Autogear suffixes (#2415)
<!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3. Don't delete parts of this template. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism. Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER.

Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the goal, not human simulation. Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be opt-in. Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description Suffix scoring was already wired up in playerbots, bots could evaluate suffix items they owned, but factory init scored candidates with randomPropertyId = 0 and equipped via EquipNewItem which doesn't roll suffixes, so suffix items always looked like junk and never got picked. Added a cached item_enchantment_template pool in RandomItemMgr, a PickBestRandomPropertyId helper that picks the best suffix per bot class/spec, and added it on the equipped item via SetItemRandomProperties. Tested levels 20-80, suffixes match spec. Closes #2370. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. For items with RandomProperty != 0 or RandomSuffix != 0, run the item_enchantment_template pool once, score each candidate suffix against the bot's existing class/spec stat weights, keep the highest, and stamp that id on the item right after EquipNewItem. Items without a suffix pool skip the helper entirely. Without this, every suffix template scores as base stats only (often near zero) and never gets picked during factory init. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. Startup: one SELECT entry, ench FROM item_enchantment_template (few hundred rows), parsed into an unordered_map<uint32, vector<uint32>> once. No SQL afterwards. Per bot during init: PickBestRandomPropertyId only runs on candidates that actually have a suffix pool. Each call is a hash lookup plus a loop over 5-15 enchantment ids, each doing DBC lookups already used by the scoring code. Cost is mostly by the existing CalculateRandomProperty work, not new logic. Scales linearly with bot count, same as the rest of factory init. No new per-tick work. ## How to Test the Changes 1. Generate a fresh random bot at level 20-79 and use autogear (cloth, leather, mail, plate, lots of suffix gear at that range). 2. Inspect the bot's gear. Items with names like "of the Eagle", "of the Monkey", "of Healing", etc... should be equipped, with the suffix stats visible on the tooltip. 3. Generate a level 80 bot at high gear-score limit. Confirm it still equips raid epics normally (epics have no suffix pool, so this path is untouched). ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) Bots now consider random-suffix items during factory init and equip them with the best suffix for their class/spec. Before, suffix items were effectively invisible to init autogear because they scored as base stats only. This is the intended fix for #2370. - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Added one new public method on StatsWeightCalculator (PickBestRandomPropertyId) and one new cache in RandomItemMgr (LoadEnchantmentPool + GetEnchantmentPool). The candidate list in InitEquipment changed from vector<uint32> to vector<pair<uint32, int32>> to carry the chosen suffix id alongside the item id. Logic mirrors existing patterns in the same files (DBC lookups, SQL-backed caches, signed randomPropertyId encoding), no new abstractions, no new wrappers. ## AI Assistance <!-- AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.

It mapped the existing scoring pipeline and pointed out that PlayerbotFactory::InitEquipment was scoring candidates with randomPropertyId = 0 and equipping via EquipNewItem (which doesn't roll suffixes), so the scoring side was already built, just never fed real suffix ids during init.

Overhaul party buff/greater blessing system (#2358)
## Pull Request Description
These changes I originally made for myself because as a person who
really likes to raid with bots, I felt like the current group buff
system is fundamentally broken, and I needed something more consistent
and optimal. I debated a lot whether to PR this because it's such an
extensive overhaul that was almost entirely reliant on AI, and I know
that wishmaster still has a PR open regarding the greater blessings. I
decided to after a couple of conversations so at least people can look
at it and see if it's something that they want.
The tl;dr version is that this PR overhauls buff handling in two related
areas:
1. It adds a dedicated greater blessing assignment system.
2. It generalizes party/raid reagent-buff handling for Paladins, Druids,
Mages, and Priests.
Under this PR, greater blessings are determined by assignments for the
current group, and those assignments are determined based on:
1. a hardcoded priority list of blessings for each spec;
2. the number of Paladins in the group; and
3. whether any Paladins have talents for Blessing of Sanctuary, Improved
Blessing of Might, or Improved Blessing of Wisdom.
Assignment determinations are cached in a value to avoid constant
reevaluation.
The exact priority list is:
- All casters: Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary, Might
- Physical-only DPS (Rogues, Warriors, DKs): Might, Kings, Sanctuary,
N/A
- Hybrid DPS (Enh, Ret, Hunters, Cats): Might, Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary
- Druid tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, Wisdom
- Warrior and DK tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, N/A
- Paladin tank: Sanctuary, Might, Wisdom, Kings
Note that Sanctuary is preferred over Kings for Paladin tanks because of
the mana regen component but deprioritized for other tanks because Kings
provides Agility. The extra 3% damage reduction from Sanctuary does not
stack with Disc Priests’ Renewed Hope, which will have 100% uptime.
