Gutted that this is no longer really supported regularly :<. Particularly with the 4.0.1 changes a lot of classes are now heavily priority queue based.

I've used ShockandAwe on my Enhancement shaman for some time now, and have found it invaluable. Switching back to play my mage, and I'm finding that Frost spec would benefit greatly from something like this.

Having it set up like ShockandAwe (I.e. a list of drop down menus with all your classes abilities) would be absolutely perfect.

Any chance that a 4.0.1 release could happen? I'm willing to help with collecting priority lists

Hi Pericles, I'm a script noob who's been using ShockAndAwe for a while on my EnhShaman. My 9 year old son was having some difficulty learning his new priorities for his DK and his hunter. I have just gone in and modified it to get the DK working and managed that for the most part. Only thing I'm struggling with is "Dark Transformation"

If you have no plans to further this project, I'd really like to talk to you and get some assistance and potentially begin to put some input into the addon itself.

Contact me on s dot haszard (at) gmail.com

Thanks!

I've discovered that a mod called Ovale exists that should allow the level of customisation I was looking for (provided I'm willing to learn a little scripting language): http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/ovale.aspx

As suggested by others this mod if working properly has Amazing potential. I'd love to see it integrated into Power Aura's and the ability to make priority decision for a DK based on spell availability, Runic Power Level, Current Health%, Debuff state i.e. for a Blood spec DK:
Ice Bound Fortitude (If my Health < 25%)
Vampiric Blood (If my Health < 25%)
Death Strike (If my health < 75% & 2 Diseases)
Rune Tap (If my Health < 75%)
Horn of Winter (if duration < 5s)
Rune Strike (RP > 40)
Dancing Weapon (RP > 80)
Death Coil (RP > 60)
Icey Touch (If no Frost Fever)
Plague Strike (If no Blood Plague)
Hysteria (If Boss Fight)
Heart Strike (If 2 Disease)
Obliterate (If 2 disease with < 3 seconds)
Blood Tap (if health > 25%)
Heart Strike
Obliterate

For a frost DK prioritisation based on Killing Machine and Rime procs would be needed.

I'm a huge fan of the Author's Shock and Awe mod and am currently utilising it on my main char. Recently started playing a DK alt and have been looking for something with a similar spell priority system as SAA.

The major changes I'd like to see is in priority spell selection to be able to set a Spell, and then attach conditions to it such as: My current Health, My Runic Power Level, Debuffs on target including duration, buffs on me including duration.

Is it possible to add a priority queue so we can see what is coming next, similar to http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/clcret.aspx so we can see the next spell available off cool down.

Testing on my frost dk the priority frame seems to update too slowly (maybe because there is no queue) as i want to start spamming the next button asap, which is only a gcd so that when i cast a spell i am already spamming the next one but the frame is still blank.

Hopefully you make these changes so i can use this for my enhance shammy as shock and awe doesn't have this either and doesn't seem to be update anymore. (the combo counter doesn't seem to be working for maelstrom too but this isn't important).

will this addon work for the deDE Client too? if not let me know wich files need a translation, i will do it :)

I recommend you take a loot at Watcher also.

Since the developer seems to have vanished, your addon might become its replacment, and it certainly has a lot of nice config options.

Hiya, Have not downloaded the addon, so have no clue as to how it works. I just found this addon (a few minutes ago) while looking for a replacement for my fav addon: "watcher" from Gelin (shotandawe and others). Gelin have not been seen for more than a year and although his addons work tremendously well still. Cataclysm is nearing and I fear I have become dependant on "watcher" (priority cast management) and most likely watcher will not survive cataclysm... I was rdy to set myself the task to learn the code and work with the addon, but first, check if others are working on similar things!

Anyway, that addon rocks (for rangers at least, any spec). It has autoshot ticks, informs you when to change to viper and back to dragonhawk (configurable), handles explosive shot under "lock and load" and do all sort of other nice things for chymera shot. And it is totally configurable. I have it set for my DK too and it work like a charm with rune cooldowns and rune power and it even prioritise casts according to deceases on target. Its wonderful, (aside for a small bug that hides the icons for my DK until I hit my first priority cast, then the icons appear and everything is great).

