About Bitten's SpellFlash: Monk

This module flashes suggested spells for all three Monk specs. You can find *lots* more information on its website.

If you download using the Curse Client it will come with everything you need. If you download your addons manually, you must also get SpellFlash.

Please see the FAQ before posting a question. If that doesn't address your issue, or you have a suggestion to improve this addon, please either leave a comment or create a ticket.

Bitten's SpellFlash modules replace Blizzard's default proc highlighting to flash the button you should press next to achieve maximum dps on a boss fight. Or if you are a tank, to maximize your survivability. For healers, they are just slightly smarter proc highlighters. Dps modules follow or are similar to priority schemes found in SimulationCraft, Icy Veins, and/or Elitist Jerks. Sometimes you have to be smarter than SpellFlash, e.g. when saving a cooldown for a specific boss mechanic, but in general following the recommendations will improve most people's performance.

The descriptions of each rotation moved to the website for Bitten's SpellFlash.

Version 3.3.1

  • Windwalker: Bugfix - Zen Sphere was broken, and causing spam in the chat pane.
  • Windwalker: Fists of Fury is now always considered optional, in case you know you will have to move soon.

Version 3.3.0

  • Brewmaster: Added a solo rotation.
  • Brewmaster: Flashing for Chi Burst is less quirky.
  • Windwalker: Adjusted the way Storm, Earth and Fire works. It now only flashes w/ the AoE rotation, except that it now flashes red if you are targeting the same as one of your images, in which case it flashes red.
  • Windwalker: Added flashing for Chi Burst.

Version 3.2.5

  • Brewmaster: Don't flash other mitigation buffs when Ring of Peace is up.
  • Brewmaster: Many abilities that depended on your health now account for incoming heals.
  • Brewmaster: Don't flash other mitigation buffs when Staggering is up (from 2pT15).
  • Brewmaster: Account for Purifier (the buff from 4pT15).
  • Mistweaver: Bugfix - Touch of Death was flashing even when on cooldown.
  • Windwalker: Added Storm, Earth, and Fire.
  • Windwalker: Now consider the Tigereye Brew cap to be 19 if wearing 4pT15 (to avoid wasting the possible extra proc).

Version 3.2.4

  • Brewmaster: Added flashing for Black Ox Statue.
  • Mistweaver: Added flashing for Jade Serpent Statue.
  • Mistweaver: Mana Tea now flashes whenever it will not cap your mana if you have the glyph.

Version 3.2.3

  • Windwalker: Added flashing for Legacy of the White Tiger.

Version 3.2.2

  • Mistweaver: Bugfix for a Lua error.

Version 3.2.1

NOTE: This version includes a new version of Bitten's SpellFlash Library that I tried to test well, but if you find any issues please let me know right away.

Version 3.2.0

  • Brewmaster: Elusive Brew now flashes a normal yellow color even at 10 stacks (was red).
  • Mistweaver: Bugfix - Expel Harm was flashing even if it was on cooldown.
  • Mistweaver and Brewmaster: Expel Harm is now used when you are under 80% health (was 85 or 90, depending on spec).
  • Windwalker: Added level 30 talents (because they changed w/ 5.2).
  • Windwalker: Removed Rushing Jade Wind from the single target rotation (Blackout Kick is better dps).
  • Windwalker: Added an option to synchronize Tigereye Brew with a mastery proc. See the website for more info (especially if you have the Rune of Re-Origination).
  • Windwalker: Fists of Fury now flashes small and yellow if Energizing Brew is off cooldown, to make you less tempted to press them both at the same time.

Version 3.1.1

  • Windwalker: Bugfix - one of the Blackout Kick conditions was wrong.

Version 3.1.0

NOTE: Your options will be reset when you upgrade to this version.

  • Repackaging so that Bitten's SpellFlash Library is included with the addon, instead of downloaded separately.
  • Several other internal changes.
  • Brewmaster: Added Rushing Jade Wind to the AoE rotation.
  • Brewmaster: Now holds brews until you are under 85% health if you have Healing Elixirs (a change for 5.2).
  • Brewmaster: Now holds Fortifying Brew until you are under 80% health (was 90%).
  • Brewmaster: Removed logic from level 30 talents that had to do with their Chi cost (because they no longer cost Chi in 5.2).
  • Mistweaver: Updated melee rotation for 5.2.
  • Mistweaver: Added an option for only flashing the melee rotation above a certain % mana (default 50%).
  • Mistweaver: Now detects and adjusts for Glyph of Uplift.
  • Windwalker: Updated the rotation for 5.2.

Version 3.0.0

  • Brewmaster: Now prioritized Keg Smash above Jab or Spinning Crane Kick to generate Chi.
  • Brewmaster/Windwalker: Spinning Crane Kick can now flash while it is casting, though the timings are not always perfect (in AoE modes).
  • Mistweaver: Added flashing for Mistweaver.

Version 2.6.0

  • Brewmaster: No longer flashes mitigation cooldowns when Diffuse Magic is up.
  • Brewmaster: Flash Elusive Brew with higher priority when its stacks are getting high.
  • Brewmaster: Hold Elusive Brew and Purifying Brew when above 90% health and Healing Elixirs is up.
  • Brewmaster: Hold Fortifying Brew when above 90% health.
  • Windwalker: No longer flashes Fists of Fury if you are moving.

