This project started as an update to Feral By Night. I have been using that addon for quite a while and really liked certain aspects. In refactoring and updating the code for Cataclysm, I ended up deciding to start from scratch and build a similar addon, without the cruft that I don't use and with a focus on performance and maintainability.
Features
- Super Low cpu utilization
- Shared buff/debff frame which displays the status of Berserk, Survival Instincts, Barkskin, Faerie Fire and Skull Bash
- Cat Frame which displays Mangle( and Hemorhage/trauma), Rake, Rip (including glyph of shred support) on the current target as well as Savage Roar and Tiger's Fury. The timers on Rake and Rip disappear after the last tick, and go transparent when the debuff actually falls off.
- Bear Frame which displays Mangle (including Berserk Proc), Pulverize(if talented), Lacerate, Maul, Swipe, Demoralizing Roar, Growl and Enrage
- Frames can be moved and disabled out of combat and per spec
- Suggester Frame which shows the best* action to take, with projected future actions. If the current action is a combo point generating move, the top right icon will be the next action on a non-crit, and the bottom right will be the next action on a crit. If the current action is not a cp generating move, then the bottom will be the next action 1 GCD after the top action
Suggester
Cat
The suggester frame is using a modified version of the
Mew default script. There are probably some unintentional changes fromt eh mew script along with the intentional ones:
- Latency is taken in to account in some places, but the support is a work in progress.
- Feral charge is suggested if you are at max energy and feral charge is useable.
- The window to use Ravage after a charge is larger
- Savage Roar suggestion does take in to account combo points on dead enemies.
- Any time Tiger's Fury is available and you don't have enough energy for the suggested move, it will suggest Tiger's Fury instead.
The suggester still needs some work and it seems to suggest shred when it would be clearly better to pool your energy in some situations.
Bear
The bear suggester is pretty basic right now. The priority is FFF>Mangle>Swipe>Laceratex3>Pulverize>Demoralizing Roar>Burn rage on lacerate.
- Pulverize is only suggested if talented.
- Growl will be suggested if you are not tanking your target.
- Demoralizing Roar is only suggested for boss targets and targets 3 or more levels higher than you
- Berserk proc is supported