For group buffs, logic is centralized so that class triggers use the
same gating and upgrade rules for Gift of the Wild, Arcane Brilliance,
Prayer of Fortitude, Prayer of Spirit, and Prayer of Shadow Protection.
Also, Shadow Protection is now a default strategy for Priests (rshadow,
which existed before but wasn’t added by default).
I’ve added a config setting for the greater blessing system and adjusted
the current config setting for group buffs. In each case, you can pick
whether to disable the feature entirely, use it in all groups, or use it
only in raid groups. The default is raid only for greater blessings and
all groups for group buffs. Note that for group buffs, even if the
config is enabled, they will be used only if at least 3 group/raid
members on the same map are missing the buff family. This is mainly to
stop group buff spamming during wipe recovery as bots are revived
one-by-one.
I renamed the Paladin buff strategies to align them with the actual
blessing names:
- `bhealth` -> `bsanc`
- `bmana` -> `bwisdom`
- `bdps` -> `bmight`
- `bstats` -> `bkings`
This is an intentional breaking change for saved strategy strings. Bots
will need a one-time strategy reset after update.
I removed bots telling you when they are out of reagents for greater
blessings. If people like that though, I can add it back.
A small cleanup is also included in TankPaladinStrategy: Holy Shield was
subject to three overlapping health triggers with the same priority; I
removed the two lower health thresholds which have no purpose.
## Feature Evaluation
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
I’m going to let the AI answer this one.
> The minimum logic is:
> - a shared config-gated check for whether group/raid buff variants are
allowed
> - a shared way to treat single and group variants as equivalent aura
families
> - a shared upgrade path from single-target buff to group buff when the
group variant is appropriate
> - a Paladin-only cached assignment model that decides which blessing
family each Paladin should cover for the current group
> - trigger/action wiring that only attempts casts when a group member
is actually missing the assigned buff
>
> This avoids scattering separate per-class heuristics across many
triggers and actions.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
Processing cost should be minimal but non-zero. The general party buff
changes are limited to existing buff trigger paths and mostly replace
duplicated checks with shared helpers. They do not add expensive default
per-tick behavior outside those existing trigger evaluations.
The Paladin greater blessing logic does add extra decision-making, but
it is limited to Paladins, gated by config and group eligibility,
subject to a delayed trigger evaluation of only once per 4s, and cached
per group assignment set instead of recomputing the full assignment
model on every action attempt.
This PR also increases the throttle duration for group buff triggers to
limit performance impact; I’m open to adjustments to these durations:
- Mark of the Wild triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Arcane Intellect triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Priest buff triggers were increased to 8s (previously, Fortitude was
6s, Spirit was 4s, and Shadow Protection had no throttle)
- There is now a 5s delay on buffing (greater blessings and group buffs)
after bots log in—I was getting bots spamming buffs as soon as they
logged in even when it was not necessary
I’ve tested with pmon, and the impact is minimal—these are very cheap
triggers even compared to standard bot rotational ability triggers.
## How to Test the Changes
1. Try different config settings to confirm that they work to
enable/disable greater blessings/group buffs in the configured scenarios
2. For greater blessing changes:
- test with one Paladin in a party/raid
- test with multiple Paladins in a party/raid
- confirm the Paladins divide blessing coverage instead of repeatedly
overwriting each other
- include at least one Paladin with Improved Blessing of Might and make
sure it casts Might over Paladins without the talent; check the same
with a Paladin with Improved Blessing of Wisdom
- do not include a Paladin that knows Sanctuary, confirm any Paladin
tank receives Kings instead (you’ll need a low-level Paladin for this
since Sanctuary is a prot talent)
- confirm bots cast blessings only when a member is actually missing the
relevant blessing family
- confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in
3. For group buff changes:
- confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in
- confirm that single buffs are used when there aren’t at least three
unbuffed members in the same map, even if group buffs are enabled in the
config
4. For all buffs, test with reagents missing to confirm fallback to
single-target buffs and single blessings
5. Confirm the Paladin buff strategy names are changed after resetting
AI
## Impact Assessment
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
Discussed above in processing costs.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
Yes—that is the purpose of this PR, to change default buffing behavior.
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
Yes, but I think it’s inevitable to add complexity to get greater
blessings to function consistently, given the challenges brought by
their mechanic of applying across each class.
