Reading your post is like listening to a schizophrenic person babble to themselves. You feel sorry for them in some way, but at the same time you wish they'd just shut the hell up. I suggest you become familiar with some of our exciting rules.

Original Post:

Hello all, this is my first time posting here although I've been actively reading this thread mostly but generally anything about ferals i can find on here and its helped me a great deal with playing my own little furball.

Lately I've been experimenting a lot with macros, made a few quite useful ones too in fact. And some time ago it came to me that having a macro checking for the idol of terror proc and delaying mangle if it is active, using lacerate/swipe meanwhile, for sheer survivability by maximizing the uptime. Since they changed the idol it can no longer chainproc, and thus the mangle cd collides with the idol proc (proc lasting 10sec and cd being 6secondson mangle, you will mangle once during the duration of the buff and leave an inevitable 2sec downtime of the idol). I've been trying to find out how this might be possible myself and i found some info on a "GetPlayerBuff"-command, but it seems very limited unless combined in a complete addon - writing addons is way beyond me. Not been able to find an addon with this feature either.

Please don't tell me how bad this is for threat, because that much is pretty obvious, it'd mean mangling 2/3 less (if it procs off every mangle, which ofc isnt true but for the sake of the argument). But I'm simply wondering if it would be possible to run a check through your currently active buffs, find "Primal Tenacity" and then use lacerate/swipe until the buff is gone and then mangle, to maximize dodge.

Thank you for your time, any ideas for improving my own are ofc welcome.
