# Combat rotation matrix
|
|
|
|
Healer Man uses AzerothCore playerbots commit `531282e` as a read-only behavioral reference. The complete historical checkout is available locally at `../wow-pvt-server-backups-2/azerothcore-wotlk/modules/mod-playerbots`; do not modify it or treat it as the active project. The implementation is an independent TypeScript policy over Healer Man's executable catalog, not a port of playerbots C++.
|
|
|
|
The most useful upstream starting points are `src/Ai/Class/<Class>/Strategy/` for actions, triggers, and relative priorities; `conf/playerbots.conf.dist` for the level-60 and level-80 PvE talent build links; `src/PlayerbotAIConfig.cpp` for parsing those links; and `src/Bot/Factory/PlayerbotFactory.cpp` plus `src/Mgr/Talent/Talentspec.cpp` for level-aware talent application. Translate these inputs through Healer Man's own talent legality, executable-effect, resource, encounter-state, and deterministic-simulation rules rather than copying C++ behavior literally.
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
|
|
`playerbots-inspired-v5-ready-five` also generates legal level-scaled talent plans for all
|
|
31 classic specializations. Each level-80 plan spends 51 points in the selected
|
|
tree and 20 in a compatible secondary tree, prefers executable active talents
|
|
and their prerequisites, and sanitizes obsolete imported prerequisite links.
|
|
Runtime resource generation is actor-authoritative without erasing the action's
|
|
cooldown/GCD, and companion melee abilities share the formation combat-reach
|
|
leeway already used by weapon swings.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Companion readiness gate
|
|
|
|
The shared WoW NPC policy begins with Protection Warrior (Aldren), Discipline
|
|
Priest (Quorin), Marksmanship Hunter (Liora), Fire Mage (Xavian), and
|
|
Assassination Rogue (Orin) as Ready. Every other WoW specialization begins as
|
|
Needs Testing; Beta is an explicit GM-published opt-in. Readiness filters only
|
|
NPC seats. Player character choices, RoM parties, and CoA/RoM Balance Lab
|
|
catalogs are unrestricted.
|
|
|
|
Ready is a certification result, not a tuning label. Its profile must resolve a
|
|
legal Playerbots-derived talent allocation and learned ability ranks at each
|
|
level bracket; preserve its generated identity, resources, gear, and precombat
|
|
setup; execute every conditionally required action; react correctly to threat,
|
|
healing, dispels, interrupts, movement, and boss mechanics; and demonstrate
|
|
major offensive and defensive cooldown decisions without unexplained idle
|
|
windows. Stock abilities whose Talent.dbc node was removed by the patched
|
|
client (currently Devastate, Shadowstep, and Lava Lash) use their retained
|
|
Spell.dbc source level rather than an impossible dangling talent gate.
