Fpsware Druid (version 4) - what do you want?

SVN updated - once more before going to bed.

Feral Pull. Automatic option should now choose the most appropriate opening, either Prowling or Faerie Fire (Feral).

NB: This is currently for NPCs only. I'll add player automatic pulling in a couple days.

 

Use of profession/racial skills (will of the forsaken, herbalism skill), and the use of pvp trinket medallion, when feared, stunned, etc use the medallion to become unfeared.

 

Has anyone used this in Cat form yet? How well is it working for you, how does it compare to my other Druid CC?

 

fps ihave a druid level 80, ready to go to cata, if you need a tester, tell me. im questing in cat atm.

 

I tried it for about 10 minutes with the default settings. Used on lvl 81 kitty in Uldum. I saw very little dps in the log, spent more time healing than anything...maybe because of the toons level. I went back to the your default version, but didn't play with the settings much. Will try it again when I get up in a few hours. Atm my mind is toast....23 hrs with no sleep.

I would not recommend using it in an instance as cat form. It will need a bit of work before I'd consider that. But for questing/grinding it should be very efficent.

You said it spent more time healing, you mean it was healing YOU or party members?

 

Will start testing the kitty part out today. If you could add crowd control logic for the predator's swiftness buff that would be amazing. I have yet to see a CC handle it. I know this would be more beneficial in pvp, but I can see it having pve value as well.

Maybe if health is above 60% cast Cyclone on a add, if not cast regrowth.

 

First off my apologies for getting back so late. I fooled around with the balance spec and my first impressions are very good. Its definatley the best balance CC around. I was doing roughly 10kdps on a raid target dummy. Which isnt bad. A couple of things if I may. Can you make an option to use a volcanic potion on CD? Before you actually throw your first DoT would be ideal in order to double pot. So your first potion should actually go off right as the tank is pulling. May be hard to double pot but you can definatly do one in beginning of the first dots. The other thing is to cue up the wrath or starfire casts. What I saw currently is that it waits to finish one then once its done tlit casts the next. Due to lag and letency there is quite a delay. If they are qued up its a quite noticible difference as I do 15-17k dps on target dummy with CC off and volcanic potion. Its an awsome CC so +rep so far. Keep up the good work

 

I just tried this as an 85 Feral. It didn't switch to cat form at all. I died 5 times trying it. I switched to cat form manually and it only meleed and swiped, no other attacks and no heals. Died 3 more times trying it that way. Your other CC is the one I normally use. When I tried to go into the config it popped an error every time.

EDIT: Sorry, when i SVN'd it, the folder was called fpswaredruid. I added the space between fpsware and druid and now it's working fine. My bad. Seems to be working fine. The new CC is averaging 3.7k DPS, your old one is averaging 3.5k, and Singular is doing 4.1k. This was averaged over 3 of the same mobs.

 

No log file. So I can't tell you what was wrong.

It was in a folder called Fpsware Druid?

 

Tested the CC a little. Support for interrupting spells would be nice, skull bash / maim neither are working at the moment.

Innervate doesn't work, hit 0% mana a couple of times just to test it.

Doesn't seem to cast faerie fire 100% of the time. Should be a filler when energy is low.

And not sure if it's intended but it casts swipe when there is only one target.

Would be nice if it cast MoTW only out of combat. Too mana intense to shift cast MoTW then re-shift during combat.

Doesn't seem to use rip.

Had the cast "regrowth only on adds option on" and it was still casting on single target pulls.

Dash / Stampede roar support when target is further than 5 yards away. This would be could for multi-add pulls where one is a caster.

Any plans on savage roar support? I know most people skip it these days but just wondering your thoughts on it.

Doesn't seem to use berserk.

Survival instincts support on adds.


I can attach a log if you wish, level 85 druid doing the tol barad dailies as a test. Also thanks for your support, amazing job and dedication on all your CC's.

 

I MAY add support for Volcanic potion, but if I do it will be a while away.

You say there is a lag between casting spells. I've not seen this behaviour, for me it instantly casts spells when available.

What do you mean "queue up spells". Spells (most but not all) are only evaluated to be cast if you are not casting or on GCD.

 

Skull Bash is supported, but does not appear to be casting. I'll fix that.

Innervate is missing the logic, I do need to fix that too.

If you don't see the spell in the UI I have not YET added it. There is not a complete feral combat rotation, the only spells being used are what you see in the UI.

FF is casting properly. I need your log to see why its not doing it for you.

Its impossible for it to use Swipe when you don't have adds. Its hard code to bail out if !Utils.Add.Basically, if you don't have adds then don't go any further.

MoTW will be reprioritised and cast out of combat.

Correct, Rip is not being used yet.

Regrowth and Rejuvenation are evaluated as a single spell cast if you are feral spec. When you pop out to cast Rejuvenation it will check if your health percent is "close" to the Regrowth level and if so it will cast it. This saves on the silly pop out to cast Rejuventation, shift to cat, wait 2 seconds, pop out to cast Regrowth and shift back to cat. I will probably add an option to in the UI to allow the end user to customise the "double helaing" ability.

 

Worked very well for my cat (lvl 85) while grinding. Seems to run smoother then your last cc.
But in instances / raids you wont get on top of the damage meter, but i think you know that Some very important spells are still missing

 

This CC should run a lot smoother, it is using different routines and "smoother" logic.

Instance/raid DPS will increase once I've added all the other spells. But for now my main priority is to get the basics right before getting carried away with too many spells.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

For those who play Cat DPS. Does this look like the correct prioritisation in a RAID DPS situation?




EDIT: This character was not glyphed for cat DPS, but instead Bear Tanking. Also, some talent points may not be optimal for cat DPS.

 

can I test the healing side of the CC? or is it only boomkin/cat for now

 

Boomkin and Cat only atm.

 

k cool will keep checking this thread for the heals version ill test on alt runs how it does in raids

 

SVN Updated.

fpswaredruid - Revision 14: /trunk


Feral Cat fully supported - but its a good idea to test it and get back to me.
Lots of 'smarts' added.
Pulling select targets will force you into Prowl (if Feral Pull is set to Automatic). I'm compiling a list of mobs best to pull with Prowl, let me know if you have any that should be on the list.
Lots more stuff that I can't remember but should have noted.
... other stuff too.

 

You are missing "Shred", or am i blind?
