I seen what you wrote earlier? What was your issue? might help me to help others to know about it

i still don't know the issue, all i know that i still get freezes despite i disabled PQInterface.

it causes following error:

Normally that var should be populated while you are not in combat, if you start rotation while fighting actually this might cause errors and maybe there are errors outside of my actual understanding. I'll work a fix to address this right now. Thanks for reporting it.

Should be fixed as of 2.05 right now available. Again thanks for pointing this out! By the way guyz it's a very good thing to report to me with the lua error as even if you might don't uderstand what it says, I do and it's way easier to me to address fixes with the precious information

Went to test in instance and had the issue you described. Forever looping in laggyness till crash. 2.05 isnt fixed yet did some more adjustments testing it right now sorry for this!

v2.06
- Another try on fixing Sacred Shield issues.

v2,07
- Pretty much 2.02 with the version # changed, had to roll back, I had some codes out of control that was crashing client. Hard to know the cause, no logs, no errors, just WoW crash lol. 2.02 seemed fine so I revert back to it while I find what was the problem.

[Terades313]

I play with 2.04 and EVERYTHING works well ^^

On H Tortos using the kiting method, and when Shield procs or comes off cooldown, the game will lag terribly, and later on in the fight my computer absolutely gets owned, and lags terribly. WoW itself has gone "not responding" some times.. I've got a pretty nice machine (3770k @ 4.5ghz, gtx690, etc) so I almost never lag or anything like that. Anyway, I surmise that it's scanning through all the bats looking for something to interrupt, and the sheer number of them is locking it up. Thing is, I don't have any of the interrupting things on.

This is what my PQI looks like for this fight: (using the latest Test build).. So basically nothing is on.

(I know I have some checkboxes like the Active Healing box unchecked, it's a bad habit)

Otherwise, the profile works great!

What do you think?

Oh yeah, I can see the picture... Mouseovering all those bats really quickly might cause some retard lags. What version were you using? It's an important thing as there are many things in this subject I'm working on right now and I'm getting this fail too. Uberlag that lead to crash. used my old CML yesterday for raids and went perfect tought. I will work on it, I think you are right it have to do with my shield script. Looking for that many targets and querying their channelling/casting status is probly taking a crazy amount of ressources.

I hope you took the stable version after noticing this issue. By the way guys CodeMyTest is test version. Everyone can/should use it usually I try to release working stuff. Sometimes some situations are causing bad things. These times, we rely on the stable version wich is CodeMyLife that have been tested more and should be more stable. However atm stable version was laggy due to unitfacing checks so I'm doing a clean version of 2.0 and will retart testing from this point, where it was stable. I'm not sure but I think the mouseover priority was the issue there. Not that the principe is bat, it will need some tweaks and should work fine but for now I will not re-add it, maybe later.

[ozmodiar]

Oh, silly me. I knew I forgot something. I was using the latest Test build, whatever was current last night.

I ended up using one of Nudex's profiles, since our group was having AoE issues. He has a profile that never does any AoE damage whatsoever - it leaves a lot of dead time in the rotation but it worked fine..

Do you think you can add that as an option? Single Target/Single Target no AoE/AoE?

At any time, feel free to create yourself specific rotations to suit your needs. You can remove pretty much any abilities from the list without breaking it besides crusader/hammer/judgement and all the -- abilities that must always be selected.

I had this same problem last week on TortosHM10 and then again on Ji-KunHM10 using CMT, Since then I svn'd your entire repo to remove any discrepancies. I'll take SS's and let your know how it goes this week. I'm also trying to figure out how to dedicate a core to PQR as you suggested in a previous post, hopefully that will help.

My specs are i7Quadcore, 8GB RAM, Geforce GT 650M(its a laptop =/)

I did a lot of work this week-end to address this, did test multiple things but same result all the time, lag issues. Managed to get to something stable. Mostly Single target as it was before. I think I will try with only mouseover sometime soon, I think have full raid IDs was too much to compute. It's up as CodeMyTest version 2.08!

v2.08
- Removed table usage that seemed to take too much ressources.
- This version doesnt include any facing checks at all. No options for it either. Includes Sacred Shield mods to recast with APBoost.

Thanks guyz for reporting!

