Shadowform and Vampiric Embrace bugs were fixed in latest release.

It should be telling you to clip your DoTs - that's how DoTs work now. Basically, as long as you refresh in the window between the last two ticks, you still get your full duration (and all your damage). So the goal is now 100% DoT uptime without overwriting early ticks in the duration. DP should come up just after the next-to-last tick. VT should come up 1 Global Cooldown before the next-to-last tick (because of cast time on the spell). That bit is working as intended.

EDIT: On further thought, I might be tweaking how this works a bit with a new slider option. Head back to the shadowpriest thread for the full details on that.

I have shadowform disabled and even during DPSing, it is telling me to cast shadowform even tho I already am in shadowform. It is also telling me to cast vampiric embrace even tho I have the buff already too. Its also telling me to recast VT and DP 3 or so seconds before they drop off.

thanks for looking into updating this!

For now, I'm using shadowpriest.com to have some folks take a look at my changes. Thread is here: http://shadowpriest.com/viewtopic.ph...=29549&start=0

Feel free to download, comment, etc. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Is there a place to download this update? I feel lost without facemelter

I am working on trying to update this to work on 4.0.1/Cata. Snagged it on Tuesday and started playing with it on a lark.

I took the current release version (3.333) and heavily modified it for the following:

• Removed references/support for Shadow Weaving
• DoT refresh is based on current DoT duration, rather than trying to track duration internally.
• Haste is now properly calculated multiplicatively, including support for haste from Darkness and Shadowform
• Cooldowns for Shadow Word: Death and Mind Blast are polled directly rather than tracked by an internal timer
• Mind Spike support added (although not allowed if DoTs are active on the target). This is still experimental, as Mind Spike isn't part of our normal rotation. Will be heavily modifying this piece moving forward.
• Larger base UI window with Mind Spike checkbox

Looking to add support for:

• Shadowfiend
• (Dark) Archangel
  - Including minimum (Dark) Evangelism stacks; possible minimum DoT duration to ensure you don't waste a good portion of your Archangel cast refreshing them.
• "Standard" Buffs: Shadowform, Vampiric Embrace, Inner Fire/Inner Will
• Minimum # of Shadow Orbs for Mind Blast cast

Wishlist of future features:

• Cast support (a la SmartBuff)
• More customization of options (separate priority lists for Execute phase, under Dark Archangel, etc.)

Additional to-do list (based on: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...26580975&sid=1) - In progress

• Clean up 'this' references - replaced by 'self' in new LUA standard for WoW addons
• Clean up 'getglobal' calls
• Polish visuals to ensure cooldown animations work properly

I can review whatever anyone else has done to polish this up, but this one is working just fine for me, and I'm more than willing to share.

Any updates? loved this addon, havent played my priest since it stopped working, lol. Keep up the great work!

Facemelter is broken with the new patch. Not sure what it is because i dont do LUA code :S but the icons are all there, its just whenever i cast say VT the icon doesn't switch over to the next spell that should be cast.

I noticed the timings were out with VT, and DP. It seemed less of an issue the higher the haste so I had a look at the coding. I don't know anything about programming or scripting but just looked for what made sense. I started by check out your haste calculations compared to what I could find on the internet and it seemed to match what I found there so that probably wasn't the issue. Eventually I found the following lines of code.

FaceMelter.vamptouchDuration = (vamptouchDuration - vamptouchCastTimer) - GCD
FaceMelter.devouringDuration = (devouringDuration/FaceMelter.hasteModifier) - GCD

First line you are telling it to take the GCD off the duration? But you've already told it to take the cast time off, so now it's reducing the duration by the cast time, and GCD so twice as much as it needs to.

Second line your also telling it to take the GCD time off the duration but DP is an instant cast spell and GDC does not effect the duration.

I changed the code to what is below which has removed the GCD from the duration equation of those two spells and tested it on the dummies and it seems to be working perfectly. I have not tested this under BL yet, but I'm hoping it's fixed.

FaceMelter.vamptouchDuration = (vamptouchDuration - vamptouchCastTimer)
FaceMelter.devouringDuration = (devouringDuration/FaceMelter.hasteModifier)

Update 1: VT and DP timings seem to be correct now prior to Blood Lust. VT seems to work fine under Blood Lust, but DP seems to be coming up a couple of seconds after the dot has dropped off the target. Will try and get some more testing done...unfortunately only tested during a Heroic so boss didn't last long enough to get several durations going.

Update 2: Did some testing with a Shaman on the dummies and VT is perfect now as far as I can tell. DP is definitely dropping off the target a MF or 2 before FM is suggesting to cast again during Blood Lust but works perfectly without it. I thought it might have been an issue with the priority and the way it was called through GCD times because at least once is suggested pushed DP back up the que and suggested MF over DP even though DP was a higher priority (only did this under bloodlust) so I tried increasing it to 2, and VT to 1 but it still suggested casting DP a couple of seconds after it dropped off.

Abbreviated error message for v 3.333:

FaceMelter.lua:181 table index is nil

Presumably my new target while mind controlled is not found in 'npcList'.