## AI Assistance
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
I used GPT-5.4 extensively for this overhaul. It’s much more complicated
than I could handle on my own. I’ve done a lot of testing and have
reviewed the code and provided plenty of revisions, but I cannot say I
can perfectly explain each addition and how it works, not even close.
## Final Checklist
- - [x] Stability is not compromised.
- - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable.
- - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.
- - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated.
- - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands).

Druid Overhaul (#2392)
<img width="1274" height="952" alt="druids" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7390d7e5-ed99-4eb3-8802-8c2f457d7c86" /> Hello playerbots community!! After my pvp gear update, I was itching to get back to class strategies. I was testing raids, and noticed that druids... Well, they kinda sucked. They had glaring issues, would randomly die from bugs, and overall felt bad. Looking at issues discussed on github/discord, I decided to start working on a druid update. I started with the boomkin, and made a boomkin PR, but there were some technical issues with the storing of the eclipse mapping not clearing, and it was not good... I closed that PR, and went back to the drawing board, with one goal in mind: Make the druid class function as best as possible WHILST keeping the code consistent with what already exists. There is a TON of _yoink and twist_ (copy and paste with or without slight edits), and anything that is custom/new is discussed in the section below. I am very proud and excited to release this though - after 45 days of coding and testing, the druid finally feels good to have in the group. Disclaimer - this PR aims to address bugs, utility, and overall performance of Druids. It will not magically make them top DPS. I have done hours of testing, and druids can occasionally top the charts - but inconsistently. Boomkins are inconsistent due to Eclipse (until later gear phases), and Feral Cats are incredibly dependent on positioning, timing, combo points, energy, clearcasting procs... The stars have to align for things to go right for the Cat (It doesn't help that all movement, targeting, and actions are ran through the same engine, so cats really suffer in boss fights with scripted movement) But the changes I have made help those situations occur a fair bit more frequently. Let's dive in! <!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3. Don't delete parts of this template. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> A druid overhaul across all four specs — new Cat stealth and CC systems, Eclipse tracking and rotation fixes for Balance, a Bear threat rotation rework, a Resto healing priority overhaul, and a restructured CC and AoE strategy architecture. --- ## Talent & Glyph Config - **Balance:** Moved points out of Improved Moonfire and into Nature's Reach for threat reduction and extended cast range. - **Bear:** Moved points out of King of the Jungle (15% enrage damage) and into Feral Instinct for increased Swipe damage and AoE threat. - **Cat:** Swapped the Glyph of Typhoon (useless for feral) for Glyph of Dash, which benefits the cat a ton in prowl. - **Resto:** Swapped Glyph of Rejuvenation for Glyph of Nourish (better HPS for difficult content), and Glyph of Typhoon (useless for resto) for Glyph of Dash. Moved one point from Nature's Bounty to Empowered Touch. --- ## Balance - **New skill - Typhoon:** Added Typhoon, triggered by "enemy within melee," using cone targeting logic ported from Cone of Cold. Typhoon is from the "balance pvp" spec only, and is housed in the shared AoE strategy. - **New skill - Cyclone:** Added Cyclone targeting the RTI CC-marked target (default moon). Incapacitates for 6 seconds with full damage immunity — cannot be broken by AoE. Priority 24.0f > Hibernate (23.0f) > Entangling Roots (22.0f). *(See CC Implementation in the code notes below.)* - **Bug fix - Eclipse cooldown tracking:** Eclipse procs referenced a cooldown not registered in the database, so boomkins immediately reverted to the wrong filler after an Eclipse buff fell off. Fixed with manual timestamp tracking. *(See Eclipse Cooldown Tracking in the code notes below.)* - **Bug fix — Starfall no longer pulls out-of-combat hostile enemies:** Previously fired on cooldown regardless of surroundings — its 36-yard radius (the largest AoE in the game) could silently pull entire unengaged packs. Now suppressed if any non-combat hostile NPC is within 40 yards. *(See Starfall Pull Safety in the code notes below.)