About CLC DK

Intro: This is a mod I created for myself. I hated looking all over the screen for multiple information (Disease Duration, Desolation Buff, GCD timer, runic power, runes, etc.) So I developed this addon to have all the information in one place. I then noticed there was a sort of similar addon called clcret that helps ret and prot pallies with their rotation. I decided to sort of borrow the idea and have priority box that suggests a move for you.

Features: (See pictures at sides for a better idea)

Runes: The Rune cool-down is an borrowed idea from some ideas that popped up on EJ awhile back.

  • = rune is off cool-down.
    X = on full cool-down.
    number =how many seconds is left on the rune.

Runic Power: Self Explanatory.

Frost Fever and Blood Plague Durations: Self Explanatory.

Priority System: What the Priority is, and is not:
-Rotation support for all three specs
-Also has a Early Level Rotation
-This is intended for Single Target Boss Fights
-This is only a base rotation, sort of a starting point. There is allot more that goes into a rotation, and I suggest you read up on that. Wither it be on EJ or some other theory-crafting page.
-There is going to be some situations where your own judgment is going to be better (Pestilence, refreshing disease before you run out, etc.).
-That being said, I have put allot of work into optimizing the rotation to be as optimal as possible.

Cooldowns:
-There are eight cool-downs you can customize
-You can hide each set of two (right set, left set, far right set, far left set)
-These include all DK cooldowns, as well as important buffs and procs (such as Killing Machine, Sudden Doom etc.)

Customize: Visual Settings:
Normal - which shows the frame only in combat or while targeting an enemy.
Show - which will always show the frame.
Hide - which will always hide the frame.

-Can hide any aspect you do not want in the addon
-Can move any aspect of the addon to any part of the screen you want.

Button Facade Support

Efficiency:
-While running it is at about 220 kb in memory. I like to keep my addons very simple and to the point.

FAQ:
Q: Can you make the priority icon clickible or bind it to a hotkey?
A: No, it is impossible to do with the changes blizzard made back in BC.

Q: Diseases don't seem to be tracked in the priority, whats up?
A: Check the options (/clcdk) and look under "Disease Options" and make sure its set to what you want.

Q: Does it work for tanking?
A: Yes and no. While it shows you a basic single target rotation, it will not show you when to use cooldowns, or when to use more aoe threat moves, again like DPS priority, its a starting point, not a scripture.

Q: I want you to add something to the rotation.
A: For the most part, rotations are pretty much set in stone based on the best single target rotation. Most stuff I will NOT add for multiple reasons, mainly that most moves are extremely situational and you should really learn when to use them. If the addition makes sense and is decent utility, I may add it. I'm still throwing some things up in the air on this topic.

Q: I have a CD or Buff that isn't being tracked.
A: Tell me what it is and I will add it. I have tried my best to add all cooldowns, but I might miss a few (especially ones in specs I don't play that often).

Q: I think I have found a bug, what do I do?
A: Leave a comment or send me a private message with as much information as you can. Just saying that there is a problem does not help me at all. Send me screenshots, which version it started happening in?, is it only one spec?, etc.

Q: Why is there a rotation? Deathknight rotation is easy enough.
A: The entire intention of the rotation is for new deathknights to learn the rotation easily, and know what moves to do in different situations. There is much much more into a rotation, and if you know of these things, you should hide the rotation by changing the icon to something different. (/clcdk -> Cooldown Options -> Priority Dropdown)

Contact: -Any suggestions on how to improve the addon or any bugs, please leave a comment and I should respond in a few days.

Curse: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/clc-dk.aspx

This addon is only being supported through Curse as of this time. WowInterface update forthcoming.

Thanks: Baine for German Translations (deDE)
yeah-chen for Chinese (znCN) and Taiwan (zhTW) Translations
Everyone who has used this addon and help make it better.

