[PQR Profile] CodeMyLife MoP Hunter BeastMaster/Survival Rotation.

[CodeMyLife]

CodeMyLife's Beastmaster - Survival Profile

This rotation is still a work in progress. It was at first a couple months ago a KMD Beastmaster Rotation that I mixed with a Nova Hunter rotation wich I finally attached a PQI to. Of course I added some magix to the abilities, this project is rolling since a very long time and most of the codes are totally rewritten but my ideas came from these other devs and thanks to them. Do not expect of this profile to beat everything yet but I'm more than sure it will be competitive sometime soon and the efficiency of this rotation to change modes and add /maccros are unlimited so I'm sure we will be able to turn it into some great profile. For this, I will need feedback. Thanks in advance everyone for your help in this matter. The power of any dev is the feedback his users gives!

Main options in this rotation:
- Beastmaster and Survival in the same rotation. Originally built for Beastmaster but offspec Survival should be working well and I will support it.
- PQI Rotation Configurator with lot's of options.
- AoE management is made via in-game macro that you can assign to any key.
- Safety Features : Healthstone, Exhilaration, Deterrence, Feign Death, Misdirection.
- Cooldowns management can be toggled via macro.
- Xrn5 Chat msg overlay for toggles and more.
- Automatic Aspect of Cheetah when running out of combat. Use Hawk as soon as engaged.
- Feast taker, Soulwell Clicker, Summoning Portal Clicker. If Click to move enabled your charater will move to those and take it.
- Can be updated via the PQR Rotation Editor instead of having to go on svn each time.

Supported Talents:
15 - Any that you like.
30 - Silencing Shot.
45 - Any that you like.

To the people that test, report, contribute to my knowlegde by giving ideas of what a player would do to exceed, all of you are making htis fun for me. Especially ozmodiar big thanks to you buddy you definetly helped me learn to play a BM hunter so that we all can now play better.
And to Many other dev's//testers that continuously are making effort to bring brilliant ideas to work with. Sharing will pay off more than selling, you guyz rocks!

Installation :
Donwload and Install PQInterface that can be found on the PQInterface Wiki Thanks to Diesal for this amazing addon.
Other than PQI all you will need is the Abilities.xml ,Rotation.xml that can be found in Profile folder and PQR_PQI.lua to work with the PQInterface addon. You can find these files on my SVN.

ChangeLog:

CodeMyTest Hunter v1.09
- Fixed trash events display issue.
- Fixed Misdirection, thanks to tigerwoods2012 for reporting the issue!
- Added Snake Trap between Fire and Ice Traps.

CodeMyTest Hunter v1.08
- Added /trash macro, some more tuning thanks to Ozmo again for your precious help!

CodeMyTest v1.07
- Changed Cooldowns logic drastically. Testing must follow it's process. Thanks to Ozmo for testing reports!

CodeMyTest v1.06
- Changed Focus fire to use after bestial wrath rather than before as suggested by Tamrael,
 thanks for this input.

CodeMyTest v1.05
- Added Active Camouflage macro, fun stuff is important too, use /camo to activate it.
- Added Delay to Focus and Rapidfire. If Bestial Wrath is close to be ready to stack those
(if both are ready, will keep only the second ready).
- Added Troll Berzerking. Not troll myself will need to know if it works. Whould not overlap other*
haste buffs.
- Totally rewritten the BM CDs into one big script to handle(I hope) all CDs so it is easier*
to make a global structure to call those.
- Found a way to prevent focus capping. We now scan while Channelling to see what is beign*
channeled and if it is Cobra shot and we have the focus level we blacklist Cobra Shot until focus
fall under desired treshold.
- Fixed issue with Serpent Sting often not beign applied.
- Kill Shot is now Priority #1.
- Beastmaster look really great for now.
- Removed Multi-Target usage for now to lighten computing and allow better rotation flow.
- Rewritten lot more that doesnt interest you much but will help tuning when needed.
- Did not test Surv much but should work. Beast is better atm.

CodeMyTest v1.04
- Added Multi-target stings macro. Use /sting to toggle on/off.
- Added some more abilities to mouse-over rotation.
- Lots of work on BM CDs. Rapid Fire will now be fired even if Bestial Wrath is up and vice-versa.

First PvE or PvP or both?

First PvE or PvP or both?

PvE but let's say it would be fun to cover both!

