talented - auto talent plugin

[bobby53]

Revision request: Determine which of the 3 Talent trees in the wowhead spec string has the most points in it and spend points on that tree first. The current implementation fills in left to right as they apper in the wowhead string. This is a problem since the CC's read the current talent spec and change behavior based upon which tree currently has the most points spent in it. So using StephanT's Enhancement Shaman build example above which has 19 points in the Elemental tree, the talented plugin would spend the talent points earned from levels 10-28 in the Elemental tree, even though StephanT intended this to be an Enhancement spec. The result is that the character would play as Elemental until level 48, which is the point where it would reach a 19/20/0 build having 1 more point in the Enhancement tree than any other.

There are other ways you could specify the order, but the above is the simplest and wouldn't need any additional configuration values from the user beyond the wowhead url parameter which is already required. If this is already the intention of the addin let me know and I'll shoot you a log. I just started a priest using the default which is a Shadow build and it spent points in the Disc tree first.

Kuchr... Nice work! Looks like you had planned on implementing the behavior before my suggestion. In version 1.3 of the file the only thing preventing it from assigning talents to the main talent tree first is line 113 in the doTalents() function. Changing the portion of the statement "where t.tabIndex == 1" to "where t.tabIndex == mainTab" does the trick. This allows 17/54/0 build to spend the first 54 points in the second tab before spending any on tab 1. Thanks for the well thought out solution!

The default specs in talented come from the website http://wowlevelingbuilds.com/ . The default Shaman spec is the Enhancement leveling build from that site and leaves out two key talents you will want for high dps and survivability as well as general utility in battlegrounds as you hit the 60's (Maelstrom weapon and Feral Spirit.) Here are the Wowhead strings matching the builds recommended for use with ShamWOW during leveling:

Enhancement [link]

Elemental [link]
​

ShamWOW will work with any spec you choose, but has been extensively tested with both of these.
