TTL, Sniper Training, aspect alert and shot prediction frames (from top to bottom, left to right)

FaceShooter Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

FaceShooter is an addon for hunters that tries to predict which shot should be used next based on a dynamically created priority list and shows it as an icon.

So far It also includes frames for

the estimated time-to-life of and dps on your current target (based on it´s healthloss over time)
switch alerts for Aspect of the Viper on low mana and Dragonhawk at high mana (you choose the threshold)
sniper training - icon turns green if the buff has just been refreshed, red if it´s going to fall off if you keep moving, normal in between and disappears if you´ve lost the buff.

Each of those frames as well as the main shot-recommendation frame are optional and can be turned on/off, scaled, moved etc.

DISCLAIMER: It´s still rather betaish and doesn´t include a GUI for configuration yet. You can access all options via /fs or /faceshooter. It also may contain bugs (especially for the BM priority list as I didn´t test that very much myself so far). For more information you can check the Useful Add-Ons/Mods thread at the elitist jerks forum hunter board. It does not work for non-hunter classes or below lvl 80.

CREDITS: I got my idea as well as parts of the original code from FaceMauler from Yukizawa of Aggramar which is basically the same addon for feral (cat) druids.

Change Log - FaceShooter

0.6.3b:
- player level check (lvl 80)
- fixed a memory leak
- changed TTL saving behavior
- talent specific frames (currently only sniper training) are automatically hidden if specced out of the talent
0.6.4b:
- fixed the hidden frames bug
0.6.5b:
- fixed some more performance issues
- fixed some rotating display bugs
0.7.2b
- complete priority list overhaul. Instead of a pre-determined static priority list for each talent tree FS now dynamically creates the list based on current real-time calculated shot damage
- complete (de)buff tracking system overhaul as required for above change. This should also have fixed the Serpent Sting bug.
0.7.3b
- back-to-back explosive shots 0.5s breaks should be working again
- changed TTL calculation yet again
- hopefully fixed the Serpent Sting bug once and for all
- FS doesn´t recommend Serpent Sting if another of your Stings is on target
0.7.4b
- Serpent Sting and Black Arrow damage now also factor in targets TTL
- Serpent Sting always gets priority over Serpent Sting if targets TTL is at least 3s
0.7.5b
- fixed a small bug that caused massive errormessages if you don´t have the Chimera Shot talent
0.7.6b
- fix for the fix fixing chimera shot errors *sigh*
0.7.7b2
- fixed a bug causing FS to recommend CS even on CD for targets with low TTL
- added the command /fs ttl practise to turn on a practise mode that sets the TTL to 1h for target dummies
0.7.8b
- lowered the DPS per AP ratio for HM from 0.6 to 0.5 and raised the ballmark raid dps on new targets - both changes should result in FS not recommanding HM quite as fast as it did before
- fixed a bug with Improved Steady Shot and changed FS so it doesn´t recommend AS or AimS while ISS is up to save the charge for CS.
0.7.9b
- Serpent Sting (with Noxious Stings) and Black Arrow priority now takes them enhancing other shots damage into account.
- icon will turn red when target is out of shot range
0.7.10b
- fixed a small bug causing Hunter's Mark never to be recommended in combat.
0.7.11b
- updated the TOC for 3.2.0 (couldn´t find any new incompatibilities)
- included a new option /fs shots ihm to turn off suggesting Hunter's Mark when in combat. This is turned off by default.
0.7.12b
- fixed some minor setup bugs (thx to wurmfood)
- updated serpent sting calculations to account for 2T9 set bonus
- added the option to set a minimum TTL for targets for FS to suggest HM with /fs shots minhm <seconds>
- added the option to turn off suggesting Arcane Shot completely with /fs shots ias

Re: Damage calculation with noxious stings

It does use the presence of NS/SS to calculate the damage, but when calculating whether or not serpent sting should be fired, it should consider the additional damage that will be done if serpent sting is fired if SS isn't already up. It seems like this would make it less likely to suggest firing serpent sting then it should.

I haven't tried to figure out how to fix this, but thought I'd ask here first to see if I might be missing something.

It should always account for NS.
The problem is that I´m calculating all the damage modifiers in the beginning of the function. So if there´s no serpent sting already running on the target it assumes an modifier of 1 (meaning no modifier really) for NS.
Now that´s fine for every shot but serpent sting itself. If I´m casting serpent sting it immediatly buffs itself with NS even though it wasn´t present at the time of the cast. On the other hand every reapplication of serpent sting while the sting is still running is already taking account for the buff via the above mentioned general modifier. In order to prevent NS from beeing applied twice the code explicitly excludes NS if the sting is already ticking at the time of the application.

Quote:

Also, no adjustments for T10 set bonuses, are you possibly planning an update soon? If not, I'll try to add it myself since I'll be getting the 2-piece bonus soon!

I´m working on an update right now but it´s kind of an extensive update including not just for the new set bonus but also some more fixes/updates to all shot calculations and an self check against values read in the combatlog.

That means if FS calculates that arcane shot should hit for 3k but repeatedly finds it hitting for 3,6k it assumes it´s missing some kind of buff and puts a generic 1,2 modifier in place for its future calculations. That should take care of buffs like the +100% damage at the Blood Queen for instance. Even though having buffs that increase all damage shouldn´t really be an issue anyway as relative values remain the same. This feature will also help me detecting future inconsistencies with shot calculations though.

