Vengeance module

[zork]

Has anyone tried to do a Vengeance module for patch 5.0.4?

Vengeance is not capped anymore. Thus I don't know what to do with the Vengance statusbar since it's always max...how do you handle that?

This is my current dry-code:

local class = select(2, UnitClass("player"))
if class ~= "WARRIOR" and class ~= "DRUID" and class ~= "PALADIN" and class ~= "DEATHKNIGHT" and class ~= "MONK" then
  return
end
 
local parent, ns = ...
local oUF = ns.oUF or oUF
if not oUF then return end
 
local _
local vengeance = (GetSpellInfo(84839))
 
local numFormat = function(v)
  if v > 1E10 then
    return (floor(v/1E9)).."b"
  elseif v > 1E9 then
    return (floor((v/1E9)*10)/10).."b"
  elseif v > 1E7 then
    return (floor(v/1E6)).."m"
  elseif v > 1E6 then
    return (floor((v/1E6)*10)/10).."m"
  elseif v > 1E4 then
    return (floor(v/1E3)).."k"
  elseif v > 1E3 then
    return (floor((v/1E3)*10)/10).."k"
  else
    return v
  end
end
 
local Update = function(self, event, unit)
  if(self.unit ~= unit) then return end
  local element = self.Vengeance
  local bar = self.VengeancePowerBar
  if not bar:IsShown() then return end
  local _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, val1 = UnitBuff(unit, vengeance, nil)
 
  local stat, _, posBuff, _ = UnitStat("player", 3)
  local basehealth = UnitHealthMax("player")-(posBuff*UnitHPPerStamina("player"))
  local max = basehealth/10 + stat
 
  element:SetMinMaxValues(0, math.max(val1,max))
  element:SetValue(val1)
  if element.text then
    if element.text.Override then
      element.text:TextOverride(val1)
    else
      element.text:SetText(numFormat(val1))
    end
  end
end
 
local Visibility = function(self, event, unit)
  local element = self.Vengeance
  local bar = self.VengeancePowerBar
  if UnitHasVehicleUI("player")
    or ((HasVehicleActionBar() and UnitVehicleSkin("player") and UnitVehicleSkin("player") ~= "")
    or (HasOverrideActionBar() and GetOverrideBarSkin() and GetOverrideBarSkin() ~= ""))
  then
    bar:Hide()
  elseif(class == "WARRIOR" and GetSpecialization() == 2) then
    bar:Show()
    element.ForceUpdate(element)
  elseif(class == "PALADIN" and GetSpecialization() == 1) then
    bar:Show()
    element.ForceUpdate(element)
  elseif(class == "DEATHKNIGHT" and GetSpecialization() == 1) then
    bar:Show()
    element.ForceUpdate(element)
  elseif(class == "DRUID" and GetSpecialization() == 1) then
    bar:Show()
    element.ForceUpdate(element)
  elseif(class == "MONK" and GetSpecialization() == 1) then
    bar:Show()
    element.ForceUpdate(element)
  else
    bar:Hide()
  end
end
 
 
local Path = function(self, ...)
  return (self.Vengeance.Override or Update) (self, ...)
end
 
local ForceUpdate = function(element)
  return Path(element.__owner, 'ForceUpdate', element.__owner.unit)
end
 
local Enable = function(self, unit)
  local element = self.Vengeance
  if(element and unit == "player") then
    element.__owner = self
    element.ForceUpdate = ForceUpdate
 
    self:RegisterEvent('UNIT_ATTACK_POWER', Path, true)
    self:RegisterEvent('PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE', Visibility, true)
    self:RegisterEvent("SPELLS_CHANGED", Visibility, true)
    self:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_OVERRIDE_ACTIONBAR", Visibility, true)
 
    local helper = CreateFrame("Frame") --this is needed...adding player_login to the visivility events doesn't do anything
    helper:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
    helper:SetScript("OnEvent", function() Visibility(self) end)
 
    return true
  end
end
 
local Disable = function(self)
  local element = self.Vengeance
  if(element) then
    self:UnregisterEvent('UNIT_ATTACK_POWER', Path)
    self:UnregisterEvent('PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE', Visibility)
    self:UnregisterEvent('SPELLS_CHANGED', Visibility)
    self:UnregisterEvent('UPDATE_OVERRIDE_ACTIONBAR', Visibility)
  end
end
 
oUF:AddElement('Vengeance', Path, Enable, Disable)

There are videos of Chimaeron where tanks do 300-400k dps because of such an incredible high amount of Vengeance.

You probably could take a look at http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nceStatus.html

Do your play style change depending on vengeance? Different priorities or something?

Yeah I checked that. He is basically doing the same...once the "old" max values get boosted of the charts he just uses whatever maxvalue the buff value delivers.

The vengeance formula that calculates the max value out of the health is pretty wierd though.
