PQR Rotation Bot Integration

[amputations]

He didnt say what he pulled 35k on, if it was on a target-dummy - Pretty darn impressive. If it was on Mannoroth in Well of Eternity, not so impressive. I suggest you do some more research on the recent warlock-profiles for PQR before you judge them too much. At least I would if I had a lock and was in your situation, try write a detailed post in the PQR-thread about it and say whats wrong and what could be done better. If not, nothing will happen.

Also, did you download Crystal_Techs latest version, and checked the exclamation-mark in the rotation? It tells you how the profile works.
Here's his latest versions of Affli and Demo: Crystal_Tech_Warlock.rar

@OP: I have asked something similar before, and quickly told that the Buddy team will not ever support other bots. I was trying to get PQR to handle ONLY combat, while HB controlled all movement. Kind of like one of the Do Nothing CC's, that ONLY controlled movement. At the time I was trying to get a good Spriest rotation going, and none of the ones available here are worth a damn to be frank. However, Mentally's PQR profiles are SUPERB! Alas, it will never happen, atleast publicly. BUT, if someone does make this possible, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me have a go at it! =P

Im not very familiar with plugin development for HB but I might take a shot at it nonetheless. I just see this as being positive and only helpful to those that want to appear more realistic while botting.....people don't often see botters topping DPS charts by a landslide and PQR bot helps you do just that (well atleast for me it does). Even in Pvp I out perform everyone else with PQR over HBs CCs.

I mean all that needs to be done is for PQR Bot to be active and attached and for HB to recognize that it is and send the keybind to the game for your desired rotation. It could also be worked to automatically switch between rotations depending on whether your farming or doing BGs. It can also be created to detect if your attacking/attacked by an NPC or a Player and switch between PvE and PvP rotations.

So far I've been able to find a CC for all my classes, which has topped dps every time used.
You ARE botting, so does it honestly matter to you if you do 30 k or 35 k in lfr?
If yes, then its about time you start playing your char by hand, if there's any pride in how much dps you can lash out

The entire reason I choose to use a rotation bot is because I HAVE played my char by hand year after year, expansion after expansion. It gets repetitive quite fast but I still enjoy the game. I only accept to use CCs that can do the same amount of DPS I can do currently. So far no CC for HB can even compare to my own ability to play my class but PQR can as I put all my knowledge and logic into a profile of my own making. I fine-tuned that rotation profile to play just as I would. I'm sure when I have the time and figure out how to properly develop a CC here for Lazyraider, it will compare next to none found here for Masterfrost DKs atleast. However, I spent weeks developing my Rotation Profile for PQR and it is near perfection. I have no problem trying to focus my efforts creating the perfect DPS profile for MF DKs for HB but in the meantime it would have been nice to be able to run HB alongside PQR.

Also, not to sound demeaning but settling for mediocre when you know you have the ability to improve isn't acceptable in my opinion. Is that not how HB became to be the great bot it is today?

Why does every other reply on a botting and automation forum has to be "do it by hand" ? We would be somewhere else if we wanted to do it by hand.

Besides, it's not about a 5K DPS difference, it's more like 20-25K difference, and when people see it they rage and go like "you are supposed to be pulling more step it up", because they are not blind or stupid and may not know much about Locks, but they sure know how much a DPS is supposed to pull on a certain item level, and when the difference is too drastic they begin to rage at you, so it's not about pride, but about pulling at least the minimum required DPS to not get group aggro.

Yes, I did try to fix the problem with the Lock rotations and even made my own, but it would seem that PQR simply fails at executing all the checks and managing spell priorities, since Locks have a lot of stuff to watch out for, as they no longer have a rotation, but priorities, which must be intelligently managed depending on the situation, and with all checks implemented and all the logic in place, PQR got too slow at handling it all and the end result was a drop in DPS compared to the default rotation.

I'd rather just bot a simpler class that actually can be botted just as well as if it was hand-played, and that's exactly what I did at the end.

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone is playing locks at all atm as they are terrible to play right now and with blizz still fumbling around it doesn't looke like the situation will improve any time soon.

Actually, it may improve with MoP, as they are totally overhauling the Lock class, not just minor buffs and nerfs and adjustments.

Locks have been totally overlooked and forgotten for two expansions in a row, so at the end of Cata, when people totally abandoned their Locks and the problem became very obvious, Blizzard realized they had a situation there and responded with a blue post that regretfully fixing the Lock class is not something that can be done in Cata, because Cata is already at its end, and when they buff the Locks, pro players pull insane numbers and insane stuff on their Locks and when they nerf them so the pros are not totally OP on their Locks, the class becomes impossible to play for the average user, and this is no longer just a matter of simply nerf this and buff that and a lot more work is needed.

I certainly do hope that in MoP Locks will become attractive again for the average user, as so far Blizzard have put more effort into them than into any other class.

Does that mean that Blizz is going to get rid of fearlocking? No more fear/dot/dead? If so, that would be great, and also stunlock and saplock. I, personally, don't like that only a fraction of the classes get something like this. If all classes can't do it, then none of them should. That's when I'm playing by hand, mind you. When I'm botting I could care less what goes on. I botted an entire Cataclysmic Ruthless set on my rogue with BGBuddy while I watched TV, surfed the net, and did other crap around my house. But, when I play, I rage out when I'm getting locked up by rogues that do nothing but cheap shot or kidney shot, and keep me on lockdown. Can't stand being feared either, be it in PvE or PvP. Fear is one of the worst spells put in this game, in my opinion. Some may agree, some may not, and that's fine.

To be hohnest this is a great idea .Dunno if it would ever come off though. i currently use PQR for guild raids on warrior and rogue and its just great for dps.I use HB for gathering and lvling basically because i'm a noob and cant get to grips with lazy raider and hate having low dps compared to what i can do manually or with PQR.

 

[imdasandman]

When i was still active in wow in .fr i would use combat bot with one of those do nothing cc and used my pqr profile for unholy and frost. They worked fine that way. As far as pvp is concerned. Same setup as above. But i used bgbot instead of combat bot with the glue plugin.

 

[amputations]

Firepong already have made his edit of the Singular-CC for druids paired with a PQR-profile of his own, it should work well for leveling hes said.

I think using other peoples work here looks like a serious hack, parsing their files reimplementing their api, whatever else is required.
We should focus , at least beginning in Pandaria, on good default support here.
Its ridiculous using PQR if you already bought HB, just because the DPS is better on the other side of the fence^^

There are some rumors going on at the top WoW sites that in MoP actually everything is going to be about CC and Blizzard are going to abandon the 3v3 bracket like they dropped the 2v2 bracket in Cata and focus entirely on 5v5 and exceptionally on RBG's as the greater diversity in these 2 brackets actually automatically balances out things and reduces the need for balancing every class against every other class so precisely. You shouldn't take those rumors too seriously, tho, as most Lock spells are not even yet implemented and thus, the mechanics of the class are not yet complete, and Blizzard are still focusing more on the PVE experience like leveling, questing, dungeons, and pet battles. Actually, since most WoW companion pets never had any special abilities, it would be very tough for Blizzard to implement them all, so probably true PVP balance will come to the focus in the last couple of months before the release, which means from the start of October to the end of November, when MoP is due for release.
