Oak Interrupts Broker
Oak Interrupts Broker tracks the usage of interrupts by raid members and provides this information as an LDB datafeed. Note that Oak Interrupts Broker does not display information to the user without an appropriate LDB display, so you will need the companion addon Oak Interrupts Display or some other compatible LDB display.
Developers
I've not yet written up a description of the specification for the LDB dataobject Oak Interrupts Broker provides, if you are interested in developing a display and have questions PM me. If you want to do something that would be restricted by the license, PM me as well - I just haven't had enough time (read: don't know enough) about licensing to have thought through the implications of something more open.
Hi there - the addon sounds fantastic but does it require every person to have it installed or can just the group leader have it and the Interrupts Display? It's just such a hassle to get everyone to install an add-on (Ex. Ora3) but I sincerely hope it doesn't! Thanks in advance.
You can make it work with just one raid/party (doesn't have to be raid leader) having it. The person with the addon can then set up a rotation (or just use it to monitor people's interrupt cooldowns). If desired, the addon will announce interrupt rotations to raid/raidwarning/party chat depending on situation).
The add-on is fully functional for any individual (you do need both). The only benefit from being raid leader/assistant is for the rotation announce function to use the raid warning chat channel (otherwise it only uses raid/party chat).
If multiple people want to see the display then they all need to have both add-ons.
Thinks there is not enough interrupt skills recorded. I would make a list for you if you can update it. Also, I took a look at the lua file. It's not recommended that only melees interrupts could be tracked.
Like:
Solar Beam of Balance Druid,
Counterspell of Mage,
Counter Shot of Hunter,
Avenger's Shield of Protection Paladin
Spear Hand Strike of 3 specs Monk, not only windwalker but also MW and BM.
These are what I found from your lua file. Hopes you can make it perfect.
Thanks
I can definitely put in interrupts for other specs as well. My initial idea was to only include melee dps/tank interrupts as from my experience they are the only ones that get used as it doesn't really affect their rotations. Including caster interrupts might require some change to the data structure to help differentiate whether an interrupt is from a ranged or melee.
Hi Oak,
Just want to say I love the addon but I agree with the above comment. In a 5 man dungeon like Karazhan, it's important to see who can interrupt and often you have 1 or 2 ranged DPS which can interrupt but don't show up on the addon. Is it going to ever be possible to include Ranged DPS interrupts to the Broker?
Sorry for the late reply. By default ranged interrupts should be included since version 1.2. You can remove them with
if desired.
