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

Risfato said:
Hi I have now one problem that never happened to me. When I open the HB and Portal Premium, I have a popup telling me: Facing: Disabled, Targeting: enable etc... how can I get out this?
Click to expand...

go to advanced tab and disable the overlay. then restart HB
 
Can someone please post a video or in-depth guide on how to set this up for arena, good hot key setting etc. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

or are their any other CR's that are good in arena so all i have to do is move? lol

For me it is never casting Arcane Barrage, just spams arcane blast and missiles until I run out of mana.
 
OVERLAY?... What happened to the beautiful overlay you had? It was perfect, right in the middle of the screen to let me know the setting that was changed then gone. The new one makes me feel like I'm in prison with a fat sweaty girl and there isn't enough room to look away, all i can do is sit there looking at this fat girl on my screen... I think she has a wart... yeah no its a pimple oh wait no its overlay.

I miss old thin beautiful blue overlay.
 
Millz for some reason I cant seem to get the combust above average with X number targets to work - and meteor casts seem to be inconsistent. Here is a log of hitting on the raider's training dummy in stormshield. It has two dummies right next to it, so the "ignite above average and with 2 targets are in range" option should basically work every time it is off cooldown and above average. But combustion was never hit, and meteor was never cast either (yes, I have "Use meteor" checked in the talents). I observed this same behavior in a raid environment.

Also, does targeting need to be on for the combustion trick to work?

I quiet like the new one, all the information in one place. It may not be pretty but it's easy to see.

You have combustion on cooldown enabled, the routine was waiting for 2 set to proc cant tell much more because the sample was only 1.45 minutes long.

your average ignite was 3000ish and you had it 2500 so thats ok.
Try changing the combustion option from always on to ignite setting. if that fails to work remove your 2 set or if you have a 2 set in your bags try putting that in your bank.

Bty I noticed you have pause on none movement key set to 1500 thats really long.

Edit: Also if you pvp do a test arena or if pve kill a mob that will last more than a few mins I noticed that the routine can have issue with dummy's

It's only 2-3 seconds and doesnt suck mana. by the time you get your four charges a second later slag mines are cast so the tank moves but the issue is 1 second before PC has been cast. It really is holding of for 2-3 seconds so mana is never a issue.
On mythic I just do an extra blast or 2 by that time the tank is moved so I can enter burn phase. It also helps me a lot that the tank know's not to move miles.
I have tried camping four stacks burning mana, evocation, then burn phase and lots of other ways but simply holding off for a couple of seconds is the best way to maximise damage output.

Yeah I fully agree with where you're coming from, it's just hard to automate that into the routine. I think it's one of those situations where it may be safer to run the opener yourself and toggle the pause key to allow the routine to take over once you're ready for PC to be used.

Millz I see you say not to use burst in pve but it's the only effective way I've found of getting the prismatic crystal right... so many times it will place it and the boss will move seconds later. Why do you insist on just using cooldown key?
Click to expand...

I advise against using the burst key as it skips a lot of validation checks to ensure things are being used optimally. If you're wanting to just do it for PC then you may be better off using the PC mouseover hotkey?

No harm toggling burst on, let routine place PC, then toggle it off again though. Whatever works best for you really.

Can you post a full, unedited log file please? First guess is that you haven't reloaded HB after changing spec.

Ha that took a lot of work! I agree it's not very pretty, but functionally it's really handy to have everything on screen.

I'll add options to allow switching between the permanent overlay and the popup one.

Combustion didn't cast because Meteor hadn't cast (it boosts ignite value so waits for Meteor to land before casting Combustion. I'm not particularly sure why Meteor hadn't cast though.

I've found a few little inconsistencies in the code that I'll fix. Would you mind PM'ing me your Skype username to test to see if my changes resolves the issues before I push it live?
 
Don't mean to be rude but the combat routine for fire and especially arcane are badly done. There is a loss of 10k dps on arcane (I am mythic geared) when using it compared to a free routine I've used. For fire, there is also a significant loss in dps compared to manual usage (Both in end game mythic raiding).
Note that I have only used the trial version so far, so perhaps that has a different logic to the paid version.
Some of the problems with arcane: No supernova usage at all, odd use of arcane power, arcane barrage cast even when the number of stacks are less than 4, arcane missiles cast when the mana is above 93% instead of arcane blast, delayed casting - the mage should never reach 100 mana since its supposed to time the arcane blast/evocation in such a way that the max mana is always lower than 99%.

I haven't tested fire enough but my dps in mythic hanz/franz was significantly lower (5-10k) than what I usually output. Does it do the 2pc ignite trick mentioned on Lexi's guide?

Advanced Combustion Usage with T17 2P Bonus:
Due to how Mastery: Ignite works, you can greatly increase your Mastery: Ignite when two or more mobs are close together. Simply open as usual (but without using Inferno Blast), fire all of your Pyroblast procs into the primary target, then cast Inferno Blast twice in a row, swap to the second target and use Combustion. When Mastery: Ignite is spread twice like this, Mastery: Ignite is compressed which gives it a higher value, this can be performed on single target fights too with good use of Prismatic Crystal.

I wouldn't critique this as much if it wasn't advertised as an end game raiding routine, but for what it is, it isn't doing enough.

Hey

The free version hasn't been updated for WoD. It's still using the old MoP rotations. I'm surprised it's still loading nevermind actually casting stuff :)

Cheers
 
Hey, thanks for your reply. I'm using the 2 day trial version and it seems to be up to date since the changelogs are very recent. For example this is the last changelog:
[08/Apr/2015]
- [Fire] When cooldowns hotkey disabled, the T17 2PC trick is also disabled.
- [Fire] Removed LB multi-dotting. It's only worth casting when it can be spread to other targets.
- Overlay now shows the toggled values permanently in a little window.
- Overlay font sizes can now be changed.

It also has the recently implemented combustion options.

Hey - The trial of the premium version works, yeah - there used to be a free version which I thought you were talking about.

The arcane issues - Something probably isn't setup right - If you can post a log file I can take a look and see what's going on.

Cheers
