SpellFlash: Death Knight - WoW AddOns

The DeathKnight addon requires SpellFlash to function.

The goal of this addon is to assist Death Knight class players in selecting casting decisions based on Runic Power and currently available Runes.

At this time the core functions have been created and the script is performing nicely but the decision criteria is requiring more effort to complete.

SpellFlash flashes your action bar abilities for your rotation, or anything that proc's!! Very lightweight and doesn't consume any extra space on your UI.

What it does:

This module is designed to flash spells to cast when they become available and are set specifically depending on what talent tree you have chosen.
The general idea is to maximize damage by keeping active during a fight. By understanding the abilities and cooldowns more, the hope is to increase DPS overall. For players already maximizing gear, slotting, runes and cooldowns, this module probably won't help. For those looking to enhance performance, or wanting to try to boost their damage, this module may be what you are looking for.

If you have suggestions or change requests, please feel free to locate this module on curseforge.com and enter a ticket or comment.

==Latest Version 1.04
* Fixed a bug with dual-wielding frost spec that caused errors to occur when Presence check was performed.
* Fixed issue with Blood spec cooldowns
* Fixed Unholy Spec issue where Summon Ghoul would flash when mounted.
* Modified Frost rotation to account for more IT and PS in an attempt to keep runes from being on cooldown too for Obliterates. Only further testing and time will tell if this was set up correctly.

Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking into this issue right now along with another I found in Blood presence.

So a bit about this error. In the spellflash API, there is a function called s.Castable to determine if a spell is in a castable state. For dual wielding, I set the module up to be in Frost presence if there is a weapon in the offhand. If there is a two-hander, the general rule is to run in unholy presence. This is all it's doing.

It seems I missed something that your particular condition sent a nil value (0) and I did not set up the variable correct. Once I can get the failure to occur and figure out what the mechanics of the condition are, I'll have it fixed shortly.

Hiya Develen,

Firstly, well done on finally creating SF:DK. I've been waiting for this for a while now.

Unfortunately, I've got a bug. Not sure where I should post it. I hope here is okay :)

Good news from the few people who have been assisting with verifying damage output and threat - "Working good, it boosted my Unholy DPS nearly 3k, my Frost DPS nearly 2k and I'm not having threat issues in Blood." - Tom

A BoT run improved the performance of our 10-man DK by an average of 1.7k DPS overall.

While I don't think improvements like this will be seen by all, it does appear to help some folks. For those hitting 11-20K dps in Item Level 340-360 gear, this addon may or may not improve your game.

Death Knight module has been created with allspecs in mind. Note the rotations may not be exact but the idea behind this module was to help low DPS death knights in understanding the basics of GCD and hitting the spells important to the spec chosen.

If you have suggestions on ways to improve this, please send a note or comment. I'll read them and update whenever possible.

One final note, the AOE capabilities of the class have been left out of rotations on purpose for now...there is a reason behind this but one that would involve a lengthy discussion on the merits of when and where said AOE is acceptable.
