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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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.

Survival Hunter:

1. Kill Shot - available only when the target is less than 20%
2. Black Arrow
3. Explosive Shot
4. Serpent Sting
5. Aimed Shot
6. Steady Shot

When Lock and Load (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=56453) procs, Explosive Shot is used till it's on cooldown again.

And in case it matters, Explosive Shot and Arcane Shot share cooldowns so a Survival Hunter will never use Arcane Shot.

For a Marksman hunter, use Chimera/Aimed Shot/Arcane Shot while anyone of them is avaiable, if not, use Steady Shot, until the next Chimera/Aimed Shot/Arcane Shot is off cooldown, and first, start with a Serpent Sting

started testing out the elemental version.

after I Flame Shock, then Lava Burst, then after my first lightning bolt, i get the following error:

PriorityQueue\Shaman.lua
:145: attempt to index a global value 'self' (a nil value)

also, it doesnt take into account what is currently casting:

after I flame shock, and am casting Lava Burst, PQ still shows the Lava Burst icon until the cast finishes, then it switches to Lightning Bolt.

I've played some with the enhance shaman version, and like it so far. Can you tell me, when it comes up with SS, has it taken into account the WF cooldown, or is it just reflecting the CD on SS itself? I am currently using another mod to track WF CD, but it would be nice to streamline and get some clutter off my screen.

After further testing it does appear that it is not taking the windfury cooldown into consideration, as it suggested my next priority should be SS when the WF CD was still in place. Have also noticed it can get a little glitchy if you don't do what it's telling you. EG when maelstrom weapon is at 5, if you don't cast something that clears the counter then the priority box remains empty. Hmmm how to explain, if MW5 is up and I say earthshock to interrupt a caster instead of utilizing MW5 (which is going against the priorityqueue), then rather than flashing again to remind me that MW5 is there, it will stay blank until I use MW5, then it gives me the next priority suggestion.

Overall though am loving it, especially nice when switching spec's regularly to kick start the brain a little.

If you want the very very full featured Enhance Shaman version then please get my main addon ShockAndAwe http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/shockandawe.aspx which has all of those features and a whole lot more specifically for maxing Enh Shaman DPS. Priority Queue is a cut down version of ShockAndAwe and doesn't include WF cd's etc.

BTW if you are waiting for WF CD before using SS you are LOSING dps. This has been tested to death on EJ forums. In Burning Crusade it paid to wait in WotLK you lose a LOT of dps by waiting as you lose MW stacks which gives higher dps than the odd extra WF proc.

Hmmm yes I've seen that behaviour too not quite sure what the issue is. I need to include extra checks to update the icon I suspect, the balance to be struck is between how often to check vs time it takes to check. If check too often its doing a lot of unnecessary work if check not often enough the icon doesn't update when it should.

The balance is wrong at present, and it needs to update more often.

BTW as Enhance seriously use ShockAndAwe and not this addon its been in production use for 7-8 months and is far more polished than PQ is at present, plus it has lots of extra EnhShaman specific options, including stuff like weapon enchant warnings, Shield expiry warnings, ability to play sounds when MW available, tracker bars for various skills (inc WF cooldowns) etc.

I tried shockandawe and I didn't like it (sorry), I'll give it another go but it didn't bring anything that Smart Buff and ShieldsUp don't already provide... other than the WF CD timer, which you are saying is no longer necessary... which would mean shockandawe wouldn't bring anything that I don't get bundled in with other mods that I really like.

I am a returning player, having taken more than a year away from the game, and it could be that my mod preferences are as outdated as my playstyle though!

That's the prot warrior threat rotation.

Fury warriors are simple. The rotation is Bloodthirst, Whirlwind, Slam after Bloodthirst critical, and Heroic Strike at 50+ rage.

Arms warriors are simple, too. The rotation is Mortal Strike, Rend, Bladestorm, Overpower when dodged or Taste for Blood procs, and Execute when Sudden Death procs.

And, a question: Would it be possible to make the priority display a clickable/bindable button or does that violate to much of automized gameplay? :P (Personally i wouldn't think it was more than a a spammable macro improvement).

Completely and utterly impossible. There is no way you can bind a single key to a variable ability. That was totally removed from the game in patch 2.0.0. It is also not at all what this addon is about. Its about giving you information to maximise your timing, NOT about reducing the game to mindless single button clicking.

Ah, thought that be the case. Personally i wouldn't have used such a function anyways. Was just curious about it was doable since i code some myself but not within that range of issues atm.

Also, loved your ShockAndAwe addon, but havn't had the chance to test this update yet since i havn't tried playing marksman /survival spec with my hunter yet. (get blank frame etc and i suspect since that's due to BM spec?)

No more likely the version you used was set to default of none.

1 Kill Shot
2 Serpent Sting

Not entirely sure if you wish to include Beastial Wrath etc, but i gather it's almsot prio before arcane / steady shot's if so.
