, but that may be just me being a noob. LOL.

[bu_ba_911]

Are you using the pause to first cast death and decay? That should be the only thing u need to gather them, and there currently isn't any way to do a Death and Decay on mouseover.

About to go edit my post and explain how i set this thing up so people understand it

Ok cool, so start the rotation, hit shift to pause, drop DnD and then shift again to start it?

[bu_ba_911]

Nah, you hold shift, cast dnd and then release shift

holding shift is telling PQR to cast no spell, so you then have time to do things the rotation would otherwise not allow you to do because it's spamming so much....

i have my DnD set to Shift+middle click, so that ways when i hold shift to stop PQR i only need ot middle click in order to click DnD

fyi i recommend Normal rotation for anything under 4 mobs, anything 4 mobs and higher i recommend aoe rotation

*edit*

if anyone has suggestions or ideas please share them

i plan on using this to gear up my DK and don't wanna look/be fail haha

I haven't tanked since Wrath days so my methodoligy might be wrong in how i constructed my idea of a good priority queue and such

Hello, fail Apparatus of Khaz'goroth, what could be the problem?

local buff ,_,_, TPCount = UnitAura ("player", "titanic power")
local CD = GetItemCooldown ("68 972")

if buff ~ = nil then
if CD ~ = true and TPCount == 5 and UnitHealth ("target")> = 300 000 then
return true
end
end

Yeah I took mine out of my rotations and just manually click to activate it, it doesn't work all the time.

Protection Warrior:

- Hold the aggro! logic changed. Rotation will pause if target of target is a TANK and is not you

Fury Warrior:

- Sunder armor: fixed 5 seconds delay, was not working as should

Hunter MM:

- Tranquilizing Shot now have a blacklisted spell list (only one at this moment)
- Rapid Fire is casted if Aimed Shot cast time is > 1.8 sec
- Raptor strike will not attack again if steady shot is in range
- Hold down LEFT CONTROL to cast Scatter Shot at mouseover

Holy Priest:

Noticed main problem healing raids is the rotation is too fast. Because human reaction is slower we heal everyone till mana is gone and other healers in raid waste their mana overhealing. No idea how to fix that but is fun being top healing meters always

I just tried this new hunter rotation, there seems to be a problem with it however, it just sits there and auto shoots, along with casting misdirection on my pet over and over again. I do have the glyph. If i remove misdirection from the rotation it still just autoshoots.

I'm not sure what is is trying to do, but I keep getting spammed with "You can't do that yet"

doesn't work on target dummy
you need to find a real mob

take the space out between 68 972 to start with.

mine works flawlessly. make sure your target has 300,000+ health. dont test on dummy. i use mine for pvp bound to recklessness, blood fury, sweeping strikes, retaliation and inner rage. famous warrior 1shot macro auto procced at 5 stacks its pure win.

i make the hp @ >50,000hp.

Why an earth would it not worth on a dummy, the previous ones did!

[kclux]

Why an earth would it not worth on a dummy, the previous ones did!

That is because of the combat checks that are being executed and the dummy is not a real enemy targetting you to fight back. I really love how Sheuron does those checks but not being able to use a target dummy is the only reason that makes me hesitate from using them. Maybe there is a way around that ?