I didnt have any problems last night on HM Tortos - That was the fight that caused the client crashes last week for me (along with Ji-KunHM and Lei Shen Normal), Thanks, worked great!

Glad to hear that!I had a very hard time testing this out. Had to code, queue LFR tortos, lagout, recode, retest/lagout, until I finally decide to remove all other multi-target checks and then... well its still hard on these fights as theres lot of shit going from everywhere and the client lags even without rotations so...The rotation is still "heavy" but take way less resources that way.

I will remake in the future this multi-target feature. I do not give up. It's just that well RL is hitting hard these days and wanted to push out something stable before i have to stop coding for a couple days. While moving to my (oh damn so fabulous) new home..

Thanks pve for reporting back, thanks for beign kind even if sometimes I do BIG mistakes. It's really appreciated.

Hi all! Someone PM me today asking more or less what setup I am using with my paladin rotation to get as most optimal results as I can and altought not everyone would like same settings I think it is time to explain maybe a bit more how this rotation works and I tought you would be all interested to hear this so I will eplain it here.



- Raiding Events - Library of events to react on bossfights. Most of time you want this checked unless you encounter buggz during a raid boss fight.
- Feast Taker - As a lunatic raid leader, often I speak and while I'm speaking I miss feast. Got tired of it and coded it. I try to keep this working well, sometimes will take a feast and I didnt notice so I spend uselessly a charge but at least I'm always well fed. It also take Healthstones if you need and help if people are summoning around you. Will not move without click to move activated but if you stand close ti works too.
- Active Healing - If you never ever want to heal you can uncheck it. Otherwise I recommend letting this check and using /activehealing to toggle on/off during fight. With this unchecked or activehealing off, you will still use Lay on Hands to save people but all the other heals are off saving your holy power to rape your friends on damage meter and shield like crazy.
- Active Cooldowns - More oriented for Retribution and holds only DPS Cooldowns. Should let it checked and use /activecooldowns to toggle on/off during fight.
- Active Seals - Nothing special here. Seal for Protection is Insight. Retribution single Truth and AoE Righteousness. If you do not like it, turn it off and do it yourself.
- Righteous Fury - Might want to uncheck sometimes during a fight to avoid pulling adds to you. Other tanks hates pallies. Remember you can help them do not look like noobs by turning this off.
- Word Of Glory 1 - Check this to heal people when having 1 Holy Power and if they are below the threshold. Do not set value too high or you will end overhealing.
- Word Of Glory 2 - Check this to heal people when having 2 Holy Power and if they are below the threshold. Do not set value too high or you will end overhealing.
- Word Of Glory 3 - Check this to heal people when having 3 Holy Power and if they are below the threshold. Do not set value too high or you will end overhealing.
- Lay on Hands - Save people using Lay on Hands. I like to keep it very very low so it is not thrown during high damage raid mechanics unless someone really needs it.
- Holy Prism - I like to have it somewhere low but not too much. The Holy prism is naturally used to DPS. It's somewhere relatively high in the rotation so rare are cases when it fires to heal people. However when it happens on someone that accidentally aggroed something the effect is crazy. Heal the person and attack 5 mobs around him, taunting them to you somehow.
- Healthstone - Uncheck to use manually or set value to desired HP treshold.
- Cleanse - On horridon I use it, other than that it is pretty much useless. It does take mana but with insigh on, it's not a problem.
- Hand of Sacrifice - This hand is oriented toward the other tanks. It should never be fired on other roles players. Instead Salvation would fire. Set health treshold you want it to fire.
- Hand of Salvation - This hand is for Healers and DPS. This should never fire on other tanks or yourself(if you are retribution, it will work on you). Set health treshold you want it to fire.
- Hand of Protection - This hand is for Healers and DPS. This should never fire on other tanks or yourself(if you are retribution, it will work on you). Set health treshold you want it to fire.
- Hand of Freedom - Usefull mainly for PvP, will find other classes snares and roots and cleanse you and others with freedom.
- Ardent Defender - This is the best OH-SHIT CD you have for you. Set it very low to use it as Life Saver or a bit higher to use it as a shielding effect. I like it very low.
- Divine Protection - I like to let it unchecked and use it myself. I wait until I get interesting vengeance level to use it and try to pair it with some great damage income to make the most out of 4p tier15 bonus. If you let this checked, it will fire at your desired HP treshold.
- Guardian of Ancient Kings - Protection version. Should use it yourself, it is so priceless. If you let this checked, it will fire at your desired HP treshold.
- Shield of Glory - This Utility is gonna throw a 3hp WoG on the lowest target if there are under the HP treshold. I like to keep it high so it's used often. It still should never buff if it is not needed and will only heal to buff yourself. It is not on the /activehealing macro. If you keep it at 100%HP, you woud lose some value. This is meant to be used with the 2p tier15 bonus.
- Sacred Shield - Removed in 5.4 but for now it is ****ING OVERPOWER. Let this check and at 100 Always or... You lose!
- Shield of the Righteous - The checkbox is not going to turn the ability off. Check the box if you want the Chat overlay Message when you shield. Value set is very important here.
- 0 - Never Shield at all. Rotation will flow to max the Holy power regen, you have to shield by hand.
- 1-2-3 - Shielding will occur at 3 Holy Power. Under lvl 85 you have no other choices as you only get 3 HP.
- 4 - Shielding will occur at 4 Holy Power.
- 5 - Shielding will occur at 5 Holy Power.
- 6 - Wise Mode - This is the best setup. At this treshold the rotation will shield at 5 Holy power if you have another Holy Power that will be generated within the next 1.5s. According to the fat that the Shield is a left hand ability and therefore off of GCD you can use it at any time, late is best as it leave the player an opening for timing is shielding. To be honest, I do not rely on my profile to shield me, I like shielding myself and it is the way I do because as long as I will not be able to program every encounter specifically or who knows maybe read DBM timers or something, I feel it's too risky to ask for luck. I prefer to keep an eye on boss and learn his moves. When the boss is gonna do an ability he tells it. It's like Mike Tyson Punch Out, he was like he really had to pee before throwing his big hit, you wanted to dodge it, you had to learn to read his moves. WoW bosses do that and shielding Dynamically is fun. Wise Shielding is not wise to know when to shield. It is wise to shield at the last second so the user can use Holy Power himself if he want. I really really like this feature.
- Rebuke - Check to enable and then choose at what % you want to interrupt casts.

