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

Anybody with updated pvp guide to Portal since the massive updates?

 

You're better off holding down the key for a bit longer rather than mashing the button. It'll not detect the key press until the next loop through the code - it only takes 20-50ms to get to the next loop, but if you mash the button very quick then the code may not have time to detect the keypress.

Okay thanks. At least I know what I need to be looking at now.

It started because I implemented spell queueing - i.e. - casting the next spell before the current one finishes casting, so that the game client queues a spell up. Gives higher DPS when it works right. I'll take a look at this today though.

Hey - It's used any time cool downs are enabled. You can turn cooldowns off using the hotkey when on trash, and re-enable again on the boss if you don't want it to be used on trash mobs.

- [Arcane] Changes to Arcane Blast with the T16 2PC bonus.

Unable to test as I've not got the gear, but hopefully it'll resolve the issue.

 

Heya Millz

Tried that today does not work esp if you are running away from your target because it is trying to cast like crazy. the pause needs to work.

Thz

 

Just had a quick play with it on target dummies. Seems it fails when mouse keys are pressed at the same time. If you don't press any mouse buttons while manually casting it works fine. Bit odd. I'll add it to the to-do list.

 

Nice one.

Thx

 

this new release does resolve the issue with accidental and or cancelling the 5th ABlast. the only other thing that would be nice if you could work out a little bit of tweaking would be to work out the ABlast and AMissiles rotation a bit further. it should be something like ABlast-->ABlast-->ABlast-->ABlast-->AMissiles(gives buff from 2pc)-->ABlast-->Amissiles-->ABlast-->... repeat til all missiles procs are used one at a time with a blast between each then ABarrage at the end. it was working like this before the spell que issue popped up.

if you are willing and able to work this out that would be great. let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Hey Millz,

Were you able to figure out the ROF + Sheep thing?

 

what kinda ratings have people been getting with this in rbgs/arenas? paid and free

 

Pushed a change for this, let me know if it's working.

[28/Dec/2013]
- [Arcane] Changes to use Arcane Blast in between Arcane Missile casts when T16 2PC bonus active.

I got it detecting sheeped units correctly, but was struggling to test in the amount of time I had to ensure it was working correctly - haven't gone back to it. Should be working.. I hope.. Give it a try.

 

hey milz,
can this routine not dot mc'ed player on garrosh fight like living bomb / nether tempest?
ppls were dead coz of it
just single target and interupt that shit

 

Hello Millz,

I have a feature request for Portal and Demonic.
The CR is really great in using abilities to CC healers. But if we fight against double DPS, the routines are not always using sheep, fear and the other abilities properly to peel the focus target DD.

Maybe I don't know the optimal settings. But at the moment it looks like I can only choose "CC healer" in a lot of the options.

Would be great if there would be options for all CC abilities to "CC all heals of focus target and sheep / fear on cooldown for full duration". AND "Slow and CC focus target and sheep / fear on CD for fullduration. If DD is using DMG cooldown, prioritize CC"


Haggy

 

Will add to the to-do list.

Hey - When you've got the settings set to 'any' then it'll fear anything it can (demonic), and polymorph anything which isn't your target (portal).

Crowd control in competitive situations (RBGs, arenas etc) is better handled through the hotkeys and manually controlled though, and coordinated with team members.

 

im getting great damage and love this but how do i disable blink im using an arcane mage and for some reason my mage blinks like crazy causing big loss to my dps and even killing/wiping my attempts in fights

 

Under the "Class Abilities" tab, un-check both boxes in the "Blink" table. Unless you pvp, you really should have had this disabled from the start.

*Edit* As he stated before, many many times, you should always disable as much of the abilities as you can. The more stuff you have active, the harder the routine has to work and slows down your dps. Un-check any and all talent abilities that you are not specced for as well.

 

Hello

Your routine is it good in PvP? Do you have a screen of what he is capable of doing? (Score BG, Arena?)

Thanks

 

Hey - No screenshots to hand, but yeah, it works good in PvP. Hopefully someone else can come along at this point and post some screenshots

 

hey millz it dosent seem to want to mount with gatherbuddy im pritty sure its the routine because it mounts with singular please fix thanks and i hope to test this in arenas soon

 

just got around to testing the new changes. it is working perfectly. i honestly can not see a single issue with the rotation. you are wonderful Millz. thank you so much for working those issues out for us

 

Hey - You got a log file? Mounting up isn't handled by the combat routine (it does intervene and help dismounting though).

Woot, great news, thanks for posting back \o/
