[PQR] Bossqwerty's MOP Mage Profiles

[NebeF2G]

Do the frost AoE and trash rotations work? Or is it all 3 that don't work? It's odd that fire works fine, I'll do my best to fix it tonight

Is anyone using the boss frost rotation without issue? Please post here and let me know if you are

Yes the others work fine only frost Boss i have an issue with. Remind what talents & Glyphs i need?

Scorch, living bomb, invocation and glyph of fire blast. Does it cast any spells before it freezes?

I'm working on an arcane profile and I can't seem to get it to track arcane charges, anyone know how to do this?

To track charges, use select(4,UnitDebuffID("Player",36032)) where it select's the 4th part of what UnitDebuffID() shits out. The 4th one is the count of a debuff/buff on the designated target/player and works with any buff/debuff that stacks.

i actually tried that already and all it returns is nil no matter what

That's weird. It was working on my end just now. Did you have it typed it right? Usually it's something like

local stacks = select(4,UnitDebuffID("Player",36032))

if stacks > 4 or stacks == 6 then
//Do whatever
end

Yeah to the letter, even used "stacks." I'll mess with it some more when I'm home i suppose. Thanks

Ok, I figured out what it was, do:

if stacks and stacks > 4 then 

If you don't do the first stacks, it produces errors until you actually cast Arcane Blast for the first time to get the stacks on the target and will also report error's when the stacks are cleared. Forgot all about doing it that way.

Yeah I got it working now, thanks guys

I have no idea why the boss rotation on the frost profile is causing lockups for some people, the only difference with that rotation is the addition of casting alter time, mirror image, and icy veins. I'm at a loss.

Could those of you having issues remove one of those abilities at a time from the boss rotation list and see which causes it to stop locking up?

[Waffle]

Hey Boss, regarding you asking if anyone else has the locking up issue, all profiles work fine for me on the US client in English. No lockups on any of them during four hours of raiding and more time in heroic dungeons.

Really great work!

I been playing around with this..

Do you think we could get a button to hit to trigger ice block just like evocate is now currently?

Maybe even a button for time warp also?

Just one quick thing I changed in the fire profile...

I moved pyroblast up....because in the fire rotation if your moving with scortch casting I would want to cast any free pyroblast procs before I scortched again.

Regarding the Fire Profile and the use of alter Time:

Alter time should have alot of priorities so we cant just make an ability that cast that if this happens. As people mentioned it must be take in the proccs etc etc.
But we all have diff trinkets and racials so Boss cant really code all that.

my list goes something like this.

Cast AT (AlterTime) if you have Pyroblast and heating up and and pot and trinkets have procced and Combustion is off cd and Bloodlust is activated.
That would be an awesome time to cast AT !!! Imagine that Combustion.

Cast AT if you have Bloodlust debuff(meaning you already just BL earlier) Combustion is of CD and (Pyroblast and heating up)

Hope you can understand what im trying to get at. AT is perfect to set up big Combustions due to you can get 4-5 big Pyroblast lining up using AT to get back to a Pyroblast procc and heating up procc. But then you cant wait for AT to run out you need to press it after you used up all the pyroblst proccs and heating up due to Ignite just reads 5-6 last cast into the damage.

My best suggestion for Alter TIme, and what I'm doing for my mage right now, is set it up as a push button. Like stated, it has a lot of different scenarios that make it awesome and better. This way, it's user controlled and not getting messed up by a possible fluke in the rotation that would fire it off at the wrong time.

Thanks guys, I've been trying to figure out what to do with alter time. I'm still not 100% sure but your feedback gives me a place to start.

Ok i did some testing on the dummy this is what happens:-

I cast a frostbolt to start it off, it then autos casts Frozenorb then locks up? i can hear the clicking in the background but nothing is happening.

Also if i start it off with a pet freeze, it then auto casts ice lance a couple of tines with the fingers of frost proc then frostorb then ice lance again when fingers of frost procs up then it just locks up.
