[PQR] Alpha Moonkin

[joboy_67]

Since I have some free time right now here is what is needed for boomkin PVP in BGs from what I know (I don't play boomkin often, I'm usually feral so if I'm wrong somewhere someone can correct me please):

1. On mouseover, spread both Moonfire and Sunfire, Depending if you are in lunar or solar state, either moonfire or sunfire will have precedence over the other. Also possible to make a check for example if the target currently already has moonfire/sunfire applied and the DoT > 5 seconds don't cast. I'm not certain but if there is another boomy it could prove troublesome because if they have their dots applied yours would not get applied. I'm not sure if there is a way to get around this? Possibly adding a radio tick option so it can be turned off manually by the user.

2. On target cast Wrath/Starfire depending if you are in lunar or solar. Whenever starsurge procs, cast it asap on your current target.

3. A hotkey to cast both solarbeam and Ursols vortex on mouseover.

4. The usual 1 hotkey for setting up mushrooms, and when 3 mushrooms are up a fourth press of the same hotkey will detonate them.

5. Cyclone hotkey logic on focus, if natures swiftness is up, use it for an instant cyclone otherwise cast cyclone.

6. Root shifting just like the pve option.

7. Healing, when moving and hp bellow a certain threshold (this threshold should be in pqi) use rejuv, otherwise if standing still use either healing touch or whatever other heal is available to a boomkin (honestly I forget what healing spells each spec gets since MoP separated them into their respective specs.) When bellow a certain threshold use defensive cooldowns, barksin etc. If present, use Healthstone at a certain threshold for instant heals. Also if natures swiftness is up instant healing touch when bellow a threshold.

8. AOE Burst button/rotation cycle. Casts Incarnation, natures vigil, celestial allignment, pvp trinket etc offensive cooldowns, during this cycle when using mouseover only apply either moonfire or sunfire, because when you apply one in celestial allignment, it automatically applies both dots to the target. During this burst, you want to apply starfall three times in a row: HOW TO STARFALL 3 TIMES IN A ROW IN 5.0.4 | Boomkin Cooldown Usage | World of Warcraft PvP - YouTube Afterwards when the burst is done, the user can switch back to normal mode.

9. Possible support for different symbiosis abilities depending on the class you choose to do it with? Symbiosis Breakdown: What Abilities it Brings to Each Class - Wowhead News Only the defensive ones would really need logic, for example bellow a certain threshold cast antimagic shell. Can do some creative stuff here if you are up for it.

This is what I can currently think of, I'll edit this post if anything else comes to mind. Also others input would be welcome as i havnt done boomkin pvp in some time.

Paintpauller if you could throw together a mage profile like this I would absolutely love you forever! Until then +rep for this its awesome!

[Taran32]

Definitely hoping you can incorporate Jonni's suggestions into the next update. Looks awesome.

[Taran32]

Any ETA on the additions Jonni mentioned above? Been itching to try out the Boomy with those suggestions added to your profile.

[joboy_67]

He said around a week for a test profile, give him time. After thursday I shall be rid of this horrible week and I can debug if it does go up =P

I dont seem to get it to work! argh!!
I have the PQI addon, and I load your profile in PQR, but when ingame, my druid just stands there doing nothing.. please help me out!

[paintpauller]

if you are not getting a popup in the middle of your screen then you have PQI and the right version. have you tried to get in combat, i put in a stop so it wont ninja pull mobs and will only run if you are in combat. if you are still having problems let me know and i can help you through Skype.

hope this helps

Well my time has been freed, need any suggestions or tips for boomkin pvp other then the things i posted?

[alexlander]

Hello, it still doesnt work! =/ please help me out man!

[paintpauller]

Sorry for everyone looking for a version of PVP coming out this weekend, i have been swarmed with work and school. will be working on it during my free time this week and hopefully have something out for testing next weekend!

Hello, it still doesnt work! =/ please help me out man!

you are not getting the error so PQI is installed but seeing how the config window is not popping up it was not installed right, the 1st thing that comes to mind is that you did not place the PQI data file in the data folder. for installation instructions go here PQInterface - PQRotation Wiki and look at the bottom of the page. if you are still having trouble send me a mail and we can get it working over Skype!

Follow these steps to the T, and don't load up WoW and PQR till you do.

1. Download the latest PQInterface. Don't care if you got the latest, download it again.
2. Unpack the PQInterface addon folder to the designated spot in your WoW folder and over-write all.
3. Take the PQR_PQI.lua file and stick it in your DATA Folder.
4. Download the latest version of paintpauller's Boomkin profile and install all files to their designated spot. Make sure to over-write those files with the newly downloaded ones.
5. Load up WoW and login first. Make sure to check load Out-of-Date addon's if for some reason PQInterface has not been updated to the latest version.
6. Login to the designated Character (In this case, your druid).
7. Load up PQRotation.
8. Make sure you are starting the designated profile instead of some other one.
9. Profit cause I know this should work 100% unless something is wrong with Localization.

P.S. Paintpauller, your sig is to big. Might want to change the size of it before you get an infraction or a warning. The correct size of a sig picture is the size of KuRios' sig. Anything bigger than that is not allowed.

[paintpauller]

@firepong thanks for the heads up on the sig!

do you know of a way to check the version of the PQI data file? you have no idea how many people either dont download it or use the one on the nova svn (which is way outdated and will cause errors when used with the new addon).
the 1st lines are:

-- PQR_PQI.lua
-- V2.22

but i dont know how to or if you can check against commented out code.
