Looking for a Hunter's Mark strength mod. - Page 3

Ael, many hunters would be glad to test that mod out and I'm sure some would even be willing to give suggestions on how to make the proper fixes.

Be happy to beta test it..could do with something like this..

Just an update, still testing it and working out the kinks. Tested it during our SSC raid last night and with all the debuffs being thrown up on bosses, issues with aura refreshing isn't so much of a problem - also, the mod's creator forgot to specify what type of damage to look out for since melee damage was triggering the buff stacks lol. It's just solo grinding at the moment where it's not quite gelling. Still to test:

- 5 mans
- Getting other hunters in my guild to use it during raids to test how the mod reacts to other people's marks.

It's not my mod to hand out, but I will encourage my guildie to publish it and I will definitely make it and him known when it's ready for general use.

This addon would surely be helpful. As a side note I have two questions on the subject: if I renew my own mark, does it keep it's stacks? And if I renew another hunter's mark?

I'm also looking for a way, or an addon, to prioritize a pet skill. For instance to be sure that my pet is using Bite as soon as it's up instead of just spamming Claws.

Gief! This specific add-on has been eagerly sought after for a long time now but for some reason the hunter community hasn't been able to come up with it. I'll happily volunteer for beta duty as well.

Been a bit, any updates? or possible beta release? Thanks.

Hey guys,

Got a link for all of you. Post here if you find any bugs or have any suggestions on how to make it better. I'm guessing with the new combat log changes next patch this will need an overhaul anyways, but here it is for all to enjoy.

Author: Sorata, druid from my guild, Sadistic on Zenedar - many many thanks, and I'm sure he's browsing these forums too, but is too shy to post :P

You saw it here first!

Thanks for the addon. I found a bug I guess: I tried it out solo on Dr Boom tonight. After applying HM to Boom and started shooting, the tool tip value crept up until I hit 440 AP. When I however reapplied HM with about 30 sec. left of the old one, it reset to 110 AP, and stayed at that value.

I use Pitbull. I'm not sure if that can play a role.

I use pitbull myself. I'll test this out tonite and forward it on to the author. Could it not be that since the mark was self cast that you can over-write your own marks and start out at zero stacks again? Try it without the mod and I'm pretty sure you can renew your own mark once it's started stacking - I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply when trying to cast you own mark on another hunter's mark and you get the whole "A more powerful spell is already active" message.

Hi, i'm the Author.

I beleive this is how it works, when you reapply a buff/debuff the game 1st removes the old one then applies the new one (Get a priest to buff you with Power Word: Fortitude, heal you to full health and then rebuff you, it will show the old buff being removed and the new buff being applied in your combat log as well as the fact that you loose health).

P.S. I have made a new version to work with 2.4 and it should be 100% accurate and be able to tell mobs of the same name appart. Unfortunatly I am unable to test it properly because the EU character copy is still saying "Full" and has been for the last 3 days.

North101 · 02/16/08, 2:17 PM

Leveled a Hunter to 6 on the PTR so I could properly test and debug the new version and after abit of work, I got it working. I was able to simplify the mod and remove all but 1 of the librarys without increasing the size of the actual code as well as removing most of the need for localisation (which means it should work with all clients now). It is also as accurate as it can be and as long as your combat log sees it and is able to tell the difference between mobs with the same name.

I do, however, have 2 problems at the moment.

I'm not sure how I should go about updating the buff count
Currently the mod checks for the event "RANGE_DAMAGE" to increase the counter, but Arcane Shot fires the "SPELL_DAMAGE" event, do other shots (like Steady Shot) fire the "SPELL_DAMAGE" event, and if not, would Arcane Shot count as "Ranged Damage"?

Here is the link if you want to try it out.

I'm on the PTR clearing Sunwell. PM me if you would like some testing done, would be happy to help out.

North101 · 02/18/08, 8:56 PM

I worked out a way to fake a blizzard event and it should work with any addon that registers the "UNIT_AURA" event.

I do how ever still have a problem. What abilities should increase the RAP of Hunter's Mark? Arcane Shot, Multi-Shot, Steady Shot, Silencing Shot and Aimed Shot should but should Hunter Stings, Concussive Shot, Distracting Shot etc increase it as well?

PTR version seemed to be working great last night on the PTR, used it on trash and bosses. Worked with my mark, as well as other hunters marks.