* - **Filler changed to Starfire:** Starfire is now the filler (priority 5.4) over Wrath (5.3). Starfire has a 100% spellpower coefficient vs. Wrath's 12%, is more mana-efficient per point of damage, and has a 100% eclipse proc chance on crit vs. Wrath's 40%. In practice this significantly reduced mana consumption, especially before level 40 when Moonkin Form's mana-on-crit passive isn't available. - **Moonfire / Insect Swarm on Attacker rework:** Previously tied to the light AoE trigger (2+ enemies, 13.0f), causing low-level boomkins to multi-dot instead of casting fillers — mana-inefficient at low levels where targets rarely live long enough to tick the full DoT. Re-added as dedicated on-attacker triggers at lower priority than the fillers, so they fire only as a movement fallback. The triggers have been changed to override the TTL check (time to life), similar to the warlocks DoTs. - **Hurricane channel check rework:** Previously cancelled based on distance from the bot — enemies could leave the AoE but remain within 30 yards, keeping the channel alive. Now reads the Hurricane DynamicObject's actual radius and counts only attackers physically inside it. *(See Hurricane Channel Cancel in the code notes below.)* --- ## Cat - **Prowl (Stealth):** Implemented using the same logic as the existing Rogue stealth system. The bot enters Prowl when out of combat and a target is within range. Engagement distances are: - 30 yards baseline - −10 yards if the target already has a victim (engaged in combat) - −10 more yards if the target is also moving (minimum 10 yards) - +15 yards in Battlegrounds or Arenas - Enemy player targets take priority over grind/DPS targets when evaluating distance. - **Prowl openers:** The bot approaches the target in Prowl and opens based on approach angle and level: - **From behind:** Ravage (learned at level 32). Before Ravage is learned, Shred is used as the opener. - **From the front:** Pounce (stun + bleed, learned at level 36). Before Pounce is learned, Claw is used as the opener. - **New skill - Maim:** Added Maim as a 5 second stun-finisher at 5 combo points, but only against player targets. It will only fire when Rip and Savage Roar are already active. - **Innervate on healer:** Cats now cast Innervate when a healer drops below the low mana threshold (`AiPlayerbot.LowMana`, default 15%). *(See Healer Low Mana Framework in the code notes below for the shared value/trigger infrastructure backing this.)* - **Predator's Swiftness with CC spells:** Added a twotrigger pairing Predator's Swiftness (the instant-cast proc from finishing moves) with the existing CC triggers (Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangling Roots). Feral cats can now instant-cast CC the RTI CC-marked target (default moon) after a finisher using the Predator's Swiftness proc. - **Predator's Swiftness with Rebirth:** Added a twotrigger pairing Predator's Swiftness with the combat resurrection trigger. Cats can now use a Predator's Swiftness proc to instantly cast Rebirth on a dead party member. - **Bug fix - Autoattack no longer breaks prowl:** `MeleeAction::isUseful()` now returns false while the bot has the Prowl aura, preventing autoattack from breaking stealth before an opener spell fires. The code comment notes this pattern should be reused for a future Rogue autoattack in stealth fix. - **Bug fix - Non-prowl skills no longer break prowl:** `isUseful()` overrides were added to Feral Charge (Cat), Mangle (Cat), Swipe (Cat), Rake to return false while Prowl is active, preventing accidental prowl breaks before the opener fires. - **Bug fix - Clearcasting proc with energy spells:** Added dedicated `ClearcastingTrigger` / action pairings to ensure Clearcasting procs are consumed immediately. On single target, Shred is used; on AoE, Swipe (Cat) is used. This prevents the cat from using it's valuable clearcasting proc on a low energy spell (rake, feral charge - cat, cower, etc). This also fixes a bug where Clearcasting would sometimes linger for 4+ seconds without being used, as energy-based spells do not recognize the free cast and would not fire until their energy condition was met. - **Tiger's Fury rework:** TF previously fired on cooldown as a default action, meaning the bot would use it at full or near-full energy and gain no benefit from the energy it generates. The trigger now requires energy to be below 30 before firing, ensuring the bot recovers the full 60 energy granted by the King of the Jungle talent. - **Faerie Fire (Feral) rework for cat:** With Omen of Clarity, spams on cooldown to fish for Clearcasting procs. Without it, applies as a normal debuff and does not reapply while active. *(See Faerie Fire (Feral) Trigger in the code notes below.)