Faceroller - Unholy Deathknight (Continued)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3
by: branana [More]

I didn't create this module, deadca7 did but decided to discontinue it. I made some modifications to it:

- Icy touch first instead of Plague strike because usually you are running up to the target.
- Check runes when using Icy Touch and Plague Strike
- Prioritize Scourge Strike when already have desolation buff
- Prioritize Blood Strike when we don't have desolation buff

Original addon page: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=15337

3:

Will prioritize Scourge Strike if both blood runes are death runes and are ready even if no desolation buff.
Removed horn of winter, wasn't working well with some strength of earth totems

--------------------

2:

Restructured checks.
Added support for Reaping (talent)

--------------------

Any chance it can be set up to suggest you use pestilence to refresh your diseases instead of going IT/PS again?

It'd have to take into consideration:
1 - Glyphed for it (which all UH DK's should);
2 - You already have both Frost Fever and Blood Plague up on your target
3 - Available Blood Rune

I would try to help programming it, but I'm afraid my LUA skills are not quite there yet.

Thanks for the addon!

I don't think Pestilence Glyph is proper EJ FOTM.

It depends.

If you're expecting multiple targets, recommended glyphs are:

Death and Decay
Icy Touch
Disease (which is the one you guys actually mean when you're saying Glyph of Pestilence).


For single target (which is all Faceroller is capable of handling) it's:

Icy Touch
Ghoul
Dark Death

Unholy Rune

Something I have noticed while respeccing to 3/3 Reaping with 2pt10, is that it doesn't use the Death Runes.

Seems as if you miss-arranged the Death Runes to be used as Blood Strikes, instead of Scourge Strikes?
That's what I noticed, at least, since when Death Runes are up, it continues using BS, and I honestly don't know much coding to do it myself.
I just end up messing everything up

Do you have desolation in your spec?

Yes, I do, and while I know that you coded SS to be priorized with Desolation, it still doesn't seem right for me to priorize SS via Desolation.

I mean, sure, in a real static fight it's no problem, but I would assume that SS > BS and therefor > Desolation. So if the buff drops off from you, I would still prefer using SS instead of using BS, since after refreshing the sicknesses, I will be proccing Desolation again.

(ie. IT, PS, BS, BS, SS, DC, HoW, SS, DC, SS, SS, DC)

Priority goes as such:

blood strike (don't have desolation) > scourge strike > blood strike (have desolation)

and scourge strike is used when:

at least 1 frost rune and 1 unholy rune is available
at least 1 frost or unholy rune is available and 1 death rune is available

You are basically saying in the following scenario:
- we do NOT have desolation buff
- we have active and ready death runes that came from blood runes

It suggests you use one of the death runes to get desolation back up

You want it to suggest to use both death runes to scourge strike instead

Correct?

Can you point me to a source where it shows that doing that will do more dps than maintaining desolation?

Is it better?

It's more a thing of "How much uptime do I really have" and that is, using SimulationCraft and my own experience and some calculation, something around 98%, even when having a heavy Move-Boss (ie. Blood Princes which is a horror).

You are basically sacrificing one SS out of three for a 100% Desolation Uptime, which simply doesn't match up with the dmg you loose when sacrificing that one SS.

Look, when you do 2 SS and 1 BS you are sacrificing a CD where you could use DC, so you are loosing 3-4k dmg.
You are basically catching up with the loss of 100% uptime AND doing more damage. (ie. Festergut, Blood Princes, Rotface)


Mind you, just with 2pt10.

Maybe a good compromise would be creating two templates? One for the general and one for Tier 10 Set Bonus? :>


P.S.

Just tested it and yes, that's exactly the problem I had. With changing that part in the lua the following happens:
Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Strike
and then it suggests using Scourge Strike.
What I want though -- and what would be a lot more logical since the CDs need to end up more or less at the same time for using SS with Death Runes -- would be doing two Blood Strikes, then the Scourge Strike and as soon as the Blood Runes turn to Death Runes, one more Scourge Strike.

Is that technically possible? Because that is what I couldn't figure out.

few things ive noticed. there's no priority to use gargoyle, should be used on cd or at least add an option to include it. As well, options to prioritize either IT or PS for fights where you move around a lot.

no HoW... i get the cup icon yet i can HoW for RP... why isnt it showing up.

also, its better to

PS, IT, BS, SS, BS, DC, HoW, SS, BS, SS, BS, DC, DC, DC

OR with reaping (needs to be calculated in as this is the spec to be with 2pT10)

PS, IT, BS, BS, SS, DC, HoW, SS, DC, SS, SS, DC, DC

easiest way to solve the reaping factor is by prioritizing BS over SS completely.

Also a 3rd option for aoe fights such as Anub, with pest glyph and 2 points in morbidity.

IT, PS, pest, DnD, DC, HoW (initially) and then
SS, BS, BB, SS, DC, SS, Pest, DnD, DC, HoW (repeat)

not sure if it is possible to do the aoe one though.

Install Error

I downloaded Faceroller and your addon for unholy DK's. However after installing them I recieved this Error when loggin into the game.


Faceroller: no such module: UnholyTest

I then open up Faceroller to the moduels and there was no option to chose unholy.


Maybe I placed the files in the wrong location. Where should the files be placed?

Thank You for your help.
