Fpsware Death Knight (partial release)

Welcome to Fpsware Death Knight
Part of Multiplicity: Fpsware all-in-one Combat Routines

========= NOTE =========

This is not a full release CC. This CC has NOT undergone any beta testing.

This is only a partial release and does not support all spells or specializations. It only supports Blood.

This CC was developed many many weeks ago but never released as it was not finished. Since I have recently lost all of my farming / development accounts I was no longer able to finish the development to my usual standard (all 3 specs and all spells).

So instead of letting it sit and gather dust I have decided to release it as is in the hope you might get some use from it.

I will continue development on this CC once I have leveled my characters to a point where they are useful.


EDIT: This has now been tested up to level 90, performance is quite acceptable. It has been tested in instance / LFR and performed well.

=======================

Read this page thoroughly. Yes, its going to take few minutes but by doing so this will answer most of your questions and in turn prevent me from nerd raging at you for not following instructions.

As with all of my previous work the focus of this CC is on PVE leveling, grinding and gathering. While it will work in PVP and instances/raids it is not optimised for such environments. I will at some point add dedicated support for PVP and high DPS situations, please don't ask for a time frame, its on the to do list.

Want to see what I'm working on, what I have planned in general, here is the Trello link for Fpsware Death Knight
https://trello.com/board/fpsware-death-knight/50ce86b7ff8c3d21180061d4


What roles does this CC support?
* Blood DPS ONLY.


What is the CC responsible for?
The CC is only responsible for deciding and casting the appropriate spells during pull, combat, healing and rest. Anything outside of this is NOT handled by the CC it is handled by HB. Some examples are, but not limited to, navigation, choosing a pull target, flying, mounting.


Customization
If you've used any of my CCs in the past you will be familiar with my UI style. Almost every setting can be tweaked and/or disabled as you chose. Some settings, dependent on your chosen option will show a 'more' button to the right of the setting. Clicking this 'more' button will open a small pop up form with additional options relevant to the current setting.


Credit where its due
This CC uses a lot of the core functions (with permission) from Singular and PureRotation.


Reporting a fault
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS YOU MUST ATTACH THE RELEVANT LOG FILE! I don't read minds, nor can I magically fix problems from descriptions such as "it don't work".
Do not attach snippets of log files, these mean nothing to me, I require the full log file.
If you do not attach you log file I will ignore you, and at my discretion insult you for not following the most basic of instructions.
Be as descriptive as possible, the more information you can provide about a problem the better I can address it.


Installation
IMPORTANT - If you have previously installed my Hunter or Monk CCs simply update from the SVN to the latest build
There is no ZIP file to download. There is only a SVN link. If you don't know how to download from an SVN here is a guide http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/guides/40864-videoguide-how-developer-svn-jvidia.html
Inside your HB\Routines folder, create a new folder called "Fpsware Multiplicity", download the contents of the SVN into the newly created folder.

If you have done this properly this is what it will look like.

SVN Link is: https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/multiplicity/
The SVN will always contain the most up to date version. I will no longer be maintaining a ZIP file, as the SVN is updated on a daily basis.

Thanks for this! Do you think you can specialize this for raids? I really need a good Blood raid routine.

 

Eventually it will be yes.

 

You're churning them out, aren't you Fps? I'm waiting patiently for the release of your Rogue portion. All of your CRs are great at leveling and surviving practically everything. They just simply work. By the time I get around to my DK I'm sure this one will be fully tuned and ready to roll.

 

Levelling as we speak.

 

Love your products fpsware. Leveling my DK right now (at 87). Can't wait for the finished product!

 

I recently started playing Blood on the side, using a mix of Singluar/CLU right now and I will be very happy to see what you do with this project fpsware. All your work has been awesome for as long as I can remember

What is you end-game plan with this CC honestly? More towards the solo-content Blood orrr higher-end Blood tanking maybe?

 

thanks a lot. If it is 1/10 as good as your druid cc it will be awesome And blood is really all that we need, the best leveling spec atm

 

My goal is for heroics / end-game raid tanking.

 

What you see with the CC now is only a fraction of where it will end up. I have a lot of work to do to bring it up to my standard and as soon as I have characters high enough level to continue development I'll do so.

 

You have answered my prayers! I love your druid and lock ccs, and had been praying DK was next.

I hope unholy is next in line after blood is fine tuned.. So many frost ccs and hardly any GOOD unholy ones.

I'll try this out when i get home.

 

With the changes to Unholy in 5.2 you should definitely make this your priority after Blood for sure. Maybe have a poll on it? Weisch does a great PvE Frost and Dag is coding GS for PvP Frost before the end of the year. We gotta have an Unholy spec

 

Update on progress.

I was able to test this CC in a heroic (tanking) today and it performed extremely well. There are a few tweaks I need to make and of cause I need to add support for taunting but over all it worked out extremely well.

 

Does it use Blood Boil/DnD procs? This is a big issue in Singular since it ignores the free BB/DnD procs.

 

Updated.

More love. Been doing some heroics and LFR today. Working beautifully. Tanking like a champ.

 

Consider that Blood Boil outdoes Heart Strike when there are 3+ mobs, but Heart Strike wins at 2. Also you should program it to function with Blood Tap, since that is the most useful for Blood since consistency is good for tanks.

 

I don't understand what you mean.

Its on the to do list.

 

Hey Fps, I noticed that there were some compiler errors after this update you posted. Or, at least, the one I SVN updated just now. I'll post a log. I was on my spriest so I know it won't work with that toon, lol, but I saw the compiler errors when I loaded up my HB, so I figured I'd mention them here while I was thinking about it.

 

You have a couple of plugins / bot basses not working too.

Not sure why that last build is faulting. But the same error message is appear with those that don't have .NET 4.5 installed.

Try a fresh install of HB and the CC. Install .NET 4.5 and all Windows updates.
