ZOMGBuffs

1 - Potential issue with Zomgbuffs

Zomgbuffs has the following two things listed as features in it's description:

Generated buff assignments will try to:
    1. Allocate Might and Wisdom to paladins with improved versions.
    2. Assign the same buff to a paladin where possible, for clarity when viewing the manager and when people ask "Who's doing XXX".

I'm finding that it often doesn't get the first option right. Now, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if it's because it rather chose number two in stead of number 1. However, I'd like to know if there is a way to change this? Is there a way for zomgbuffs to make number one it's preference, in stead of number 2?

Alternatively, if this is a bug, what type of information would you need from me to try and resolve this issue? I'm finding it in almost every raid I land up in. We typically have two healers (both with kings and improved wisdom), one tank (with kings and sanctuary) and one ret pally (with improved might). Some times we will have a second tank (again, with kings and sanctuary) in there. The improved wisdom is almost always given to the tank to buff and might is given to one of the healers, with the ret pally buffing light or salvation mostly. Most often, the problem is not with priest or shamans or druids, but rather with pallies themselves.

Our preferred buffs are:
Tank - Kings, Light, Sanctuary, Wisdom, Might
Healer - Kings, Wisdom, Light, Salvation
Ret - Salvation, Kings, Might, Wisdom, Light

This is in order of importance.

Please let me know if you need any other information from me?

Thanks for a great mod. Our whole guild is required to have this mod and it's made our lives 100 times easier with the pally buffs! Keep up the good work!

    That's a bug in the code that Zeksie knows already about, it happens when you have a situation where the following would be ideal for min maxing, for example:

    Having one paladin buff the paladins with BoS. Having the ret paladin buff himself with Imp. BoM. Having the paladin that buffs BoL buff single BoS on the ret paladin.

    ZOMGBuffs does not resolve this correct and goes for a worse setup.

    This is a basic limitation of the current sorting algorithm and fixing it much needs a complete rewrite of that part of ZOMGBuffs.
