Create a priority list of curses. This add-on allows the warlock to transfer the knowledge of what curse to cast in a given situation to code, thus freeing up the warlock’s brain cycles to deal with other things.
For any specific situation, more often than not, a warlock will cast the same curse on the target time after time. With all the possible combinations of current zone, target name, target class, target PvP status, and existing non-stackable curses already applied that is a lot of information to store, calculate, and train. This add-on is meant for you to transfer that knowledge into a single key press, while maintaining the ability of the warlock to override the system at their discretion.
Warlock Curse allows you to create a priority list of curses in the following curse “list groups”, in order of priority:
Raid leader transmitted curse list (future feature) A specific continent and specific zone All zones in a specific continent All zones in all continents
The following information is used to determine which curse will be cast:
Is the target a player? What is the target’s class? What is the target’s name? What zone am I currently in? What non-stackable curses are already on the target (CoS, CoE, etc)?
Once a curse has been chosen the following decisions are made: Should I cast Amplify Curse? Should I reapply this curse?
Finally, the add-on will cast the appropriate curse, or Amplify, based on how you have configured your priority list. All of this logic on a single button!
Yes it may seem a little complicated, but it is not doing anything more complicated that what you currently do when you examine the debuff list of your target, noting the target class/name, remembering which zone you are in, then pressing one of many “Cast curse X” buttons on your screen/action bar.
For raids, typically a raid leader will assign each warlock a specific curse to cast throughout the run, sometimes mentioning that in encounter X you cast curse Y, but in encounter A you cast curse B instead. After a while the warlocks that raid often will fall into a pattern of being responsible for a specific curse without direction from the leaders (this is a good thing). On the next run, though, some warlock might not make it, the leaders then have to reassign curses, warlocks have to remember to their new assignments, etc, etc. Causing a minor hassle.
With Warlock Curse that problem goes away. Each warlock in the raid uses this add-on, has it configured similarly (future updates will help remove this potential issue), and it no longer matters which warlocks are there, when they start casting, if they are afk, or if JoeWarlock was there yesterday but not today, if you are a warlock short, or three heavy. Each warlock on the raid uses the add-on to cast their curse and based on the configuration the target will have the desired curse(s) applied.
The only downside to all of this, is each warlock may need to go out and buy their top rank CoR and CoW. Oh noes!
Usage Click the mini-map icon (use the CoS texture) Use the command line: /wcurse To cast a curse make a macro with the command: /wcurse cast or /script WarlockCurse:CastCurse() (NOTE: This one is case sensitive)
Configuration Warlock Curse comes with a very small default set of curses, enough to get started in MC/BWL/AQ40 (no PvP curses are defined by default). It will not, by default, cover all situations. It is up to you to transfer your specific knowledge into the add-on, since as hard as I try, I still can't read your mind.
