Version 2, last updated by Garion42 at Oct 10 19:53 2008 UTC
Here is an alpha version of my new druid CC.
Un-anounced builds will be released often, only major releases will be posted in the forums. Check the date on the website for info.
Remember, this is an early alpha release. It will have bugs, and missing features. Use at your own risk. Please check the issues log before reporting bugs. If you have some important info to add, please do, but don't add noise.
Please include the relevant part of your glider log, as well as any additional information you can (including task, level, mob type, etc) when reporting bugs.
Rundown :
Pather only
WOTLK/3.02 Ready - I am including support for the new abilities and strategies coming in patch 3.02 and wotlk. Including using the new tiger's fury for energy, healing using the herbalism heal spell, savage roar, using cat feral charge for behind openers, etc. Some of these are still works in progress.
Feral - Other specs will come in the future
Does handle balance combat until you get bear/cat form, but very mana inneficient - works best level 10+, but I have leveled 5 druids 1-10 using it.
Does good pounce/mangle/shred+ openers. Will fall back to ravage, shred, or claw openers if you don't have the spells yet. I consistently get 2 shreds and a faerie fire in while the mob is stunned, without OOC. OOC and tigers fury energy boost might give 4 shreds during the stun!
Supports Spells from level 1-60. Level 60-70 spells are not supported yet. Has only been tested through level 40. My testing druid is only that high, so I can only test him as he levels. Therefore, while mangle code is in place, it may be buggy. It should use OOC procs correctly, but my testing druid does not have OOC yet, so I'm not sure.
Full support for auto keys. Put your keys where-ever you want, with the following limitation : Each druid form gets its own bar #1. Put only combat spells for the appropriate form in bar 1. IE, balance spells on bar1 human, cat spells on bar1 cat, bear on bar 1 bear. Don't put any healing spells or buff spells or anything you might want to cast from bear/cat on bar 1 human, or it will not get cast. Completely untested with macros. They may screw everything up. Mods such as bartender may cause issues with casting as well, especially the extra "prowl" button bar. If you have issues, turn off any button mods and check again
Currently the CC requires and allows zero configuration. As you add new abilities to your bar, the class "Does The Right Thing (tm)" This is to simplify testing, if you see a bug, I know it isn't due to your configuration. The class will have less configuration than many other classes do, because the class is more intelligent, and can figure it out on its own, but some things like healing levels, or general strategy desired will be configurable in the future.
The class automatically uses the correct combat form based on your the mob or mobs it is facing. It will switch to bear if the mob is high level, or elite.
The class tries to avoid adds. This logic needs to be improved, sometimes it makes things worse.
The class will buff and heal itself. It does not buff or heal anyone else yet.
The class will run in travel form for long distances, cat for short distances (since it is probably in cat already from combat). Mounting is currently not supported.
The class will automatically stealth if friendly players are nearby, including dismounting and switching to cat form if needed. the bot will continue to patrol and pull in this mode. There is no option to turn this off, it will be configurable in the future.
The class will automatically stealth and try to avoid PVP enemies. It will back away from any nearby enemy player. It will not engage in combat in this mode with the PVP target, or with mobs. But if combat is started it will kill mobs. If a PVP player attacks, it just dies. PVP combat is not supported yet. This mode can not be turned off yet, it will be configurable in the future. This means this class cannot be used for any task which will use a neutral city or neutral vendors, since it will avoid enemy players.
There is no Party/BG/Healbot support yet.
