Beta Testers Needed for new Custom Class FightThisWay

Kamilche said:
A PET who casts a targetable AOE? :D No, I didn't know that existed, so FTW doesn't currently handle that. Will fix that up later today.

Well the code I used was the one that was in the original download mage_frost.txt ;) It's just the frost nova spell that the pet uses. It has been there for ages :)

Well, didn't notice it had a casting circle anyways. I fixed that up, works good now, thanks for catching it!
 
Latest changes for FightThisWay include:

Code: 
10/07/2012
	Hid 'Unknown spell XXX' messages, you can see them again by turning on diagnostic messages.
	Tweaked interrupts, so they should fire a lot more often now and at farther away mobs.
	Added new actions:
		Target.InterruptAny - Casts this interrupt spell at the farthest away spellcaster it can.
		Target.ParalyzeAny - Casts this paralyze spell at the mob attacking the healer, or the farthest away spellcaster it can.
	Reduced time between double-cast spells to speed them up a bit.
	Removed 'HasSpell' checks from all the data files, hid the 'spell not found' message under Diagnostic messages.
	Set 'follow tank after combat' at 20 yards instead of 5 yards.

	Enhanced classes:
		Shaman_Enhancement - created
		Shaman_talentless - created
		Paladin_Protection - revised rotation quite a bit.
		Mage_Frost - Made pet 'Freeze' spell click on ground.

Hi

Can this also be used for PVP ?

Thanks

I, ah, don't know. I haven't used it in battlegrounds. Congratulations, you found the TOTALLY UNTESTED portion of this custom class! I haven't done PVP since they nerfed the gear - I was only there for the gear, I really disliked it otherwise.

There IS code in there for battlegrounds - looking for adds near you. If you're in a battleground, and enemies are within 40 yards of you, they're considered an add. Outside the battleground, the mob must be attacking one of your party members, to be considered an add.

Other than that, FTW treats them as just another tasty critter to kill. 'Kill the critter, Pa, kill the CRITTER!'

Yes, it can. It caused me much stress, but I entered a battleground today just to test this for you. I ended up 5th in honorable kills, middle of the pack in damage done, and near the top in deaths, as an assassination rogue.

At least I got a few achievements out of it!
 
I had an undergeared 85, and managed to kill a level 88 on my own. Once I killed 3 in a row before someone got me... it took a group of 3 to take me down.

It seems hardly fair. :(
 
Interrupts and Paralyzes
In the latest version of FightThisWay, interrupts are handled differently. The old method still works, so if you're coding up your class, don't worry.

The new method is 'InterruptAny' and 'ParalyzeAny.'

InterruptAny takes a look at the spell you give it, and determines its max range. It then looks for all mobs within that range, and returns the one farthest away from you, that is spellcasting, that is interruptable.. That's the one you interrupt. This is handy for battlegrounds, where the healers/casters hang back - if you have a ranged interrupt or silence, use it here.

ParalyzeAny takes a look at the spell you give it, and determines its max range. It then looks for all mobs within that range, and returns the one that is either a) hitting the healer, or b) casting a spell, even if it's not interruptable. That's the one you paralyze. This is handy for parties, where the healer is getting bashed and you want to save him, but you don't want to leave your current target. Also, it's a way to silence otherwise uninterruptable spells.
 
Wow, no bug report in 24 hours. Things must be going well!

I worked up a help file for FightThisWay. It's available in the download on the first page, also here.

Now with the great taste of SHAMANS! Yes, there's an enhancement shaman included now. Today I'll be working on Elemental and Resto.
 
The shaman series is complete - resto, enhancement, and elemental. Available at the download link on the first page.

for shamans we have shamwow, hands done nothing can keep up with shamwow. it is the most amazing cc we have. Bobby is da baus!
 
I have to say this is pretty impressive and simple to configure, given the EXTREME amount of ways this you can customize ! I have to say great work! +rep!

FTW supports Shamans now - they were finished yesterday. Download the latest version, and let me know how it goes for you. If you see something you don't have, that you want, drop me a line.
 
went to try new shammy code, but getting 404 error when I try to download the FTW.ZIP

Thanks, I appreciate it! I always strive to make things simple for the end-user, to the extreme. Also - thanks to my son who is a power-user of WoW, who has helped me set up the rotation for all these classes (except for Druids, which was my main.) His reflexes are so quick, I was always struggling to keep up during gameplay - but no longer, I just whip out my bot. ;-D

Last night, as we were watching my Brewmaster level, he said 'You know, there is one thing real players do that a bot can't - and that's gather up multiple mobs from far apart, get them into a tight circle, and THEN start fighting.' I thought about it, and said 'Au contraire! Watch this', and coded up a new routine... 'PullMore.' If you place the following lines in the combat portion of your class, it will cause you to always be fighting 3 mobs, if possible. It will pull the closer ones first, then the farther ones. How far away it will pull from, depends on the range of your taunt. In this case, I used 'Provoke', so it will pull mobs from up to 40 yards away. Replace 'Provoke' with whatever ranged taunt your class has, and feel free to bump that number on 'AddsCount' as well.

Code: 
Me.PullMore Provoke
    Target.AddsCount < 3
    Me.Health > 80


I demoed it for him, but I was an undergeared level 80 in Hyjal, and pulled Baron Gedde and 2 blazing fire elementals. I kept dying, so I had to finally stop the bot and do that quest by hand (HonorBuddy has always acted stupid around Baron Gedde!) Anyways, we had a good laugh over it, and I commented it out for now.

So if you're overpowered, and want to fight more mobs than your opening AOE will pull, give this a shot! Any class can use this, not just Monk_Brewmaster.

This would work well for cloth farming in Deepholm from Stone Troggs, for instance. I plan on UNcommenting those lines in Monk_Brewmaster, once I'm more fully geared.
