[PAID] [Mage] Portal - An Advanced Honorbuddy Mage Routine [PvE/PvP]

Think I've found out what's up with this. Will get a fix pushed later.

You using Windows 95?

It works fine on Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 (with the standard themes) - No plans to support any other themes/windows versions - sorry.

 

Hey Millz

The kill totems using ice lance is that a pvp only feature, Never see the bot doing it in pve/raids also will it kill banners ect aswell?

Bty the counter spell is still flaky as hell missing casts and casting when noting to int.
Hmm was wondering if you could set something up along the lines of having counter spell used on next spell on target after focus target has used his int ability would be very nice option for int chaining encounters.

dont have a log file for you atm had to do a fresh hb install this morning for you know the usual hb crap

 

Totems -> Yeah PvP only, but if you can give me details of the PvE totems then I can add it in (links to wowhead's NPC id's would be great ! )

Counterspell -> yeah still not totally happy with it. The logic is fine, but think there's invalid results being returned for cast times etc.

Counterspell chaining -> be a bit of a bitch to do to be honest, it's just as easy to do manually.

 

Arcane. If I cast rune of power manually, when the routine starts it casts a new one again despite I am in the original one. Second, against 3-4 opponents it does not cast Arcane barrage although that would hit all mobs.

 

I'm using Windows 7 with standard theme not Windows 95

 

Arcane. Alter time is not used correctly. It looks at Arcane power (correct), but before activating it you have to cap arcane charges and arcane missiles.

 

Heh, I saw some huge clipping tonight on Living Bomb dot's. I usually don't pay attention but tonight I saw it clipping at around 3 seconds.

 

Rune of Power - I'm aware of why it would do that, but I'll have to come up with a solution to it. Added to the to-do list.

Arcane Barrage - I'll take a look - also on the to-do list.

I've only tested it with the default windows 7 (i.e. aero enabled) theme, and windows 8. No easy way to re-draw the GUI based on active theme.

There's issues with alter time + arcane. I've got a fixed version but didn't have time to push it last night.

You don't loose any DPS by clipping it at <3s. It's a bigger DPS loss if you let it drop.

 

It's based on haste, it should be recasted after the second to last tick happens which is between 1.5-3.0 seconds.

 

Indeed, but let's say the DoT has 3001ms remaining on it, and we begin to cast a frostbolt.. it wouldn't refresh LB until <1... 1.5s anyway. Need to account for other spells being cast in the mean time. Sometimes it'll hit at 3s, other times less than 1s.

 

It isn't optimal to do it that way.

 

Why

 

Seeing as how my brother is one of the best Mage players in the world I'm pretty sure he knows what he is talking about, I'm not too worried since he'll soon be working with me to learn the rotation properly.

 

I can implement my DoTManager system from Demonic and Insanity to allow calculating ticks remaining on the DoT (you need to be able to retrieve the stats that the DoT was applied at to calculate haste vs speed of ticks etc) - but it's not a quick job to do.

Again though, you do need to remember that the routine will cast other spells until the condition is hit, and there's a higher chance that the DoT will drop.

Simcraft - Frost
- based on ticks : 191040 dps
- based on < 3s : 189845 dps

The difference is next to nothing.

*Edit* That's with BiS T16H gear vs a target dummy.

 

Haven't had time to test these changes, so shout if they don't work.

[29/11/2013]
- [Arcane] Fixed casting during Alter Time.
- [Arcane] Arcane Power + Alter Time will now wait for at 4 arcane charges instead of 2 before casting.
- [Arcane] Changed conditions on Arcane Barrage to cast earlier when there's extra units in range to hit (now follows Icy Veins guide).
- Added Ring of Frost Self + Mouseover hotkeys.
- Changed Ring of Frost on Sheeped unit to use strings when searching for a unit (as ID's seem to not be working correctly).
- [Frost] FoF & BF charges should be used during Alter Time again.
- Reduced the radius for counting units when switching into AoE mode.

 

Was wondering if anybody had some good arena settings for 2's and 3's they could lend me

 

We both are talking about PvE Arcane right? And that frost sim DPS is horridly off, it should be around 400k dps with current tier gear.

 

So out of the box the paid version works well, I don't need to know how to play a mage or tweak anything, it just works ?

Check out my post in pg 88

 

I had it setup for on target dummies, no buffs, no debuffs etc.

Fresh simcraft download.. arcane...

< tick_remains = 420.7k
< 3 seconds = 417.5k
< 2.5 seconds = 418.6k
< 2 seconds = 420.1k
< 1.8 seconds = 417.7k
< 1.5 seconds = 419k

I'll drop the timings from <3s to < 2 and see how it goes. May start to notice the up time on living bomb not being good enough though.

*Edit* It was at <= 2.8s, i'll drop it to <= 2.3s and do it gradually.

Pretty much.