* - **Feral Charge toggleable strategy:** Feral Charge (Cat) is now housed in a dedicated `feral charge` strategy, enabled by default for Cat druids. It can be disabled with `co -feral charge` and re-enabled with `co +feral charge`. Disabling this strategy can be useful for encounters where charging in would be unfavorable. - **Rake on Melee Attackers removed:** The Rake on Melee Attackers action was removed from the Cat AoE strategy. Applying Rake to multiple attackers and spreading out combo points produced far lower AoE DPS than simply continuing the single-target rotation. - **Antiquated Omen of Clarity framework removed:** `OmenOfClarityTrigger` and `CastOmenOfClarityAction` were not functional and have been removed. The `ClearcastingTrigger` appropriately tracks Omen of Clarity procs. I believe this was from TBC when Omen of Clarity was a spell. --- ## Bear - **Berserk tracking for Mangle:** A `berserk active` trigger fires Mangle (Bear) at priority 25.0f while Berserk is up. Previously, Mangle sat at 5.5f in the default actions while Swipe (Bear) sat at 25.0f on the light AoE trigger — meaning in any 2+ enemy encounter, Swipe would always win regardless of Berserk. Now Mangle (25.0f) sits above the AoE triggers (24.5f), so it takes priority during Berserk. It's pretty cool to see a Bear's dps on pull! - **Faerie Fire (Feral) rework:** Previously applied once and stopped. Now spams on cooldown for continuous threat generation (~3.5k threat per cast at level 80), and serves as a ranged soft-taunt fallback on the `lose aggro` trigger when Growl is on cooldown. *(See Faerie Fire (Feral) Trigger in the code notes below.)* - **Lacerate rework:** Previously, lacerate was a low priority default action and bears had no duration awareness. They would occasionally let 5 stacks of Lacerate fall off, resulting in pretty significant threat loss. Now, `LacerateTrigger` fires when the target has no Lacerate debuff, the stack count is below 5, or the remaining duration is ≤ 6 seconds. - **Demoralizing Roar on single target:** Previously, Demoralizing Roar only fired on the medium AoE trigger (3+ enemies, skipped on bosses). A dedicated trigger now applies it in any encounter, provided Vindication, Demoralizing Shout, or Curse of Weakness are not already present, as they don't stack with Demoralizing Roar. - **Bug fix - Rebirth on bears:** Bears no longer attempt to cast Rebirth in combat. The generic combat resurrection trigger was firing for all druid specs, causing bears to shift out of Dire Bear Form mid-fight to cast Rebirth — dropping their armor and HP while still holding aggro. Lots of sudden tank deaths... - **Feral Charge toggleable strategy:** Feral Charge (Bear) is now housed in a dedicated `feral charge` strategy, enabled by default for Bear druids. It can be disabled with `co -feral charge` and re-enabled with `co +feral charge`. Disabling this strategy can be useful for encounters where charging in would be unfavorable. --- ## Resto - **Blanketing strategy:** Added a `blanketing` strategy (enabled by default, `co -blanketing` to disable) that pre-HoTs group members with Wild Growth and Rejuvenation regardless of current health, prioritizing tanks → melee → ranged to maximize Revitalize uptime. *(See Blanketing Strategy in the code notes below.)* - **Nature's Swiftness → instant Healing Touch combo:** Nature's Swiftness was previously included in the boost strategy, where it would fire proactively on cooldown regardless of context. This wasted the proc on situations where it provided no benefit. It is now exclusively reactive — triggered at high priority (56.0f) when a party member hits critical health. A paired `nature's swiftness active` trigger then immediately fires Healing Touch (55.0f) on the lowest-health party member, consuming the proc as an instant-cast emergency heal. - **Lifebloom priority lowered (29.0f → 13.0f):** Lifebloom on the main tank is cast on Omen of Clarity procs. At 29.0f it previously outprioritised all low health reactive healing (21.4f), meaning a Clearcasting proc while a party member was at 25–44% HP would cause the bot to cast Lifebloom on the tank instead of Swiftmend or Nourish on the injured target. Lowered to 13.0f so it fires only when no reactive healing is queued. - **Healing spell priority order reworked:** All three reactive categories (critical, low, medium) now follow the same sequence: Swiftmend → Wild Growth → Nourish → Regrowth → Healing Touch. - **Tranquility toggleable strategy:** Tranquility is now housed in a dedicated `tranquility` strategy, enabled by default for Resto druids. It can be disabled with `co -tranquility`. In raids, Tranquility only heals the druid's own group — not the full raid — making it situationally poor during raid-wide damage or heavy movement phases. Disabling this strategy lets players suppress the cast on those encounters without affecting the rest of the healing rotation. --- ## CC & Strategy - **Boost strategy:** The boost strategy is assigned to all druid specs by default. It is spec-gated internally — Balance druids use it for Force of Nature (treants on cooldown), and Feral druids (both cat and bear) use it for Berserk. - **CC strategy enabled by default:** The CC strategy was previously not assigned to druids by default. It is now enabled for Balance and Feral Cat, with behavior gated by spec: - Balance receives the full RTI CC trigger set (Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangling Roots). - Feral cats only receive RTI CC triggers when Predator's Swiftness is active (see above). - **AoE strategy reorganized:** All AoE spells — Hurricane, Starfall, Typhoon, Swipe (Cat), and DoTs on attackers (Moonfire, Insect Swarm) — are now handled by the shared AoE strategy, consistent with how the rest of the playerbot project structures AoE logic. This does not affect Bear druids. - **Aquatic Form while submerged:** The non-combat strategy now shifts into Aquatic Form when the bot is fully submerged out of combat (`LIQUID_MAP_UNDER_WATER`). If the bot is in another shapeshift (Bear, Cat, Moonkin, Tree), it first shifts to caster form as a prerequisite before entering Aquatic Form. The trigger intentionally does not fire at the water surface (`LIQUID_MAP_IN_WATER`), or use the "swimming" trigger, because it caused the druid to loop caster form and aquatic form endlessly while surfaced. --- ## Code Consolidation & Refactoring - The Bear, Cat, Heal, and Caster strategy files have been renamed to Bear, Cat, Balance, and Resto respectively, to match the naming conventions used elsewhere in the project. - The Melee and Offheal strategy files have been deleted. The offheal healing logic is preserved in full — it now lives as an optional strategy (`CatOffhealStrategy`) inside `CatDruidStrategy`, sharing the same action node factories as the base cat strategy rather than duplicating them. - All action relevance values across the druid strategies have been converted from named constants (e.g. `ACTION_NORMAL`, `ACTION_HIGH + 4`) to explicit numerical floats (e.g. `10.0f`, `24.0f`). This makes priority ordering immediately visible in the source without needing to cross-reference the constant definitions. --- ## New Code & Project References ### Eclipse Cooldown Tracking (`DruidActions.cpp`) The previous implementation tracked the Eclipse cooldown using `EclipseSolarCooldownTrigger` and `EclipseLunarCooldownTrigger`, both of which extended `SpellCooldownTrigger` and called `bot->HasSpellCooldown(48517/48518)`. `SpellCooldownTrigger` is the standard project pattern for this — it works correctly for spells whose cooldowns are registered in the database. However, Eclipse (Solar) and Eclipse (Lunar) both have **Cooldown: n/a** in the DB. `HasSpellCooldown` always returned false, so boomkins never respected the cooldown and would revert to the wrong filler immediately after an Eclipse buff fell off. Since the cooldown can't be read from the DB, the fix tracks it manually. When `CastWrathAction::isUseful()` or `CastStarfireAction::isUseful()` detects that the corresponding Eclipse aura has become active, it records the current timestamp and suppresses the opposing filler for 30 seconds — the actual in-game cooldown duration. The timestamps are stored using `ManualSetValue<time_t>`, the same pattern as `LastSpellCastTimeValue` (`src/Ai/Base/Value/LastSpellCastTimeValue.h`), which is already used throughout the project to record when spells were last cast. Two new value classes — `EclipseSolarProcTimeValue` and `EclipseLunarProcTimeValue` — are registered in a new `DruidValueContextInternal` factory inside `DruidAiObjectContext.cpp`, following the same factory pattern as `DruidTriggerFactoryInternal` and `DruidAiObjectContextInternal` in the same file. Because these values live in the per-bot `AiObjectContext`, they are automatically destroyed when the bot logs out — no manual cleanup needed, and no shared state between bots. --- ### Healer Low Mana Framework (`PartyMemberToHeal.h/.cpp`, `HealthTriggers.h/.cpp`, `ValueContext.h`, `TriggerContext.h`) `HealerLowMana` and `HealerLowManaTrigger` are added to the shared base framework rather than the druid-specific code. Currently used by the Cat Innervate trigger; designed so Mana Tide Totem, Hymn of Hope, and similar spells from other classes can hook into the same trigger without duplicating the group-scanning logic. The pair follows the same pattern as the existing `PartyMemberToHeal` / `PartyMemberLowHealthTrigger` — the project's standard design for "scan the group for the most in-need member, then trigger when that member crosses a threshold." **Value** (`HealerLowMana : PartyMemberValue`): `Calculate()` walks the group reference list, skips non-healers via the existing `IsHeal()` check, and uses `MinValueCalculator` to return the lowest-mana healer as a `Unit*`. Registered in `ValueContext.h` under the key `"healer low mana"`. **Trigger** (`HealerLowManaTrigger : Trigger`): `GetTargetName()` returns `"healer low mana"`, which the base `Trigger::GetTarget()` resolves against the value context — exactly how `PartyMemberLowHealthTrigger::GetTargetName()` returns `"party member to heal"`. `IsActive()` calls `GetTarget()` and checks `GetPowerPct(POWER_MANA) < sPlayerbotAIConfig.lowMana`. The trigger doesn't extend `HealthInRangeTrigger` because that class is specifically for health (it reads the `"health"` value). Mana requires a direct `GetPowerPct(POWER_MANA)` call, so a plain `Trigger` with a custom `IsActive()` is used instead. Both are registered in the global `ValueContext.h` and `TriggerContext.h` rather than a class-specific factory, consistent with how all other `PartyMemberValue` subclasses are registered in the project. --- ### Blanketing Strategy (`RestoDruidStrategy.h/.cpp`, `DruidActions.h/.cpp`, `DruidAiObjectContext.cpp`) **Strategy structure:** `DruidBlanketStrategy` is a standalone `Strategy` overlay, not embedded inside `RestoDruidStrategy`. This is the same pattern as `DruidTranquilityStrategy`, `DruidBoostStrategy`, and `DruidCcStrategy` — additive overlays that layer behavior on top of the base strategy and can be toggled independently via `co +/-blanketing`. **Triggers:** Both `"wild growth blanket"` and `"rejuvenation blanket"` are instantiated as `BuffOnPartyTrigger(ai, spellName)` — the project's existing class from `GenericTriggers.h` for party-wide buff maintenance, used throughout the codebase for things like Blessings and Mark of the Wild. `BuffOnPartyTrigger` extends `BuffTrigger` and fires when any party member is missing the named aura. No custom trigger class was needed. **Actions:** Both actions inherit from a shared `CastBlanketHotAction` base that itself extends `CastSpellAction`. Inheriting from `CastSpellAction` means `isPossible()` is handled for free — spell known, off cooldown, target reachable, resources available. The constructor sets `range = botAI->GetRange("heal")` to use the standard healing range. **`GetBlanketTarget(auraName)`:** The custom part of the implementation. Walks the group in three prioritized passes — tanks first, then melee non-tanks, then ranged — returning the first eligible member found. Eligible is defined as: alive, not a GM, within `spellDistance`, and `!botAI->HasAura(auraName, member, false, true)` (not already carrying the HoT). Returns nullptr if every member is already covered. **`isUseful()`:** On both actions simply returns `GetTarget() != nullptr` — fires as long as `GetBlanketTarget` finds someone without the HoT, and suppresses itself the moment all targets are covered. --- ### CC Implementation — Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangling Roots (`DruidTriggers.h/.cpp`, `DruidActions.h/.cpp`, `GenericDruidStrategy.cpp`) The druid CC spells use the project's strict RTI-only pattern rather than the fallback "best candidate" pattern used by other classes (e.g., Mage Polymorph). **`"rti cc target"` value:** A direct raid icon lookup. Reads the `"rti cc"` string value (default `"moon"`, configurable per-bot via `rti cc <icon>`), converts it to a raid icon index, and returns the live `Unit*` for that GUID. If no CC icon is set, it returns `nullptr`. There is no fallback to a best-candidate scan. **Triggers** (`CycloneTrigger`, `HibernateTrigger`, `EntanglingRootsTrigger`): All three extend `HasCcTargetTrigger` and override `IsActive()`. The first check is always `"rti cc target"` — if it returns `nullptr`, the trigger is immediately silent. If an icon is set, it checks `"cc target"` (with the spell name as a qualifier) to verify the RTI target matches and delegates to `HasCcTargetTrigger::IsActive()`, which handles the "don't re-cast while already CC'd" check. **Actions** (`CastCycloneCcAction`, `CastHibernateCcAction`, `CastEntanglingRootsCcAction`): All three extend `CastCrowdControlSpellAction` rather than plain `CastSpellAction`. The action names are `"cyclone on cc"`, `"hibernate on cc"`, `"entangling roots on cc"` — not the raw spell names. This matters because `CastSpellAction` stores its constructor argument as both the action name and the spell name, and `isPossible()` calls `CanCastSpell(spell, target)` using that string. Passing `"cyclone on cc"` to `CastSpellAction` would resolve to spell ID 0 and silently return false forever. `CastCrowdControlSpellAction` keeps the spell name separate from the action name, avoiding this. `GetTargetValue()` on all three returns `context->GetValue<Unit*>("rti cc target")` directly. **Form prerequisite:** The action nodes for `"cyclone on cc"` and `"hibernate on cc"` have `NextAction("caster form")` as a prerequisite, so the bot automatically shifts out of Bear, Cat, or Moonkin form before casting. Entangling Roots has the