Please test BM hunter rotation Weak Aura

Classes Hunter
1

I made a Beast Mastery rotation helper Weak Aura. I find it pretty useful. It’s probably boosted my DPS by 15% - 20%.

Will you lovely hunters here please give it a test and offer suggestions? I’m especially interested if it is suggesting you push a button when your expertise tells you not to, or vice-versa.

It currently works with Chimaera Shot and A Murder of Crows.

It’s on wago (dot) io (slash) B1Hm1ZLR7

It’s getting pretty good, but I’m looking for improvements. I already have a couple ready for the next version. Please look at the lists below. Let me know what you’d like to see most, or if there’s something else that would be good.

Need advice on:

  • Adjusting delay of Aspect of the Wild (waiting for Bestial Wrath).
  • Adjusting delay of A Murder of Crows (waiting for Bestial Wrath).
  • Adjusting timing and focus limits on “Pool”, “Capped”, and “Starved” warnings.
  • Other suggestions I haven’t thought of yet but you have.

Thinking about:

  • Add display for Dire Beast
  • Add display for Stampede
  • Add display for Spitting Cobra
  • Add display for Barrage
  • Add out-of-range warning light to ranged abilities
  • Add out-of-focus warning light to focus-using abilities
  • Refining failure flash to display “Focus”, “Facing”, and “Range”.
  • Adding pet health somewhere.
  • Add video to wago (dot) io (How do I get a cropped stream, anyway?).
  • Add pre-cast glow of Barbed Shot is about to cool down and Frenzy is about to expire.

Update 25 Nov 2018

  • Fixed glitch preventing global cooldown display for Aspect of the Wild.
  • Added glow for Chimaera Shot when focus is low.
  • Fixed duration bar for A Murder of Crows.
  • Added warnings for dead pet, pet playing dead, and missing pet.

Update 1 Dec 2018

  • Added global cooldown for some Chimaera Shot states.
  • Fixed glitches in blue (succeeded) and red (failed) flashes, especially Barbed Shot.
  • De-prioritized Barbed Shot when Bestial Wrath is cooled down or nearly cooled down and Frenzy is not expiring.

Update 2 Dec 2018

  • Added pixel glow to icons with active buffs or debuffs.
  • De-prioritized Aspect of the Wild when player has the Primal Instincts azerite trait and two charges of Barbed Shot.
  • Made faded icons a bit more visible.
  • Assorted behind-the-scenes cleanup.
  • Adjusted assorted delay timers.

Update 21 Dec 2018:

  • Made Barbed Shot refresh warning less urgent at first, but more urgent as Frenzy is about to expire.
  • Fixed global cooldown for Barbed Shot (harder than it sounds) and adjusted it for all other abilities.
  • Added “Capped” encouragement to A Murder of Crows.

Update 28 Dec 2018:

  • Added out-of-range indicator for ranged abilities.

Thanks for checking it out, Rugged.

I updated the original post with some ideas. Any thoughts on any of those? Any other ideas?

People actually need add-ons to tell them what to press next in this dumbed-down modern version of WoW? I guess it could be helpful for someone who boosts a toon.

Updated with pet warnings, Chimaera Shot glow, Murder of Crows duration fix, and Aspect of the Wild global cooldown fix.

I am one who uses addons for rotation it is helpful to know when a ability is it about to come off cool down. Then there are also many times when I am trying to just avoid something, so I am not think about what I should use next and having a little reminder is nice too. However, the main point is Kathuka, on their own time, made a addon to help out Hunters who may be looking for such help and should be thanked not questioned for helping.

Uh or maybe they don’t want to reconfigure their UI and want to show cooldowns in an organized way without having to look all the way down at their bars at the bottom of the screen? Or maybe they don’t have the muscle memory down for their spec and are trying to learn a difficult mythic fight so having something like that is beneficial? Jesus…

there is always some d!ck to post something like that when other people are going their way to help the community.

Thanks for the effort @Kathucka

  • Don’t use the “Wrath Up” display for Barbed Shot if Bestial Wrath will expire in less than five seconds.

Please let me know if you’re using this thing, and how well it seems to work. I’m particularly concerned with the timing of everything, but even letting me know that it’s fine is good.

Also, if you reply to this, I can bump the post when I add an update. I can’t post two comments in a row.
