# Combat rotation matrix

Healer Man uses AzerothCore playerbots commit `531282e` as a read-only behavioral reference. The implementation is an independent TypeScript policy over Healer Man's executable catalog, not a port of playerbots C++.

| Concern | Playerbots behavior translated into Healer Man |
| --- | --- |
| Core rotation | One deterministic priority profile for each of the 31 Wrath specializations. |
| Maintenance | DoTs, debuffs, buffs, pets, and summons are refreshed only after their existing effect ends. |
| Execute | Execute-category abilities move ahead of the normal profile below 20% target health. |
| Multiple targets | Cleave gains value at two hostiles; area damage moves ahead at three or more. |
| Healing | Critical, medium, and light triage bands begin below 30%, 60%, and 90% health. Area healing requires three injured allies. |
| Threat | Tanks interrupt first and taunt a hostile that is not attacking them; non-tanks drop dangerous threat before continuing their profile. |
| Control | Interrupts are reactive. Long crowd control is used only when an encounter requests control. |
| Defense | Mitigation is used below 55% actor health and receives emergency priority below 35%. |
| Resources | Low-resource generators are favored below 30%; spenders still have to pass runtime cost and rune validation. |
| Combo points | Builders run below four points; finishers require at least four points on the current target. |
| Major cooldowns | Offensive cooldowns of 60 seconds or longer are held for bosses or durable targets. |

CoA and Runes of Magic builds use the same semantic rules when no classic profile applies. Runes of Magic candidates include primary, secondary-general, and primary/secondary elite skills through `abilitiesForCharacter`.

## Classic specialization profiles

The leftmost available action wins after reactive rules, learned-talent gating, resource checks, maintenance checks, execute/AoE adjustments, and major-cooldown conservation. Maintenance entries are intentionally listed first; an active aura or pet removes that entry from consideration.

## Ability audit classification

Active abilities fall into one of three audit buckets:

- **Conditional:** executable but selected only by a semantic trigger, such as interrupts, dispels, resurrection, threat control, movement, crowd control, executes, defensives, and long cooldowns.
- **Unsupported:** the catalog has only `unsupported`, `scripted`, or noncombat `utility` payloads, or represents a noncombat summon such as a scouting eye, ritual object, portal, or mount. These remain player-visible when valid but are deliberately excluded from autonomous rotations.
- **Rotation defect:** an executable learned ability with combat semantics that cannot be selected in its valid state. Profile-reference tests, shared-policy scenario tests, party damage audits, and the expanded-class audit treat these as failures.
