Great addons have lazy people behind it.

Synopsis
Go RPB if you are not hooked to TMW yet.

---

I have told you about TellMeWhen in this (link) post.

I have told you about macaroon being bugged, and the lazy programmer finally making a new version that now in 3.1 works (though there was no working version for the first 2 weeks of 3.0.8.

The same thing happened to TMW. The programmer was lazy. I posted on curse 2 weeks before 3.1 went live the following bug (on PTR);

The setting: Show me only if casted by myself was bugged. It should show Rip and Rake only when I casted it, but instead it will show any Rip and Rake casted by anyone. However if mine is active it will show mine before any others.

It really pissed me off because I got subbed from Mimiron because I was doing low dps. I got back in though after the other druid had to leave and we killed him! There was no other druid so the buggy addon didn't bother me much then, though my dps was still low because of me soaking bomb bot blows in phase 3 and doing little else.

This is the supposed fix: (didn't get a chance to try it yet).

elseif ( isMine or not icon.onlyMine ) then

replace it with:

elseif ( (isMine and UnitIsUnit(isMine, "player")) or not icon.onlyMine ) then


Also TellMeWhen doesn't always show Mangle (Cat)/Mangle (Bear). I need to test that and see if it works with what I posted in my previous post.

So if you are looking for using TMW or RPB, go for RPB. TMW is a great addon, but the programmer behind it is not really interested in making his product work.

Mangle & Swipe

Synopsis
The names of Mangle and Swipe have been changed. But even with the new names they might not work in macro's. Here's the solution.

---

In addition of Karthis' post "Mangle - Skill name changes" I think it is important for people to be aware that his post was not fully complete (at least for Macro's and not RPB). I posted it as comment nr 6 there, but people might miss it. Therefore this post.

I use macro's to not cast Maul and make it easy to keep a cycle up, not having to spam buttons. Something Kalon brought to my attention in the first place.

This is the macro I used:

#showtooltip Mangle - Bear
/cast !Maul
/cast Mangle - Bear

This didn't work anymore. The reason being that the name has been changed to "Mangle (Bear)".
Still replacing "Mangle - Bear" by "Mangle (Bear)" did not work. To make it work you should be using the following:

#showtooltip Mangle (Bear)()
/cast !Maul
/cast Mangle (Bear)()

Same goes for Swipe, since that name has also been changed.

#showtooltip Swipe (Bear)()
/cast !Maul
/cast Swipe (Bear)()

This is probably a bug, something to be fixed by Blizzard later. I don't know if "Mangle (Bear)()" will stop working, though if I had to program it I would make it possible for both to be used so macro's with "()" will not stop working all of a sudden.

PS. This might very well be true for the cat versions too, but I am not using macro's for those. If you are keep this post in mind.

Unimplemented PTR stuff

Synopsys
New Glyphs are not yet implemented on PTR.

---

I just logged in into PTR and did a glyph research. I discovered nothing. Since that is also for live it means I have all glyphs that are currently in the game. Meaning the new glyphs that should be in 3.1 are not there yet, which we already knew for SD. So it is not possible to test the new SR glyph and we still don't know if the multiplier is:
   Damage * 1.36
OR
   Damage * 1.3 * 1.06 = Damage * 1.378
