NextUp 1.2.4 for WoW 5.2 - Now with balance druid support
1.2.4 adds support for Balance druids. Check it out and let me know what you think.
1.2.3 brought updated priorities for all dps specs and especially the Rogue and Shaman specs was improved. NextUp now helps them manage damage cooldowns. For rogues it also helps pool up energy before certain abilities are used.
See the change log for more details.
As always, feel free to PM me any bug reports, questions or suggestions you might have.
Features
NextUp helps the player with in-combat decision making by showing the player three icons:
Priority icon
Shows the recommended ability to use next global cooldown for maximum DPS, based on:
- which abilities are on cooldown
- the player's current resources (Combo points, holy power, runes, mana, rage, energy, runic power etc.)
- buffs on the player
- debuffs and DOT:s on the target
The Priority icon ensures that the player gets maximum uptime on their buffs, debuffs and DOT:s.
NextUp's priority lists are not my own design. They are gathered from up to date guides on sites such as Simulationcraft.org, IcyVeins.com and ElitistJerks.com. I trust their thorough testing and theorycrafting to provide the best priorities for each spec.
Interrupt icon
Shows the player's interrupt skill if their target is casting an interruptable spell. The interrupt icon also shows other skills that are not on the global cooldown, such as a warriors Heroic Strike.
Reminder icon
Reminds the player of missing self buffs such as shaman's Lightning Shield or a druid's Mark of the Wild. The Reminder Icon is also used for some cooldown skills in combat. It does not show longer offensive cooldowns like Heroism or defensive cooldowns such as Survival Instincts though, as they might be needed for certain phases of boss encounters.
Combo point indicator
The combo point indicator is located below the priority icon and shows blue dots representing the players current amount of combo points, holy power or maelstrom weapon stacks.
Usage
Use "/nextup" or "/nu" to access the settings.
"/nextup toggle aoe" switches between the single target and the AoE priority lists. Macro this command to an actionbar button for maximum ease of use.
Currently supported specializations
Unholy Death Knight - For all DK multi target fights: Spreading diseases is not covered by NextUp.
Frost Death Knight
Blood Death Knight - NextUp does not (at least not yet) keep track of how much life every Death Strike will steal. Use your own judgment.
Balance Druid
Feral Druid
Guardian Druid - The Faerie Swarm talent has some dodgy behavior for all druids. Avoid if possible.
Assassination Rogue
Combat Rogue
Subtelty Rogue
Protection Paladin
Retribution Paladin
Elemental Shaman
Enhancement Shaman
NOTE:
This addon is in development and will be updated frequently. The latest version can always be found here on WoWinterface. The current version only supports a few specializations, but the goal is for NextUp to be usable by all damage dealing specs including tanks, so if your spec is not in the list, check back soon.
I don't have a max level character of every class, so I can't test all specializations myself. If you have a Hunter, Warlock, Monk or Warrior at max level and would like to help me beta test NextUp, send me a PM.

ok so here's some more constructive criticism for you
what this addon still fails to do is predict when some first priority spell will be off cooldown. i don't really mean procs, procs are always random and you always notice them, so its not hard to change your queued spell to the one that procced midcast. on the other hand there are situations when for example you're casting lighting bolt which has 2 sec cast time, and your lava burst cd has 2 seconds left, so when you finish casting your bolt your LvB cd is gonna be up. so while you casting you gotta queue that lava burst which is still on cd during the cast. the explanation is messy but i hope you've got what i mean. another thing which brigns even more complexity is shock management. the point is that 4/7 point earth shock is already higher damage than lightning bolt and it also gets rid of you're stacks and make sure you're not wasting any shield charges. sometimes, quite often you get into the situation that you have maxed your shield charges and you need to earth shock to use them, but you cant because there's like 6 seconds left on you fire shock. so you gotta refresh you fire shock first and while your shock is on the cd you'll most likely proc some more shield charges which will just go to waste. so there must be a lot of planning and its mainly what a lot of players fails to do, is to choose whether to shock early or to keep stacks. i'm quite sure that everything i described can be calculated but i understand how complex it is. but so far if i use your addon i do less dps than when i plan everything on my own. so there's really a lot of things to improve still thank you for your efforts anyway, and that would be wonderful if you keep going with its development! Ps. sorry for my english, i'm russian so its far from perfect :P

- Flame Shock is on the target, otherwise it shows the Flame Shock icon - Unleash Elements is on CD, if specced into Unleashed Fury - The player has Lava Burst in his spellbook - Lava Burst is not already being cast and finally, the most important one in this case: - Lava Burst CD is shorter than the global cooldown This does excactly what you said. If Lava Burst will be avavilable to cast the next time you can cast, it will show the icon even if Lava Burst is not yet off cooldown. So in your example it does what you want it to. It obviously cannot predict the procced Lava Bursts, but we already covered that. I've also now made a small tweak to show the higher priority icon if its CD is shorter than the cast time left on the spell currently being cast, instead of just shorter than the GCD.
I don't do any theorycrafting myself, but there are people who are very experienced with that sort of thing and can provide very accurate priority lists, taking into account things such as shock management. I trust the brilliant minds over at Icy Veins and Elitist Jerks to do that for me. NextUp uses the Early Earth Shocks method recommended on the Elitist Jerks forum. It recommends Earth Shock with less charges, to get Flame Shock off CD just in time to refresh it. The other alternative is to just let Flame Shock run out and refresh it as soon as possible. "The difference between the two methods is less than 0.5%", according to Elitist Jerks, but I still chose the better method since it was easy to implement in NextUp. When you say Earth Shock does more damage than Lightning Bolt at 4/7 charges, did you take into account that Lightning Bolt can be duplicated by your mastery and Earth Shock cannot? The Icy Veins guide recommends Earth Shock at 5 or more charges to avoid wasting them, Elitist Jerks even at 7/7. I'd be happy to change the priority if you can provide reliable math or testing that says 4/7 is better. It does seem a little bit as if you simply assumed I didn't read up on these things beforehand.

Hey! There is a issue with flameshock! "Flameshockup" is not checking WHO casted it.
EDIT: Here's fix for you (made by me!) LINE 30: if caster == "player" then local FlameShockUp,_,_,_,_,_,FlameShockExpirationTime = UnitDebuff("target", GetSpellInfo(8050)) end

Thanks for pointing that out. I just recently noticed this issue myself, while I was working on the Frost DK module. In NextUp's next version, code for DOTs and debuffs will be updated to check who casted them. I hope you enjoy NextUp!

Raise Dead
For my DK, in Blood spec, the first thing it is telling me to do is Raise Dead. Typically our ghoul is used as a cooldown for a self heal (in conjunction with Death Pact). So I'd suggest you remove this.

Hello, addon is working really good for my frost dk. Only CLC DK is showing right rotation but there is no Unholy Blight in it and ... project looks abandoned.
Fortunatelly I've found you mod But..., rotation starts from Pillar of Frost (as it should) even on trash - so is there any chance to make something like "show Pillar only for bosses" ? Icon with Pillar stays forever on normal mobs till I use all F/D runes ... and I don't wanna waste Pillar CD for trash mob. Sorry for my crap english but I hope You know what I mean P.S. ad warlock

-- Pillar of Frost if(GetSpellInfo(GetSpellInfo(51271)) and (PillarOfFrostCD == 0)) then _,_,PriorityIcon = GetSpellInfo(51271) -- Raise Dead elseif(GetSpellInfo(GetSpellInfo(46584)) and (RaiseDeadCD == 0)) then _,_,PriorityIcon = GetSpellInfo(46584) from PriorityIcon to ReminderIcon works like a charm |
