PriorityQueue

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Priority Queue is a very simple idea. Based on your class you choose a list of abilities and place them in order (usually highest dps ability first). Priority Queue will then display the icon for that ability in a small frame when its available.

This way you can select a list of abilities to use and see the icon for the next skill in sequence. Where this works particularly well is for procs. eg: an Enhancement Shaman will have Lightning Bolt as top priority but only when he gets 5 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon buffs and thus its instant cast. Similarly a mage will want to use Pyroblast as top priority but only when he gets a hot streak.

Having had the ShockAndAwe addon available for over 6 months now I regularly get pleas from other classes/specs to do something similar for them. Priority Queue is that something.

Now of course as I don't have lvl 80s of all the different classes and specs I will rely on you the user community to provide the things that should be in the priority list for your class. I can code it and you can select it as a priority, in whatever order you like.

Initial Versions

In order to get the correct skills to work I need to do two things.

1) I need to know what skills your class/spec uses 1a) I need to know what conditions those abilities are used under - eg: only use when buff X on target or when Y procs - sometimes really simple - only use when available

2) I need to know what priority to use the skills in this is usually highest dps/threat first.

So when you install this early beta please be aware that your personal class/spec might not be enabled if this is the case please rather than moan, post the list of skills you use and I can add them to the list. You can then try to work out the priority order and let me know what works for you.

This project could be great for lots of classes but it needs input and support from the community for it to work.

With 3.1 likely to hit live within 2-3 weeks I'm really not keen to code up a priority that will be obsolete before people really start using it. Can you confirm what the 3.1 priority list would be please.

Priority list for destro (chaos Bolt)would be the same in 3.1. There are variations of the destro build that would be different; ones without chaos bolt. I do not feel very comfortable posting a priority list on those yet.

Affliction will also change a bit; mostly, whatever priority you've been given for that would be fine, except take Immolate and Siphon Life out of it.

As a DPS Warrior, I would also love this addon, especially Arms specced.

For Arms specced warriors, following skills should be included:
- Overpower
- Execute
- Mortal Strike
- Slam
- Heroic Strike
- Rend
- Bladestorm
Conditions, on which these are prioritized:
- Taste for Blood procs and their internal cooldown
- Sudden Death procs
- actual rage
- maybe remaining swing timer
- maybe wrecking crew uptime (for example you can't refresh rend when wrecking crew isn't up and the previous rend was done with it up)
- Mob Hp (can I use Execute without Sudden Death?)

For Fury speeced warriors, the prioritylist typically contains following skills:
- Whirlwind
- Bloodthirst
- Slam
- Heroic Strike
- Execute
Conditions:
- Rage
- Bloodsurge procs for instant Slams
- Mob Hp (Can I use Execute?)

Maybe this list is not complete, but I think, these are the most importants things.

I tried to make a priest mod but it didn't seem to work. I uploaded it under tickets on wowace. I also changed the base lua to remove the comment infront of priest.lua.

Basic shadow priest priority is
-keep shadow word: pain up (done for you with mind flay but if for some reason its not on the mob re-apply)
-Keep vampiric touch up (cast it 1.5 (or faster with haste) sec before it is about to expire )
-Mind Blast every time its up
-Keep Devouring Plauge up
-Mind flay

Added to main project - what didn't work btw? I'm guessing it could be that the default seems to reset to none?

Its one of the things I need to fix. Meantime use /pq config and select your preset.

I would love this mod for my protection pally. I already use Shockandawe on my Shaman and love it. Prot pallys have pretty much a set rotation for max threat. http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2847/paladintankcycleru1.png

It also isn't working for me, not sure if small typo in the last revision.

I've not done any pally version yet. The error you are getting is because I forgot to add a disable addon call if you load it on a class that's not currently supported.

Yes I've not written a Warlock mod yet, if someone can tell me what the conditionals for your abilities are and what the priority order is I can add them.

I put an affliction warlock as a ticket. Need to have more presets of course, for DP and fire builds... (could also make rotations for demon/destro builds, but their rotations are so extremely simple that an addon won't be needed.)