[Mavmins]

Nice one, if you need any help let me know. I was working on a BM one but I'll put it on ice for now

[Ninjaderp]

Thanks for sharing, will try get my gf to get out of her comfortzone (Soapbox BM/SVprofiles) to try yours out! ^^

[CodeMyLife]

If you want a real confort zone, try this. This rotation IS confortable. One rotation with keybinds. not 2 rotations, one with AoE toggle and more more stuff to come. She should not have issues finding a new confort zone

[Sklug]

Great effort on this one man +5rep from me

Ive also been using soapbox bm/sv profiles since I main Hunter and have been looking for a smooth alternative for awhile. Judging by your prot paly profile which I now swear by 100% I am so excited to see how this progresses! :P good luck and great work!

Alright, I've had the chance to use it for a bit and here are my thoughts.

I love the little delay between BW and KC - for those unaware, most times you use KC and BW at the exact same time (macro), KC benefits from the focus discount, but doesn't get the extra damage.
I like the mouseover prioritization that comes from the Paladin profile - great.

Everything that works, works great. I have some suggestions though.

What do you think about adding an option to keep Serpent Sting up on your focus target?
I've always believed that hitting Readiness during RF/BW was a dps loss since it's on the GCD, Something to consider.
Similarly, I've always tried to line up RF+BW (but no other haste effects), but the profile waits until BW is over - I'm not sure if that's optimal.

I use a modified KMD profile for my own use - I'm a troll with herbalism so I have 2 extra on-demand haste effects.. I have it set to autocast berserking/lifeblood when a trinket/scope procs and I have no other haste effects on. This might be too much hassle to account for every dps-increasing racial/profession skill and every trinket, but perhaps it will give you an idea.

The last input I have - I had this same problem with KMD's profile - during periods of high haste and high focus regen, it will cast cobra at 70+ or 80+ or even 100+ focus. It will focus cap me, even if it's only briefly. I know you have arcane in there to cast at 60+, but sometimes it just skips that and goes to Cobra.

I worked on it for a few hours (with some input from KMD) and the only thing I could ever do that would make it NOT cast Cobra above a certain focus is

if UnitPower("player") < 75 then 
return true end 

and specifying a SpellID of 56641.. which interestingly is Steady Shot. I tried every combination of greater than, less than, focus levels, SpellIDs, but this is the only combination that would work for me. And I have NEVER seen it cast Cobra over 75 focus..
I just picked 75 because I figured if I was at 74 and casted Cobra, I'd have 119 when it hit (if under RF/Fervor).

What do you think?

Hi man! I'm actually a noob huntard. please clarify this all for me. A friend once told me I should line my CDs because otherwise I would focus cap too quick if stacking them in BM.

About the sting, I can make serpent sting keep dots up on all raid target targets if it's optimal.

About CDsI can make RF be used with BW if it's more optimal.

I actually seen that double steady shot happen too and tought of another idea that might work even better... the same way my serpent sting wont recast im gonna make sur that close to my treshold of focus cap i will add the cobra shot focus to calculation before the spell is actually finished casting so that profile will blacklist cobra shot for 2 seconds and move on with rotation.

You solve however something to me, the steady shot ID might help me get that damn cobra shot to cast some other ways. I have it to work but not the way i actually want it

Thanks a lot for reporting Ozmo!

I'm haven't been able to get this to work. I am new to PQR so I probably didn't set something up right. "/pqi config show" doesn't work for me and in the rotation menu there is an exclamation mark in a triangle next to this profile. Anyone have an idea of what I did wrong?

[CodeMyLife]

You probly did not set PQI addon/lua I will put the whole package on my SVN, other than that on OP to the bottom there is a link to the Wiki where PQI is.

By the way the orange triangle is normal it's just an anouncement of how to use this specific rotation.

Edit: I have put the PQI addon on my SVN, not that it must be installed in your WoW/Interface/Addons/ folder. other than that all that is on my SVN should be enough to work properly as it is.

[lomotil]

Thanks for the help. Is there a way to download the whole package as one? I have only been able to download things one file at a time through the pqr rotation editor and it won't download some of the files on your svn because it only downloads certain file types.

[CodeMyLife]

Oh yeah there is, I'll give you the link to TortoiseSVN.

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html

this is download page, choose 32 or 64 bit. Install this it is a Shell extension. Once installed create a folder on your Desktop, name it "CodeMyLife SVN". Once the folder created, Right click it and you will notice a new option wich will be "SVN Checkout". Click this and add my SVN Repository link wich is http://codemylife.googlecode.com/svn/ . This will sync your folder with my online folder, simply! You can Right click an SVN folder at any time and update it straight by clicking folder. It will update all my rotations at once.