5.1.0
Finally back up and running, thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. So here we go:
-Added Soul Reaper
-Added check-box selections for Plague Leech and Unholy Blight in the priority window. (a lot more work than it sounds like :/ )
-Some changes to rotations for Frost and Unholy.
-MoP Trinkets will be added gradually over the next week or so. (There are a ton of them)

5.0.4
-All Specializations updated
-Updated default settings and CDs to more appropriate settings
-Frost Alternate Priority changed to Dual-Weild, and RP variables updated
-Pool RP for Interrupt reworked into Pool RP for Glyphed Interrupt, and variables updated appropriately. (Check this box if you took the Glyph of Mind Freeze)
-Removed holdovers from version 4.3.0 including Unholy Strength Buff (now passive), and Chilblains (now adds functionality to Frost Fever)

5.0.0BETA1

5.0.0a
-5.0.4 basic functionality fixes for runic power, disease tracking, runes and CDs.
-Updated base disease duration to reflect in game values.
-This is an alpha release for BASIC FUNCTIONS ONLY. It is unable to identify specialization, and therefore spec related CDs are currently unavailable. Because of this, and the complete change in priority, DO NOT USE THE PRIORITY BOX, it has no idea what to do with itself. The intent of this quick release is to satisfy the needs of players who are accustomed to this layout for tracking diseases, runic power and runes.

Coming Soon: New Specialization Compatibility, and Talents

4.3.0b
-added Unholy Strength buff

-Added Glyph of Howling Blast Support (ie, using HB to apply FF on target)
-Fixed bug where you could not move character with mouse when over frame.

-As for the other priorities, I will update them later this week. Been extremely busy past couple days, and need to catch up on stuff.

-Added more buffs to CD watch
-Made the addon use less memory when not on a DK

-New Rune system is fully implemented.
-Better Algorithm for determining best move with the new rune system and with some of the new DK spells (aka Runic Empowerment procs)

-All three rotations complete (for the most part)

    I don't know why other are getting errors, but I suggest you try it out.  I get zero errors and really enjoy this addon.   And it was easy enough to make the T15 set piece work with it.  

     

  • #469

    The addon seemed to be working fine functionally (showing the right rotations, etc.) but it throws errors constantly making it unusable.

    It appears to be dead since it's been like this for over a month now. Bummer.

  • #467

    Is this great addon dead again?

  • #468

    I don't know tbh, Ive not heard from the author since we first swapped PM's acouple of weeks back.  He's either dead busy IRL or has given up on the project.  I think it was the best DK addon, but I'm using something else now until (hopefully) CLC_DK is working again.

    I've swapped PM's and error logs with the author so he is aware of the current bugs.  I assume he is working on the fixes, although I haven't heard back from him yet.  Need to be patient I guess.

    Hi there, really thrilled to see this updated. I keep getting this error:

    Message: Interface\AddOns\CLC_DK\CLC_DK.lua:1097: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

    There is no obvious trigger for it. Sometimes it happens in combat, other times while sitting in town doing nothing whatsoever. This error just stacks and stacks until I have to disable it.

    Getting the same thing. Seemed OK at first and now this is pretty much constant. Wonder if something was changed on Blizzard's end?

  • #460

    Hey , HO

    First : Thank you for that great Add-on !!

    but here is my problem ....every time i switch in my Blood Skill and then back to my Frost Spec i am no longer able to klick the box with the alternativ rotation(dual wield) in my frost dps spec

  • #459

    It crached me too.. dunno what is cause I'm ussualy put not to dissable addon... damn I hope to safe the issue. This is an important addon for me sense wotlk and I don't wanna miss it. I wanna help so I will copy paste the next issue. Thanks

  • #456

    Crashing now....what's going on with this addon...had to disable until it is fixed

  • #457

    I can't help you without an error report.

  • #454

    Is there any chance that the addon could recognize presences? I use this addon for pvping on my DK, and as a TC i use blood presence an awful lot in frost spec. But it doesnt realize that frost strike costs 35 runic instead of the typical 20 that i would get from being in frost.

    Thanks

  • #455

    From what I understand that Dks can no longer cross presence. So if you are a frost or blood dk then you have to be in frost or blood presence, so that may be the reason why your not getting the proper use of your runic spent.

    I am just trying to help is all, but their is a site could help if you feel that I am wrong.

    Correct, DKs are typically not suppossed to go cross presence anymore. There may be some uses to do this still, especially in pvp where certain unusual conditions are present. The purpose of this addon's priority system is not, nor was it ever to cover all of these circumstances. An experienced player, going outside of the realm of the pre-determined single target rotation can often performbetter and If you go that route the addon will not follow you. The convenient CD tracking, RP, rune bar and disease tracker can still be used to excellent effect whatever the situation, however.
