[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[momo1029]

Valma's warlock profiles are great! There are a few issues though.

First off it uses Bane of Agony instead of Bane of Doom. I've simcrafted this just to check how much of a dps loss it is, and it is HUGE! This definitely needs to be changed in order to maximize DPS.

Also, it doesn't use any cooldowns on bosses in heroics, only raid bosses. It would be nice if you could add a "cooldown key" hit that key and it will pop all your cooldowns.

Thanks Valma Great Work!

you can change the code on targeting to == 87 so it will use cd on heroic boss
but if you do that, it will also use CD in DS raid with those trash that's lvl 87

this is an issue on live servers with Druid Boomkin to.... I haven't found the issue yet.... if i had to guess... it's because PQR can spam so much.... maybe try RAISING the latency to make it cast fewer times per second

maybe Xelper can fix this?

I changed the -1 on the cooldowns and curse of elements/baneofdoom to 87, went into a heroic and fought a boss and it still didn't use it's cooldowns. So I donno whats up.

An Arcane Mage profile working? The files downloaded from the first page in the class section doesn't work (pqr doesn't recognize them) help! ç_ç

[Xelper]

No, I can't fix Blizzard's problems. PQR does nothing special that is causing this problem. If the ability check rate is an issue then a rotation can change the value of PQR_UpdateInterval1 (value 0.05 = 50ms)

i set the ability check to 750 now but the problem iss again maybe set to 1000? but i think this iss a dps lost?

if unitlevel("target") == unitlevel("player") + 3 or unitlevel("target") == -1 is a good check for bosses.

I honestly can't wait for your automated pet code, I want to leech it for my hunter profile

Decided to make this with my hunter. It is mainly for cat as it's the only pet I have right now Just read over it and let me know what you think about it. Just add it to the top somewhere.

Sadly, they don't have a IsSpellKnown() for Pet spells or I would be able to make it Universal for all beasts

EDIT* You might have to comment some of the code out. For example, the prowl code as I didnt get a check coded in. I'll have to do that. Anyways, make sure for your pet spell slots, the 1st one is Claw or the pets attack spell, 2nd is Dash, 3rd is Prowl if pet has it (if not, remove it from the Pet Spell Bar), and the 4th one is the pets Roar of Courage (again, if pet doesn't have it, remove it or change the code around to match the beasts type).

I'll get it more perfected as time comes along. It's only the way it is as it's the most Universal. If someone can tell me a way to make pet Names Universal, let me know and I'll ad some more functionality for all beast types and Buffs.

Blizzards API is choking on something for Moonkins, probably related to CastSpellByID.

Profile writers can try something like RunMacroText("/cast Spell") to avoid it.

Hey Xelper or bu_ba, you guys got any method to convert pet spells to a number so that I can have them call a table full of numbers so I dont have to make the table full of words (Sorry for the confusion) If you need to know why, just look up at my post above Xelper's lol

Need a way to convert GetPetActionInfo(index) to a number where Index is; index - Index of a pet action button (between 1 and NUM_PET_ACTION_SLOTS) (number) > http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetPetActionInfo

It's a good start, I would replace prowl with Rabid, I can't think of a single reason to use Prowl. Mostly I would be concerned about pet abilities that are no autocast very well. Generally pet AOE buffs like Furious Howl and Roar cast very well automatically. This is probably something that doesn't need to be automated.

Things that are not automated well for example.

Rabid - This is such a huge dps loss when this doesn't cast in melee range, or when you cast it manually and the pet is not in melee range.
Claw/Bite/ etc.. - I've been pondering delaying the use of this ability to maximise wild hunt and sick'em procs. No idea how to do it, but it should provide a pretty big dps boost.
Reapplying pet debuffs, - 4% physical and 8% spell damage.


Call of the Wild - but this works best being linked to the hunter's dps cooldown, so not something worth automating.

Yea, like I said above, some pets don't have some of the spells. Take a regular cat and a spirit beast cat. One has prowl, the other doesn't. Don't really want to put something in a profile that will not work with other Locales because I know we will get posts of why some code isn't working for someone with a Russian or French or whatever else client there is out there

EDIT* Ok, I didn't know pet spells could be used by CastSpellByID() as well. So give me a few hours (after this movie anyways) and I'll have some more updates come out for the hunter buffs I posted

[killswitch131]

Just wondering if there is a version of [Nova] holy no mouseover that works on the beta? havent seen anything, but with 674 pages, i coulda missed it lol. either way, just wanna say this program and all the diff profiles ive used have rocked, saved me many a headache

[Holobyte]

Hi,
I'm new to PQR but I'm an experienced WoW Player and I have some background on LUA (not on WoW API, tho) and I'm thinking on creating some profiles.

I could use some introduction on how things works inside PQR. For example, what use has the DATA file? I mean, what is it's primary function? To define variables and constants like spell ids, spec, etc? When does he gets executed? And how often?
A variable defined inside a hability can be seen on other habilities in the same rotation?

I'll also peek inside other profiles to learn, but any help is apreciated, thanks in advance!
