Warena - PVP Arms Warrior Combat Routine

*Update
This routine is still being developed inside of PureRotation:

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/combat-routines/all-one/115706-purerotation-v2.html

The routine is designed to work well for high rated arenas. Feel free to post ideas/thoughts in the thread and if I like them or they make sense I will try to get them implemented.

If you are interested in writing your own CR, Warrior is a good place to start. Feel free to download one of the older versions below and edit/tweak as you see fit. It might be easier than you think. You could also check out Apoc's Armed warrior routine. This is where I started.

You could also check out this post here. http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...-azs-guide-warrior-cr-development-theory.html

The attachments below are for archive purposes only. Everything is in Pure Rotation. You will need to set the option to Enable PVP rotation once Pure Rotation is installed.

 

HOTKEYS!!
There are hotkeys for Spell Reflect, Shield Wall, and Heroic Leap. Read the descriptions in the settings.

Interesting Features:
-The routine can change stances for you automatically. This is based how if you are getting targeted by 2 or more people. (I usually change stances manually)
-Will spell reflect CC if you are being targeted.
-Logic will automatically safeguard to remove roots. Will cast banners in some cases toward your current target if necessary.
-Heroic throw on ranged targets at low health.
-Thunderclap AOE logic based on units without Deep Wounds.
-Last Stand based on health.
-Die By The Sword based on health. (In case you forget).
-Good interrupting logic. will also pummel\charge focus targets for interrupts, this is new and I am still testing.
-Added support for Stampeding Shout (this is new and needs testing).
-Hamstring or Piercing Howl slows.

I also have some ideas I have not implemented yet. The list above is not exhaustive.

 

Intrest +tweeked

 

would love to test, but cant download the zip.. only a white page comes up

 

I think there are some site issues right now. I tried uploading a new version of this zip named differently but I am also just getting the white page.

*edit*
The download must be working for someone as I noticed today that I already have a 1 star rating. haha

 

I added a new download link that should work for a while.

 

I just stumbled upon this cc and i will check it out mate.
I got 1 question : does it use zerker rage randomly for dips ? If so, being a pvp cc it should have it on user's discretion.
Anyways i will check it out and tell u what i think tommorow

 

Nah man, every CD and CC is used by you. Probably one of the best PvP Warrior CC's I believe. It gets the job done, I will be using it till AB gets an update.

Edit: Might even use it after that even

 

What about for Arena?

 

Ya, it procs well. I think it's pretty smooth for him saying it's not performance based.

 

Double, sorry

 

I posted some updates in the second post that describe the behaviour of some of the spells. Work in progress...

 

Update @
Tried it on Duels today vs disc priest + warlocks mainly . I can say i am impressed.
I got a question , The CC checks for offensive spells towards u and Sreflects or Mass spell reflect automatically? I tried to read the code and replaced ur shield / 1hander with my shield/1hander.

Update 2 @
When feared by a lock the Zerker wasnt popp'ed automatically . is this working as intended?

Update 3@
Hamstring usage is excellente! I am wondering right now ther is an 'auto' heroic leap . Is there a way we can see the following behavior ( Charge ) being automated aswell?

 

Berserker Rage is explained in the 2nd post. It only pops when the warrior is rage starved for an execute or shattering throw. Otherwise it is manual as I like to decide whether or not I need to use it.

I will add Spell Reflect description in 2nd post soon but it only spell reflects certain spells and it only does it when the casting target has you targeted. So you if you are focused by the enemy casting the CC it will not cast.

I just bind charge normally. There is no benefit to having the CC do it for you as injecting a charge into the routine is not hard and there is not multiple steps to pull it off. Just press the button.

Heroic Leap isn't auto. It only casts when you press the hotkey.. in the attached routine it is set to C.

*edit*

Glad you like it.

 

Aye very impressed with it mate. I will try to check it in Arena's today and tell u .
To get this straight tho if a mage in arena is targeting me, and he starts casting polymorph for instance, will i get Shield-spell reflection up automatically ( using ofc my 1h/shield that i inject into the code -replacing yours- ) ?

 

Yes.

 

Checked it out today on arena , works as intented so far

Suggestion : Sometimes ( depending on combo ) you want CS , others you want BS. I propose a global variable at the start of code eg "preferredshout" that has 2 values ( 1 for CS , 2 For BS ) and thought the routine u use that variable instead of hard coding Spellcast"battle shout". That will allow for flexible adjustment and lighter code

Suggestion2 : If Heroic throw on CD, use Throw ( normal ) a super savior to keep a rogue in combat or a healer from drinking .

Suggestion3: The mocking banner casts down but no intervene is being performed ( as u say thats how u prefer it ) , is there a way to implement that but on grey comment lines for us loving that instant Free trinket Intervene ?

 

I had throw at one point and i even almost killed someone with it one time. They actually LOS me while I was rooted. The problem is he turbo casts it like a mad man and it looks really fishy. Additionally having your toon chain casting throw stops you from casting other more important spells. You can add Safeguard very easily to that CR if you want you should be able to figure it out by looking at how other stuff is done in teh routine.

 

work, im going to be looking at this as my main is a warrior. i may help you advance this as i was working on a modified singular version, but ill take a look at it. I may add gui and user settings to it to answer some of the needs like maxfx's so you can turn these things on and off based on preference. gj so far man.

 

Warena, u had a chunk of code for auto intervene on the banner if i am not mistaken?

Repeating my previous suggestion : Routine should not force BS all the time . There are times when u are without a priest for sta buff and makes more sense to use Commanding shout etc. There needs to be a flexible way like top of Warena cs a global variable to define the 'main' shout that will be used throught the combat.

Auto-swap back to 2h after reflect is done is a possibility?

@UPDATE : Today i did more arena with it. works very very good. I think it might does in a period of 5mins a better rotation that i do by hand
with really laser-precision ;D
