CLU (Codified Likeness Utility) - (Pt. 2)

Condemned, thanks for reporting in..Update from SVN (All Mage Specs now have Rune of Power)

 

for raid better rune of power or invocattion?? i think invocattion but what you say?

 

Going to depend a lot on the fight and your play style. I personally thing rune of power is more flexible as you can lay down 2 at a time and move in between them - not to mention rune provides 100% mana regen. Invocation will require you to take the time to evocate and monitor your spell dmg buff and rinse and repeat. It all comes down to your play style and what youre comfortable with - test them both and see what you like best.

 

!!! Currently there is an issue with the lates Honorbuddy that causes long pauses between casting. To get around this you can use Honorbuddy version .465 if you have it. !!!!

this is a big trouble atm. can someone fix this?
in dungeon or raid the bot is not to use with this error

 

Latest revision of this CC, ret paladins are 100% broken. Won't even engage mobs anymore. Just sits there and gets attacked until dead.

 

Any news on the Hunter Focus Fire with only 1 stack of frenzy?

tyvm

 

Cbf sifting through all these pages, has anyone used the affilock part of the CC, if so did it yield great results? From reading, I gathered locks are the hardest to write a good routine for because of how much goes into proper dps with them...but if anyone can do it, it's wulf...amirite? =P Look forward to hearing, "Lock routine is god tier" =P

 

Stormchasing has put together some good lock routines within CLU and as far as I know they are working well..

 

Is it possible to make it use recuperate? (for rogues) i cant find the option anywhere

 

Whit the last changes in magues i lost about 10k dps in raid

 

You rock

 

With the new version, my toon release the corpse at the spirit healer :/

 

Thank You Again but:

Fire Mage
Item.UseBagItem("Volcanic Potion", ret => Buff.UnitHasHasteBuff(Me), "Volcanic Potion Heroism/Bloodlust"), // Volcanic Potion is old Pot, New Pot: Potion of the Jade Serpent

Buff.CastBuff("Alter Time", ret => Unit.UseCooldowns() && Me.HasMyAura("Pyroblast!"), "Alter Time"), // it is bad. Alter Time Must use : Time Warp,Heroism + Potion + Pyroblast!
so Time Warp = Potion, only add Time Warp pls.

 

I have used clu on instances with my ele shaman and got the following feedback:

-does not detect aoe packs unless really close to them(and not even then sometimes) and continues to use single-target rotation
-does not use cooldowns on instance bosses, but does use them on other stuff(like combat dummy) and on odd places ( used fire elemental on some random single enemy in an instance )

Both of these issues appeared with shamwow and clu, maybe its a problem in honorbuddy or lazyraider?, please let me know if you dont have these issues on some other botbase.

Otherwise the ele shaman rotation is really good and fast, thanks a ton to the devs!

 

Thanks for the fast reply, i will run a few instances and take logs, i made a reinstall of hb now and running with raidbot, my bigger issues is right now that it doesnt use aoe on packs 3-5 at all, as if it doesnt detect that there are more monsters than just one or something.

I will post back soon with a log.

Edit: on my latest instance it used cooldowns, and used stormlash on boss in heroism like it should so it works most of the time at least.

Biggest issue right now is the aoe on bosses and trash, very low dps when i usually use chain when there are 3 mobs for a high amount of dps even with the CL glyph

Also can you set it so that fire elemental is only used on bosses with other cooldowns to maximize dps?

 

Mage is broken (fire & frost specs)

If i play by hand i average around 70k dps single target in frost and 65k in fire, CLU mage is lucky to sustain 40k

Could someone please make these two mage specs work like this: (i can pay if need be), the guide's below are exactly as i play (they are what i learnt from) and they are pretty spot on, if this could be replicated with CLU it would be awesome.

Sorry if this is not ment to be posted here? but i thought CLU was original designed for end game.

Icy Veins rotation?

I'd like to add to the above post that BLIZZARD is also a viable AOE ability, especially at range. However, it is a channelled, RANGED spell. We would need to cast it on an enemy pack location rather than our own position. If we're in melee range (and why would a mage be there unless stacking mechanics are involved?), use Arcane Explosion. If not, use Blizzard.

 

Great work as always team, I'm back with the same old warrior problem, low low low FPS. Only happens on my warrior. gose from like 60 FPS to 4 and 5 when the CC starts. Hear is a new log GL and happy hunting.

Update on the eleshaman, i am doing 10man mogu vault now and its working really well on bosses, so mainly only issue i have is chain lightning not being used on trash and packs, anyone else have this issue?

Edit: here are 2 logs from mogu'shan first boss run, it doesnt use cooldowns on either when starting the boss(had to use them myself through a macro), it did use them earlier but stopped for some reason, i restarted hb but still had the same issue, it did use ascendance after it came off cd in mid-fight though.

 

The single target fire mage rotation is currently set to operate as follows:


1. Cast Alter Time if it is off cooldown and you have pyroblast proc.
2. Cast tier 5 talent
3. Cast pyroblast if you have pyroblast proc
4. Cast inferno blast if you have heating up proc
5. Cast fireball as a filler
6. Cast inferno blast or scorch if moving

The fire rotation will also appropriately buff your character and cast rune of power whenever the character does not have the buff and it is not on cooldown.

The single target frost works as follows:

1. Cast frozen orb
2. Cast tier 5 talent
3. Cast mirror image
4. Cast icy veins
5. Cast alter time if player has brain freeze and fingers of frost
6. Cast ice lance if player has fingers of frost
7. Cast frostfire bolt if player has brain freeze
8. Cast frost bolt as filler

*Water elemental freeze will need to be cast by the player via a stopcasting macro.

If you feel these rotations could be optimized feel free to copy and paste the above into a reply and mark it up as you see fit and we will do what we can to test those changes.
