Millz,

Long time fan of this routine. and for the most part it is running pretty smooth. The only thing i have noticed is if I am sitting on 3 orbs my character will just sit and wait until a 4th orb is generated before casting DP. My character will even not cast a Shadow Insight proc until that 4th orb is up, It will case MF and keep Pain and VT up but that is it.If i knew anything about code I would try and help you, but that seems to be my only issue. Thanks again for a great routine.

Hey millz I have been playing around with my spriest 628 ilvl atm so far spriest seems to be far behind every other class. The only rotation I found that does simi good dps is COP wit dot weaving. Will you be supporting this rotation with this routine?

There seems to be something awkward with Insanity at the moment, the combat rotation is simply not working as it should with awkward pauses and downtime in about every fight making them very inefficient. I guess it's just not updated to work with 6.0.2 and Warlords of Draenor at the moment making for some fuzzy behaviour. I'm sure Millz will take a look at this when he get some spare time. It might seem like Demonic (Warlock) is his top priority at the moment, he also got his Potral (Mage) Combat Routine so I guess it's also a matter of what kind of class and routine he prioritize the most coming into Warlords of Draenor.

I figured as much. Just wanted to point out where exactly in the routine it seems to be catching, Millz does awesome work so no complaints here, just didn't want him looking blindly for it. And grats on your lvl 100 Millz.

[20:42:29.816 D] [Insanity ~ Debug] Entered Combat

Also coming back to that Halo problem, it should not have been casted at all because no one pulled Malkorok, but as soon as i got into the distance(from monk to me) it casted halo and pulled malkorok with it
The combat check for Halo certainly doesn't work the way it should be. bounding boxes not being calculated properly ?

Do you have auto targeting enabled in Portal? What about force combat in Enyo?

There's a lot less checks when targeting is disabled - it just accepts the target as being valid.

First of the other 2 is that occasionally, it'll just stand there. Not casting anything until I cast something. Now this isnt at the start (I have force combat off, but it does it even with it on) it happens in the middle of a fight.

Second problem I also wanted to report is more of a supreme annoyance. When targeting friendly NPCs ie: for quest turn in, collection, or flight pathing it constantly tries to cast something. Not sure what but hearing that rapid ticking and getting "Invalid target" pop up continuously is very annoying! Any way to stop that?

The idling should be fixed now. NPC attacking - can you post a log file please?

Cheers

After doing the 2 day trial and seeing it wasn't functioning correctly, I would like to purchase it, but should I wait till you fix it? Also it seems to have some problems with a boosted character at the start, just ended up powering through it. You do a awesome job and thank you!

- PS - I come from Tuanaha with a Ret Pally, seems my priest lacks luster =x

All trials have been reset apparently. It should be working better now - have another go of the 2 day trial (if it's available again).

Does not do rotation on Frostwolf War Wolf mount

No plans to add support for this. It's not required for the 1.5 levels spent in Nagrand.

Millz,

The only thing i have noticed is if I am sitting on 3 orbs my character will just sit and wait until a 4th orb is generated before casting DP.

Thanks again for a great routine.

Have you tried it today? I pushed a fix for the pausing stuff last night, should be fixed now. If it's not fixed, can you post a log file please? Cheers

Hey millz I have been playing around with my spriest 628 ilvl atm so far spriest seems to be far behind every other class. The only rotation I found that does simi good dps is COP wit dot weaving. Will you be supporting this rotation with this routine?

Waiting to see how COP goes for now. Dot weaving is very unforgiving, a slight mistake or movement at the wrong time causes the whole rotation to sink into terrible DPS. The 'COP Lite' rotation is the safest one.

My current thoughts on this are to write full separate rotations for dot weaving/CoP standard and have a toggle so that it can be turned on (possibly with a hotkey).

COP Lite:

This playstyle lacks the burst of the traditional Clarity of Power rotation, but makes up for this with increased sustained damage. Against 2 or more permanent targets, Clarity of Power Lite is on par with or exceeds the traditional Clarity of Power rotation.

I'd thought of updating the routines in order of most used (demonic -> portal -> insanity), but changed my mind just before WoD went live. It's not very fair on those who have bought Insanity to have to wait longer, just because their class is less played. That's why I disappeared from the forums for 4 days while I hardcore levelled up all 3 toons to level 100 so I could fix them all together. A couple of days of a poor rotation while levelling is worth it in the long run.

I'm at work at the moment but will repeat and pull log and post here when I get home. Very easy to replicate though. Just have the bot on and select an NPC. Like, a banker. I'm pretty new to HB (about a month of use!) so it may not even be your CR but it didnt happen before so I assumed. Thanks for taking the time to address me!

Haven't used insanity until today since WoD came out. Hit 100 Day 1. Threw it on to see how your CoP lite is doing. Guessing the lite part of it means no mind spike? Doesn't mind spike at all.

HowToPriest.com ? View topic - Dot weaving
Very simple priority.

If you do not have 4 orbs
#1 Shadow Word: Death (boss under 20%)
#2 Mind Blast
#3 Mind Spike

Once at 4 orbs
Mind Blast (4th orb) > Mind Spike > Vampiric Touch, Shadow Word: Pain > Mind Blast (5th orb) > Devouring Plague > Insanity > Mind Blast > Devouring Plague > Insanity > Mind Blast
If you do this correctly, Vampiric Touch, Shadow Word: Pain and Devouring Plague should run out at the same time, once they have you start over again.

The Mind Spike after the Mind Blast for the 4th orb is crucial because the second you finish putting your dots up, mind blast is off cooldown for that 5th. If you skip it, you're screwed.

Hey there, havent been playing since last year, and now Im back for some WoD gaming.
I bought your routine back in december last year, but can´t seem to find how to "reactivate" it again now.

The COP Lite rotation doesn't use Mind Spike. Shadow Priest DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities (WoD 6.0.3) - Icy Veins

So with COP lite do I choose SoD or Insanity?

 

[nowyouseeme]

Also should we pick ToF or SI?

 

[nowyouseeme]

I've been using SoD, ToF and CoP. It keeps clipping Insanity for the MB instant. Also I have heard that putting SW: D in the rotation is strong atm when glyphed. It won't use it even when glyphed.

 

[seotrabajo]

Sorry but there must still be error... I am ilvl 624 and making in Dungeon max. 10k DPS and on Dummy 7k DPS... Everyone in the dungeon makes 15-20k and me 10k if I am lucky.. Most of the time only 8-9k dps...
Game is now already some time out, and still errors are not fixed on the rotation ... even singular makes more DPS then this premium rotation.

Logs attached...

^This.
Although SoD and MFI can be switched depending on your mastery.

 

[Guadah]

I'm unable to find the Free version in the BuddyStore, has it been disabled? The Paid version is up, but I'm not even sure if I'll prefer it over Singular yet, so I'd like to try the Free version out first.

Any plans to add the dot weave?

 

[Soupy25]

Working great right now. Still waits to use DP at 4 orbs but I think that is just how you have it priority wise. Thank you!
