[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[LtButterman]

So I was able to just add Bubba's pvp abilities with Boss's SD profile and works better than preview arms pvp modded one as far as dps on dummy. I am trying to build a prot pvp one now for rbg's flag carrying and node camping. Problem is both stance abilities for the genteleman are worked out for dps arms not prot and will not change to proper stance at critical moments such as shattering throw. Anyone else interested in this?

Is there an updated Arms PVP profile for arena/bgs? I've been lookin but havent found one thats working properly, yet.

@Cahonez
Testing out your balance profile now I'll let you know how it stands.

[edit]

after some dummy tests your profile's probably the best one around lol does optimal dps and no random starsurge casts. Hats off to you, sir.

Why thank you very much. It still needs a bit of fine tuning though, thinking about putting some more raid friendly abilities in. Busy at the moment, but perhaps i'll get round to it next week.

Np. I PMd you with some minor bugs, that I only came across after an entire day of using it lol

Well, if Bu_ba or Kaolla have time, there acctually ARE ways to ensure maximum dps which are quite *complex* imo, idk how hard it would be to work into PQR.
This is the Unholy DK topic on EJ Unholy DPS | My Friend of Misery [4.3.0] - Elitist Jerks
I would love help creating a profile, but i just cannot understand the language. Ill try understanding it again .
If anyone would like to make a better Unholy profile i can provide some details on how to make the rotation optimal.

they would need to first find a way to drop dnd by itself. Until then unholy with pqr will be subpar

I have tried borrowing other code that would drop dnd like the flamestrike code, trap launcher and rain of fire but I could never get it to fire off

Amazing bot, thank you.

reupload for the guy, let me know if it is ever down again.

Thanks, will test it out now.

Has anyone figured out whats wrong with ash's restro druid profile and not using swiftmend? cause it's annoying me =[ i wont it to use it on CD almost. it'll cast on my self perfectly if i go below 90% after it nourish's. but it just rarly applies on anyone else

[Gabbz]

If i want to cast something based on if it is less then 3 seconds left of a CD, how do i do that?

I disagree. Kaolla has it so you push a modifier button and it lays down DnD on your cursor position. That may be considered subpar if you really wanna use PQR and dont do anything else, but its not that much of a problem to press a button every 30sec manually. It would also be a dps LOSS on AoE fights because i guess it would spawn dnd exactly under the mob, which may then not hit other mobs. The way Kaolla has it you can CHOOSE where to lay down the DnD. Thats OK imo.

I started looking into the profiles with the intetnion to get to know the code more and I have a question:

local dbFrostFever, _, _, _, _, _, dbexpire = UnitDebuffID("target",55095, "player")

whats all that _,_,_,??

[Gabbz]

local dbFrostFever, _, _, _, _, _, dbexpire = UnitDebuffID("target",55095, "player")

whats all that _,_,_,??

It is unused parameters returned from the function. Ie in your case the function "UnitDebuffID()" is returning a couple of things. The first thing is stored in a variabel called dbFrostFever. Then the next coupe of values you just ignore meaning _, but you want to save the 7th value into dbexpire.

The function is defined as such

name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId 
 = UnitDebuff("unit", index or ["name", "rank"][, "filter"])

Basically take the name, ignore rank, icon, count, debuffType and duration but save expirationTime.

Spent alot of time testing various things to sort that problem and from the best I can tell it's partly because of some Rejuv/Regrowth code problems and partly because it has standards on when it would cast, rather than how most Druids do it and just cast it regardless...

Having said that here's an updated version that adds a few changes as well as some encounter specific updates:

RestoDruid_Ash_Profile.rar

Let me know if that helps and I'll do a little more to it before I do a proper release

I noticed that some people's profiles have with one button press they can change the order of their rotation, for example switching from single target to AOE.

Would any of you advanced programmers care to share how this is done. I have tried looking through the code for some of them, but I really do not get it.

[Tyron1989]

Hi ask, thanks for the "testing" profile i'll do some testing, i a raid using it at the moment :P seems to be ok but still havnt noticed it using swiftmend =/

I personally dislike switching to AOE mode like that, except in Sheuron's fire mage profile where you hold shift to AOE... that works great. Whenever I press CTRL+S for example to turn on/off sound it turns on AOE mode!

In any case...

you make an ability, like this:
docs/api categories - World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons

Name: Switch Modes:
Spell ID: 0
Code:

if PQ_Mode == nil then
    PQ_Mode = 1
    PQ_ChangeTimeout = GetTime() - 1
end


if IsLeftControlKeyDown() then
    if PQ_ChangeTimeout < GetTime() then
        PQ_ChangeTimeout = GetTime() + 2


        if PQ_Mode == 1 then
            PQR_WriteToChat("AOE Mode Enabled.")
            PQ_Mode = 2
        else
             PQR_WriteToChat("Single Target Mode Enabled.")
            PQ_Mode = 1
        end
    end
end

Change the GetTime() + 2 to whatever timeout you want, to prevent it rapidly switching back and forth. Put this ability at the top of your rotation.

You then make abilities that check the PQ_Mode global variable. For example, if an ability is single target only, at the top put:

if PQ_Mode ~= 1 then return false end

If an ability is AOE only, at the top put:

if PQ_Mode ~= 2 then return false end

[Tyron1989]

ash i just had a thought... coulld you recode nourish so after you cast it, it checks is rejuv is on target > if not cast it? if not just nourish?