The others are easy to understand.

As Talents and Glyphes Usually my setup looks like this http://www.wowhead.com/talent#lxdM|LycMck . These are up to you bud I definetly recommand using Sacred Shield as now it is just too good to be true. It will be nerfed soon tought. 5.4 will hit us hard.

Well I showed you my usual spec and setup but let's say PQI is here not only for you, I use it too and I tweak many things differently depending of fights. Sometimes I do not use Shield of Glory, Some fights it helps a lot so I do. Tortos single tank, I set the healing very high and activate the WoG1. When bats comes out I just turn healing on and they all run to me. Simple like that. When they come to me I turn it off, pop divine protection and /aoe the hell out of them. Horrison, almost the same with adds, my healing is just too much even just Sacred Shield will pull them to me. Ji-kun Quills I Activate heals too especially If I'm not tanking I will heal all the way. if tanking I will stop it couple second prior to the talon strike to stack Holy Power for my SotR. Ji-Kun heroic I often survive more than 4-5 Talon Strikes in a row. Shielding works with % so it's really strong.

Theres many more ways to setup this so it work. I explained here how I do as a reference for new users. This, even if I written this profile, is not the only and sole truth. I might be wrong on some stuff, all I know is this setup works great for me as a Raid Leader/Main tank in 10 man heroic raids. If you like some other stuff that works great feel free to suggest it!

Thanks for Reading and Happy tanking guyz!

Grats on the new home, I know how much work and time goes in to that. My biggest word of warning, "Don't put your wife in charge of ordering internet services." lol

quick question, I know you said earlier you set core affinity for PQR. You also mentioned you run Quad-core i7 i think? So when you set affinity, which cores did you choose, and did you choose 4 "cores" total (I think that would be the same as 1 total actual core)? Or did you choose just 1 "core" period (which I think would be a soft core and only 25% of an actual core). Please forgive my ignorance, but I have been trying to find the right way to do this for the last few days and I don't think I know enough to make a good judgement.

Thanks again!
