[PAID] YourRaidingBuddy V2 Premium

I don't know what it is but I'm using the latest honorbuddy + enyo + yourraidingbuddy and anytime I go into instances the CR just doesnt do anything. Sometimes it'll drop a trap or cast black arrow but that's about it. Works fine outside of instances though.
 
Also, after testing with Necrotic Plague + Unholy Blight - it doesn't use UB at all. UB should be used on CD and we should be using Festerblight rotation to maintain our NP @ 15 stacks until UB is available again at which time we use that to keep our NP @ 15 stacks and switch to normal rotation, and once UB has ended we go back to Festerblight rotation, rinse and repeat.

The only difference between normal ST rotation and Festerblight rotation is instead of using Scourge Strike on Death runes, use Festering Strike in order to extend the time that Necrotic Plague is at 15 stacks. The time of your Necrotic Plague should be extended long enough to match or exceed the time remaining on your Unholy Blight cooldown.

Lastly - NP did fall off a couple of times. I had 97.8% uptime on NP in a LFR Brackenspore fight, there is no reason why it shouldn't be 100% uptime - I was always in range of the boss, I didn't die. I did switch to the big add when it spawned, but it had a 15 stack of NP from Brackenspore, so I have no idea why it would have let NP fall off.

EDIT: Also, DnD isn't being used when using Necrotic Plague talent, tested on multiple bosses in LFR with Specialkey enabled, not used once.

Hi cmavo87,

Festerblight is not recommended on most bosses, hardly it's worth it. Unless you are PvPing.. I'm looking into the DnD issue with NP talent.

Also regarding the 97.8% uptime is because you have to use UB manually. It's better that way because you want to save it for cleaving if NP falls down during non-bloodlust/heroism/timewarp.


How do I disable it?

Hi Macedorafael,

It's in the settings. Disable all SEF settings

Hi DewdInTheNewd,

Please test it in LFR or similar, as always provide with log.
 
Quick update regarding SEF.

I've currently spent some hours messing around with it, it seems to work OK now. I just need the beta testers to test it fully then I can go back working on the multidotting for SV hunters

I will release a hotfix for the SEF once the testing is complete.

Actually Festerblight is the only viable rotation for Mythic Brackenspore/Tectus/Twins/Koragh, as I said previously.

Here is the proof in form of Logs where all the top ranking Unholy DK's on those fights are using Festerblight rotation (UB+NP).

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/6#class=DeathKnight&boss=1722&spec=Unholy

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/6#class=DeathKnight&boss=1719&spec=Unholy

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/6#class=DeathKnight&boss=1723&spec=Unholy

If you look at the logs I've linked from Jan 22nd onwards (after the BB nerf and people discovering what works best), 99% of the top ranks are made up of Necrotic Plague + Unholy Blight. You can see this by clicking on the player, then clicking on the DK in question once in their raids log report, then looking at their damaging abilities then clicking on the "Casts" tab where you will see how many Festering Strikes/Scourge Strikes/Blood Boils/Unholy Blights/etc they used.

Festerblight is extremely viable at the moment and as I said, it is the clear winner by a LONG shot on the 4 fights I linked logs for. Please correct the FB rotation so that we don't let NP drop off unless boss_time_to_die is less than the current time left on Necrotic Plague, and we don't need UB to cleave as NP will spread straight away to any other targets in range - we need UB to refresh duration of NP so we can Scourge Strike while it's up and go back to Festering Striking once it's on CD again.
 

Hi cmavo87,

I'll add an option to give "Festering Strike" a higher priority when the NP is around X or less seconds. It will be it's own setting in the next hotfix that's coming this weekend hopefully.

X = It's own setting, you can finetune this as you want. The default setting will be 3 seconds

Awesome thank you, Soul Reaper should still be highest priority though. I think default setting would work best on 6 seconds to allow for Rune regen and downtime etc. Hoping this hotfix can come quick as there are currently NO Unholy profiles that work optimally with NP, and yours is the only one that works optimally with the standard rotation.

Also, a change is needed with how the Routine handles Death Coil usage - Death Coil is on very high priority when we don't have Dark Transformation activated, however when we our pet is under DT we should be only using DC on Sudden Doom procs or if we are 90% RP and about to cap with our next attack. Currently the CR uses DC as soon as we have the RP for it whilst our pet is already transformed, this is a DPS loss as opposed to banking RP (avoiding capping of course) so when DT ends we can spam DC to transform it again asap.

This is from: Son of a Lich | Acherus Forums ? View topic - Skullflower's Death Knight DPS Guide

While managing your resources, prioritize activating Dark Transformation whenever it isn't up and pool Runic Power without capping to quickly stack Shadow Infusion as soon as DT expires.

and Unholy Death Knight DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities (WoD 6.0.3) - Icy Veins

To put it simply, you should use Dark Transformation on cooldown. Maximising the amount of time that your ghoul is transformed is an important part of your playstyle.

Note that your ghoul cannot gain any stacks of the buff while he is transformed, meaning that you should attempt to save your runic power and use a series of Death Coils as soon as his transformation ends.

Sometimes, you will get free Death Coil procs from Sudden Doom Icon Sudden Doom. In this case, you should use the free Death Coil regardless of the state of your ghoul's transformation, since it may otherwise be wasted by a new proc.

TL;DR, make it so that we are pooling RP whilst our pet is transformed unless we are @ 90+ RP and about to cap on next attack (generally, offensive single rune abilities generate 10 runic power and offensive multi-rune abilities generate 15 runic power), or if we have a Sudden Doom proc.

I went ahead and tested tuanHA's lastest update, since I have not done that in a while.
Short version : While TuanHA is decent (I'm assuming you're using max damage rotation or standard rotation, cause the survavibility one plain sucks), it's wasting a shit ton of holy power, and the holy power pooling for seraphim could be improved.
Using YRB with the current release, you won't waste holy power, and will end up with a higher SoTR uptime.
And we will (soon™) have a dynamic holy power pooling, which will improve that even further !

yes i used max damage rotation. and i think u just sold me on getting it. im gonna give it a go thanks :)
 

Hi cmavo87,

Thanks for the feedback, already added the rp pooling.



UPDATE TO SEF ISSUE :

SEF is now working nicely on BETA, I'm adding anti-CC for it so it's a bit smarter. So you don't mess up your raid cc's!

Looking good for hotfix to be pushed before Saturday!
 
Elemental Sham routine

Just downloaded the 3 day trial, is there something I need to do to set it up? other then the framelock? I have an elemental shammy and all the CR does is cast Chain Lightning over and over again. Is there a guide to walk me through the set up for max dps? or a button to click? or does it simply not work outside of a Raid? Please help.

Thanks!

Hi fumbdool!

Remember to set all your cooldowns to OnBoss (in raids), if you are using automated mode you need to set the AoECount to the amount you want for the AoE to trigger.

try with log next time and we'll try to help ya
 
How close to the damage simcraft puts out can this get, assuming BiS for a given class?
 
This routine simply refuses to use death and decay, simply refuses. I've tried auto settings, tried activating AoE with hotkey...set to use death and decay with 2 and set to use aoe. Frost DK, simply refuses! Hate shit that doesnt work.