You guys are working on something like this? have you had a look at "Watcher" from Gelin? It sounds as if in this addon the priority cast is done for you, in watcher, you set your own priorities and the addon just display them to you in an optimised manner. (just from reading description and posts, have not downloaded the addon yet).

It would be helpful to see if a Spell has conditions to its use implemented or not.
Or a function to implement conditions myself.
Something easy like :
Priority-Spell 1: Spell A
Use if Buff is active: Buff
Power Auras has a nice function to find Spells, Proccs and Buffs for themself as long as you enter at least a part of it's name.
(Just a thought but im no programmer)

To help some more my actual Warlock Demonology Priority List:
Just like Simcraft spit it out:

1.Lifetap Buff (if the LT Glyph is used)
2.Metamorphosis ( but I wouldnt put this one into a priority list)
3.Immolation Aura
4.Corruption (use Glyph of quick decay for support)
5.Curse of Doom (CoD if there is an Unholy DK or an Owl in the Raid, otherwise CoElements)
6.Immolate
7.Soulfire (if Decimation is active)
8.Incinerate (if Molten Core has procced)
9.Shadow Bold
10. Lifetap ( if Mana is <20% or moving)

@Surge - Concerning the MM rotation: - Rapid Fire' use should be manually determined as it will depend on whether one wants to use it for mana regen or to maximise DPS at a key point in a fight. The former could be calculated by an addon whereas the later cannot. - Arcane Shot should not feature in a MM hunter's rotation as it doesn't benefit from ArP and therefore results in a DPS loss for its mana cost. It's only used is as gap filler when moving and other instants are on cooldown. - Aimed Shot should be prioritised over Readiness so that when Readiness is triggered Aimed Shot's cooldown is reset as well. - Readiness' use should also be manually determined for maximum efficiency.

Apologies for the small topic derail ;)

started using this last week, seems like it will be a great replacement for a bunch of other addons. A few suggestions/requests:

Planewalker's suggestion to look ahead to the next 2 priorities.

On my warrior its recommending Mortal Strike when there isn't enough rage to cast it.

Say, would it be possible to expand the addon to feature a look ahead?
Like showing the next two top priorities with a timer on the symbol?

After looking at the code this means that the addon would need to know what states the currently suggested action will change in order to calculate one further action.

Dear author, could you please add an option to set the size of the icon? It's too small for me.

Ive done some tweaks to PriorityQueue locally to make things like the Maelstrom counter work again. (And it shows Rogue combo points, and DK Disease counts (up to the 5)) And a system to make it work for non-max rank spells. (You provide the spell name, and max rank spell ID. If it finds the ID, it uses the ID. if not, it uses the highest rank of the provided name).

Is there any way for me to upload it, or send it to you?

Something that might help you in the long run might be to set up the interface to allow players to set up their own rotations instead of making you have to constantly update to add new rotations.

For example, you have a series of 9 text boxes, players enter them in and can enter a number next to it to give it's priority. They can select what type of spell it is so for DoT's or debuffs it will only show if it is about to fall off, or if it's a FCFS spell rotation it's just based on cool downs, and can select if it's buff dependent and if so they can enter the buff to monitor and select the new priority based on the buff.

I'm no programmer but I could see this being difficult to code initially but if you set up a template of variables that players can plug in spells and priorities for you, it might save you having to constantly update for build and spec changes.

I hope this helps.

Seems like posts have been lacking lately.
Well this is for Shadow Priests.

name, spell/ability, condition

Priority 1: VT, Vampiric Touch, if debuff cooldown is < 2 seconds recast.
Priority 2: DP, Devouring Plague, if off debuff cooldown, cast Devouring Plague.
Priority 3: SWP, Shadow Word: Pain, only notify if not currently on target.
Priority 4: MB, Mind Blast, if cast cooldown is < 2 seconds recast.
Priority 5: VE, Vampiric Embrace, only notify if not currently on target.
Priority 6: MF, Mind Flay, if SWP is on target and range <= 24 yds, cast Mind Flay.
Priority 7: SWD, Shadow Word: Death, only if VE debuff on target.

Hope this helps. Can't wait to see what this can do.
