What would you want in a Raid worthy Warrior Combat Routine?

As the title asks...what would you want to see in a truly Raid worthy WARRIOR Combat Routine?

I've begun working on the initial setup of a Warrior CR.

Here is what I have so far:

• Initial Settings form working
• Hotkeys already set up:
  • toggle to turn on an "Auto" rotation - This rotation will do it's best to determine what skills to use and when
  • toggle to switch between using a "DPS" rotation and a "THREAT" rotation
  • toggle to switch between using a "SINGLE TARGET" rotation and an "AOE" rotation
• Overlay functionality:
  • Automatically opens when you start the bot
  • Automatically closes when you stop the bot
  • Visual indicators for exactly what rotation you are currently using(will automatically update upon use of hotkey)

This CR will support all cross class abilities and defensive cooldowns. I do NOT plan on supporting any kind of automatic movement since the main focus of this CR will be for Raiding using Combat Assist or MUD.

I'm looking for suggestions of things you think would be needed in order to use this within a raid. Please do not post asking for support for other classes as this will ONLY be for Warrior.

Also, I think things like hotkeys to use certain cooldowns would be useful, but I'd like to know which specific ones you would want or if it would be better to just use all of them?

Thanks!

how about one more hotkey for stun skill? sometime in raid warrior has to stun in particular moment.

 

I'd like to see support for rotations that are used while a button is held down, as well. I'm very much looking forward to your warrior CR!

 

Really want this

The enmity awareness stuff sounds nice, so I guess potion use.

 

Can you expand a little on what you would want to use while holding down a button that would be different from just toggling between the different rotations with hotkeys?

 

The DRK YRB routine allows me to just hold a button down to build enmity and let go when I want to return to the usual DPS rotation. It's probably just a preference thing but I prefer it over toggling between rotations with a button. An option to either use the rotation via key toggle or while key is pressed would be cool.

 

I'd probably want a tank swap toggle/hotkey, so It can switch straight to defiance and cast provoke straight away, followed by the rotation.

It would also be good to be able to toggle "Infuriate" on/off the rotation. Just to save it, so you can Inner Beast to save yourself from tank buster abilities.

Just out of curiosity, would it be possible for a feature such as the CR to read specific tank buster skills that are being casted by the enemy, so it can cast defensive abilities such as Thrill of battle, Vengeance and Infuriate>Inner Beast

 

That's a neat idea!

 

The only issue I see with that is say you want to do something like on A1S where you holmgang the first buster > CD second set > ..., I suppose you could just switch off the CR otherwise having the CR do it you're liable to get your CD's fucked. If this is added I'd advise having it as a toggle in the settings for on/off.

In a progression setting you really should be manually using your CD's, since the CR is doing the heavy lifting with the pretty simple rotation on WAR as it is you're not going to be doing much anyways, so popping your cd's can keep you awake during the snore fests.

 

Hotkey toggles for single target, aoe, defensive cooldown....PAUSE.... auto-interrupt or not.

 

Maybe a option to set when the Cr use Def CDs, at 50% or 40%

 

Any developments? I'm waiting with bated breath for this

 

Only development is that it's still being worked on. This CR won't be out for awhile. This post is just to get suggestions on what kinds of things the community would want in the CR. I've gotten some pretty good suggestions in here and I think most of them will make it into the final product, but this will be a slow moving project for me. My hobby development time is just still pretty short at the moment. Too much going on IRL!

 

Take your time, i'd suggest to not have the cr automaticly use brutal swing, since there are times you want to use it manually for stuns (a3s for example), also a toggle option for fracture use would be useful, since there are fights where you'll have to move away from a mob to pick up another, for those times fracture would actually be a consistent dps increase. other then that im looking forward to see what kind of cr you'll put together.

 

There should be an option to enable or disable the use of brutal in rotation, probably more fights that don't need a timed warrior stun than there are that do. Personally for things like A3 I just hotkey the CR off and do the mechanics and when they're over turn it back on.

 

I think the next level of a tanking CR would be the option to enter in tank busters for fights, and what CD's to use on them. This would be kinda hard due to situations in like AS1 where the first buster you'd holmgang, then the second you would use standard cd's, then third the HG. I suppose you could try a system where if the tank buster is being cast & holmgang is up, use holmgang, if not use CD's ABC etc.

Specifically on warrior you could add in inner beast spells the enemy will cast, or a toggle to just use on cd, otherwise using for unchained.

Generically an off-tank pure dps rotation, and a main tank that incorporates the above would be boners.

Would be a lot of work, but something that did DPS and had that level of fight customization would be hard to beat. At least when it comes to raiding, not sure what the target audience is of the CR. Sorry if any of this was previously posted.

 

Been a while since we've heard anything regarding this, are you still working at this Wheredidigo?

As other have suggest, add a toggle on/off for using brutal swing would be awesome, a toggle for storm's path combo aswell, since most of the time you want to focus on dps and storm's path combo is a dps loss, and with proper cd usage you barely gain anything from using the combo vs the time you gain per encounter by pushing higher dps.

 

Be awesome to have a working Warrior CR for dungeons with Crowd Control.

 

wonder when/if this will actually happen

 

Considering the fact that both the blackmage and ninja routines went pay model on another site, i wouldnt keep my hope up for this routine sadly.