Version 2.5.2

  • Oops! I didn't release that last version correctly. NOW it should have the fix.
  • Brewmaster: Bugfix - Guard was still waiting for 3 stacks of Power Guard, even though it only stacks to 1 (since it changed in 5.1.0).

Version 2.5.1

  • Brewmaster: Bugfix - Guard was still waiting for 3 stacks of Power Guard, even though it only stacks to 1 (since it changed in 5.1.0).

Version 2.5.0

  • Windwalker: Update Tiger Palm to only try stacking Tiger Power to 1 (since it changed in 5.1.0).
  • Windwalker: Update Fists of Fury so it will work w/ 5.1.0.
  • All: Updated the internals of Power Strikes to match the change in 5.1.0.
  • All: Updated to the new way Blizzard gave to detect the amount of a player has Chi.

Version 2.4.1

  • Brewmaster: Bugfix - Tiger Palm wasn't flashing when you had 0 Chi (even though it's free).
  • Windwalker: Made Tigereye Brew and Energizing Brew flash yellow and continue to the next priority, like a cooldown should.

Version 2.4.0

  • Taking out of beta (see changes for version 2.3.0).
  • Brewmaster: Added Chi Wave / Zen Sphere / Chi Burst.

Version 2.3.1 beta

  • Windwalker: Bugfix - fixed a Lua error or two.

Version 2.3.0 beta

  • Brewmaster: Tries to be a little friendlier to leveling tanks (no promises).

  • Windwalker: Added Chi Brew.

Version 2.2.1

  • Brewmaster: Fortifying Brew now flashes yellow like it should.

Version 2.2.0

  • Brewmaster: Added Dampen Harm to the cooldown rotation.
  • Brewmaster: Guard now only flashes if you have at least 4 energy, so it never interferes with using Blackout Kick to refresh Shuffle.

Version 2.1.0

  • Brewmaster: Added Provoke.
  • All: Anticipates resources consumed by queued spells.

  • Initial Release

    Would it be possible to set A shuffle buff minimum time? What I mean is BoK flashes till the suffle buff is like 20 sec, then flash TP or something else?

    Sometimes I get stunned, knocked down, etc. and am unable to BoK before the suffle buff fades if I follow the spell flash. Haveing it set so low is really bad for how imprortant the shuffle buff is. It'd be really good if I could set a "buffer zone." That way I won't have to worry about it fadeing till I can BoK again, due to various encounter mechanics.

    I updated the add-on earlier today and I keep receiving the No spell defined (or no ID attribute): nil. Any solutions for this? Thanks in advance

  • #63

    Update again.  :D

    Heya, I updated all your addons this evening and rcvd this error while running a 5-man dungeon a few minutes ago.  I was in Mistweaver spec at the time.

    <Lua error snipped by Bitten to avoid clutter.>

    Thank you for the report.  It should be fixed now.

    Love the addon as it's been remarkably helpful but I have a quick question. Is it possible to modify Spellflash or install an additional component that will allow me to specify that the icons flash in the middle of my screen? I typically hide my hot bar to improve screen real estate and other various reasons so it'd be nice to tie the next ability in line to a presentable icon mid-screen. Thanks!

  • #57

    Well - yes - it is possible ... but nobody has created it.  Other rotation helper addons use an icon like that instead of flashing the buttons, but I have not used any of them so I cannot be any more specific than that.

    You are not the first person to ask for something like that.  Maybe some day I'll take that on as a little project - but I have plenty of other projects right now.

    Question, I noticed there is an aoe rotation mentioned in the description for the monk spell flash addon. I was wondering if you could update the description to include what the priority is for the rotation (like you wrote for the single target rotation). I am mainly wondering if it maintains the debuff from dizzying haze and the dot from breath of fire while missing in single target abilities as lower priority. Thanks!

  • #56

    Wow - this comment is a month old!  Sorry for the delay.  I vaguely remember reading it before, but apparently it got lost in my inbox.  As I transition the detailed rotation descriptions to a new website, I'll be sure to expand on the AoE rotation for Monks.

    To answer your question, it does maintain Dizzying Haze, but it does not flash Breath of Fire, instead using Spinning Crane Kick because it generates Chi.

    <Edit:> The AoE descriptions are now available here.

    Great addon, has really helped me learn the Windwalker rotation.

    One question I have, does it support the Ascension talent that adds the one extra Chi? It seems like at times it's telling me to cast my Chi builders even when I have 3 Chi. Thanks!

  • #52

    It automatically adjusts for whether you have Ascension.  It should never tell you to use Jab or Expel Harm if you have 3 or more chi (4 if you have Ascension).  Do you have any more info about when you're seeing that happen to help me find out why?

    <Edit:> Oops!  I had the numbers wrong.  Adjusted.

    Are you seeing a problem with the most recent version?  If so, what exactly is going wrong, and for which spec?  I mean - is tiger palm itself continuing to flash, or is there some other symptom you're seeing?
