Ripped
What is Ripped?
Ripped is a tool that assists players with obtaining and keeping a optimal DPS cycle (or spell rotation / spell cycle / spell priority).
This comes in handy, even for experienced players in stressful situations or where keeping an overview would be hard (noticing that your important debuff has run out, or reapplying a debuff/buff too early etc).
How do I use Ripped?
After loading the plugin, use the command
/rip gui
to open up the configuration menu to set the active strategy (look under the heading Generation and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Dont forget to check under "Strategies" if you are looking to configure your selected strategy. Options usually include changing priorities and what buffs you want to be reminded to keep up on yourself.
Known issues
PLEASE report any issues you have with the addon in the comment section or email me, as I require your feedback in order to enhance the strategies/addon.
No abilities are suggested
Did you remember to set a strategy in the gui? (see above for how)
No abilities are suggested, and I've set a strategy
Some people have reported no spells/abilities showing up in the gui on slower (or too fast?) pcs. The solution has been to type /script ReloadUI() or try to press the "Load spells" and/or "Load talents"-buttons in the main gui.
UI lag when using Ripped
This usually is because you've set it to generate 20 steps, which might cause it to generate states upwards of 2-5 minutes in the future, which of course will take time. Set the "Generation"->"Generate steps" down to about 5-6 or so (or why even use more than 2-3?) and it should disappear. Also remember that "Max number of steps each update" does a great job even at 1.
Which classes can benefit from using Ripped?
Currently, it ships with built-in strategies for the following classes:
- Druid (feral (cat and singletarget bear beta), moonkin)
- Mage (fire, frost (beta))
- Paladin (retribution, holy (beta))
- Priest (shadow)
- Rogue (combat swords beta)
- Shaman (enhancement)
- Warlock (destruction, affliction)
- Warrior (fury (beta))
Some of the strategies needs improvement, so please use the bugtracker/submit comments etc to assist me in getting the strategies down
For the rest of the classes and specs: support for you will be coming soon, and suggestions are welcome
I don't like your strategies and/or I have my own idea for what's _best_
The addon has been designed to be both flexible and extensible and supports any number of strategies supporting any number of classes and specs that can be written in the form of plugins. More details on this is available upon request and will be properly documented once we get closer to a stable release.
FAQ
I dont understand the syntax of the "watched buffs". Explain.
You can change the buffs being watched by opening up the config gui (using /rip gui) then going looking at Strategies->"Your active strategy". There you'll find a field called "Watched buffs", which supports the following syntax: "Buff1, Buff2, Buff3 | Altbuff4, Buff5". This will make sure you have the buffs Buff1, Buff2 and Buff5 up, and either one or both of Buff3 or Altbuff4.
TODOS
- Better/more strategies for druids, mages and rogues.
- Optional integration with DrDamage to support warriors/bear form druids better (is this needed? need community feedback).
- Support for hunters (and down the line, deathknights of course)
- <Your request here!>
I like your idea, how can I help you?
Submit feature requests / bugs. Tell your friends about it. If you know Lua, you can help me improve it in a number of ways, just get in touch with me
Ok, how do I get in touch with you?

 ).After you sent me your translation, I released a version that used it, but it got me thinking: "isn't it possible to avoid having to make people create the translations, but rather just look up spell names dynamically?". Which it actually is, so I rewrote the spells-part of the addon using a more dynamic approach to it, which I thought would work. However, two people have now contacted me saying they can't get it to work with their client (french and german). So now I'm downloading the german language pack (since I've had some courses in german at school back in the days) so I can test it myself That means that there hopefully will be a release today (or tomorrow) that works for our international friends |

yes you're true it's good with "/rip gui" and not "/ripped gui" but your files on 18beta are empty for traduction (error ?) i think you're just used your test files !!! I replace my proper trad but on the first version (beta 9 for me) of my files the add-on validated the talents/spells but on 18beta no spells are recognized so the add doesn't seems to be in function (french version) |

The feeling "it still eems like it's missing a few things" I think more people than you are sitting with, but the more feedback I get, the better I can make the addon, so your feedback is greatly appreciated. As for the enhancement shaman strat works its like this (in addition to tracking totems/weaponbuffs):
The numbers you see is the (estimated) number of seconds until the spell/ability should be used. Some of the screenshots are from an earlier build where the numbers actually was the time it would take until the _next_ spell should be used, which was kind of non-intuitive, so it was changed to show the time until the ability should be used instead. I hope that explanation helps EDIT: Immolate is now supported for warlocks, just go into the config gui (/rip gui) -> strategies -> default warlock, and check the box called "Use Immolate".