Nevrah A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 12 Uploads: 0	I hope this mod isn't going to be abandoned. I prefer FS over FR for rotation mods. I absolutely love the rotating display. It helps me by giving some extra time to determine the changing shot rotation. I also hope this mod continue's to be updated once the xpac arrives. Thanks again for the wonderful mod.

pro_96 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Hey Midnight, I hope all is well I have three possibly valid points #1 FS will recommend another steady shot even if aimed shot comes off cooldown before the last steady I am currently firing is out. My latency is 80ms #2 Sometimes FS will stop recommending serpent sting be reapplied and it will continue to do so even when firing steady shots (a perfect time to reapply) This usually happens when for some reason I don't get serpent sting back on the target quick enough and Explosive shot comes up .. Black arrow ect. ..I fire explosive shot and it seems to ignore the serpent sting from there on until I reapply serpent sting. #3 http://elitistjerks.com/f74/t45219-h..._ons_mods/p15/ Alienangel's post #372 She made some good suggestions. Thank you very much for taking the time to help the hunter community. Last edited by pro_96 : 12-26-2009 at 09:05 PM.

Moruze A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	BM and Multishot Version: 0.7.12b I've been using this addon as a BM hunter. Regardless of the situation, it will suggest Multishot over Arcane and Steady Shot. Based on completely observational evidence, I don't think this is the correct suggestion. My Arcane Shots always do more damage than Multishot on single targets, and consume roughly half as much mana. Unless there are multiple targets, Multishot does not appear to provide a DPS advantage. I plan on speccing out of BM as soon as I get a new gun, so this isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to know what's causing this.

Crowfeather A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 34 Uploads: 1	It does take the 2T9 bonus into account and it ought to calculate every shots current damage precisely at every moment and propose the highest damaging one. That beeing said for one the highest damaging shot doesn´t necessarily need to be the best one in the long run and also it may still have some errors I haven´t figured out yet. So bottom line - don´t trust FS blindly. It´s supposed to be a help, it can´t replace experience as a raiding hunter.

So I have noticed that when I get certain procs or buffs (EX: Grim Toll) I am advised not to refresh serpent sting on my current target. Is faceshooter that good as to know that the time I delay firing serpent sting (also the time it will be ticking obviously) will be made up by some harder hitting aimed shot / steady shots? also taking two piece T9 into consideration Edit: I raid Survival Last edited by pro_96 : 10-14-2009 at 12:36 AM.

Re: Re: Consider GCD in the suggestion

That´s the way it already is (or should be) right now.

What you may have seen is shot A beeing the best shot right after the GCD but shot B got ready a mere 0.1s later and the display changed accordingly.

I have sit at a dummy and tried to find out what exactly I actually see :-)

Arranging cooldowns in a way that aimed is going to be the first available and spamming steady, steady keeps being suggested until the steady cast during which aimed became available completes and then the suggestion switches to aimed.
Single pressing steady during 1.5 sec until aimed ready correctly switches the suggestion to aimed immedialy when the steady cast starts. So does single presing arcane in that interval when I keep it ready instead of the steady.
I wasn't able to test spamming instants with the last one firing within the 1.5 sec until aimed and reliably read out results, so I cant say if the missed update of the suggestion is caused just by steady spamming or spamming in general.

Then I copied the code block from FS.events.PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED() to FS:OnUpdate(),
modified FS.data.startState to "spellCast" (leaving it at "reEvaluate" caused quite big delay in the suggestion switch) and retested the steady spam.
Now the aimed got suggested during the steady spell cast even when spamming, but there was steady suggestion spuriously blinking in until aimed cooldown finished, then it stayed stable at aimed.

If you tell me how to calculate the dps loss by waiting in a consistant way for every shot - be my guest.

As it is I don´t know how to do that short of simulating all possible permutations of shot sequences for the next minute or so (which is also something I might try to implement at some time).
Also lacking a dynamic way to calculate dps loss caused by waiting for a shot I already allow for a static 0.5s delay for the key shots Kill Shot, Explosive Shot and Chimera Shot even if lower priorized spells would already be ready. [/b]

I think that three or even two shots long sequence should be sufficient. I might be mistaken but I think there are rapid diminshing returns to the sequence length efficiency.

Crowfeather A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 34 Uploads: 1	v0.7.12b Finally found some time to implement at least some small fixes. I updated the serpent sting calculations so FS accounts for SerpS ability to crit with 2T9. I also included the the suggestion to turn off arcane shot recommendation completely and set a minimum TTL for before it recommends casting HM the way wurmfood suggested it. Mind you, I didn´t do much testing yet so it may be wise to keep the old version just in case. Last edited by Crowfeather : 10-05-2009 at 08:01 PM.

Re: Consider GCD in the suggestion

Originally posted by nutnut
Could you please make the addon to suggest the shot that will be the best when GCD is ready, but start suggesting it when the GCD is still cooling?

Now: for example just fired a shot, GCD is 1.5, remaining CD on aimed is 1.4, FS keeps suggesting steady for almost complete GCD duration except the last 0.1

What I would like:
1) simple approach: calculate what shots will be ready when GCD is ready and base the suggestion on that

That´s the way it already is (or should be) right now. Right after you use an shot (and thus start the GCD) FS calculates which ones will be available after the GCD, evaluates their damage and displays the one with the highest priority. Only after the GCD has run out (or you switched targets or something else out of the ordinary happens) it starts reevaluating again and displays diffrent shots if the priorities changed. What you may have seen is shot A beeing the best shot right after the GCD but shot B got ready a mere 0.1s later and the display changed accordingly.

Quote:

2) smart approach: consider also shots that will have less then one GCD left when current GCD completes, calculate dps lost by waiting for each and suggest the best of available and close-to-available, for ex. just fired a shot, GCD is 1.5, CD on kill is 1.6, start suggesting kill

If you tell me how to calculate the dps loss by waiting in a consistant way for every shot - be my guest.