same prerequisite. **Priority order:** Cyclone (24.0f) > Hibernate (23.0f) > Entangling Roots (22.0f). Cyclone is preferred because it works on any target type and the target is immune to all damage and healing while cycloned — it cannot be broken by AoE. Hibernate is beast/dragonkin only. Entangling Roots can be broken by damage. **Feral Cat CC:** Wired through `TwoTrigger` pairings with `"predator's swiftness"` (see Cat section above). Because the Predator's Swiftness proc makes the spell instant-cast, no form shift is needed — the cat casts directly from Cat Form after a finisher. --- ### Ferocious Bite Execute (`DruidTriggers.h`, `DruidCatActions.h`, `CatDruidStrategy.cpp`) Two separate triggers fire the same `CastFerociousBiteAction`, which is a plain `CastMeleeSpellAction` with no custom logic — all the intelligence lives in the triggers. **`FerociousBiteTimeTrigger`** ("ferocious bite time", 22.5f) — the normal rotation path. Requires 5 combo points, Savage Roar active with >10 seconds remaining, and Rip active on the target with >10 seconds remaining. The duration checks prevent spending combo points on Ferocious Bite when either buff is about to fall off and needs to be refreshed first. **`FerociousBiteExecuteTrigger`** ("ferocious bite execute", 24.0f) — the execute window, higher priority than the time trigger. Requires only 1 combo point, and fires when the target is below **both** 25% HP and 20,000 absolute HP. The dual condition is the key design detail: the 25% threshold alone would trigger on a raid boss at 25% health — which could still be millions of HP remaining. The 20,000 HP cap ensures the execute behavior only activates when the target is genuinely close to death, at which point dumping even a partial combo point buildup into Ferocious Bite is better than continuing a normal builder-spender cycle. --- ### Faerie Fire (Feral) Trigger (`DruidTriggers.h`) A single `FaerieFireFeralTrigger` class handles both Bear and Cat with spec-branched behavior inside `IsActive()`. It extends `DebuffTrigger` — the project's standard class for debuff maintenance on the current target — but overrides `IsActive()` to produce three distinct behaviors depending on form and talent state: **Bear:** Bypasses `DebuffTrigger::IsActive()` entirely. Returns true whenever the target is alive and in world, regardless of whether the debuff is already present. Every cast generates immediate threat and damage, so there is no reason to wait for it to fall off before recasting. **Cat with Omen of Clarity (talent aura 16864):** Same bypass — spams on cooldown to fish for Clearcasting procs. Faerie Fire (Feral) has no energy cost, making it a free input that can proc Omen of Clarity on any hit. **Cat without Omen of Clarity:** Falls through to `DebuffTrigger::IsActive()` — the standard base class behavior, which checks: target alive and in world, debuff not already present (`!botAI->HasAura("faerie fire (feral)", target)`), and estimated remaining lifetime of the target is at least `needLifeTime` seconds (default 8.0f — no point applying a 30-second debuff to something about to die). Applied as a normal debuff; does not reapply while active. Both spam paths additionally guard against Prowl — `IsActive()` returns false while the bot has the Prowl aura to prevent casting from breaking stealth. **Strategy wiring:** - Bear: standard rotation slot at 17.0f, plus wired into the `"lose aggro"` trigger at 25.5f as a soft-taunt fallback when Growl is on cooldown. - Cat: low-priority filler at 5.0f. --- ### Starfall Pull Safety (`DruidActions.cpp`) Starfall's 36-yard AoE radius is the largest in the game. A single cast near an unengaged patrol or mob pack would silently pull everything in that area. The previous implementation fired on cooldown with no awareness of the surrounding area. `CastStarfallAction::isUseful()` now applies two guards before allowing the cast: **CC safety check** (standard project pattern): reads `"current cc target"` and `"aoe position"`; suppresses the cast if the CC'd target is within `aoeRadius` of the bot's AoE position. **Unengaged hostile NPC scan (custom)**: reads `"nearest hostile npcs"` (`NearestHostileNpcsValue`), which uses the project's standard `Acore::AnyUnitInObjectRangeCheck` + `Cell::VisitObjects` grid searcher at `sightDistance` (~50 yards). The value pre-filters via `AcceptUnit()`: non-players only, and `unit->IsHostileTo(bot)` must be true — this excludes neutral-faction trigger creatures, dummies, and invisible spawns that would otherwise appear in a raw range scan. The loop then applies four additional filters: - Skip null / dead / out-of-world units (standard guard). - Skip the current target — it is the reason we're in combat; its in-combat flag is already covered. - Skip `!bot->IsValidAttackTarget(unit)` — safety net for hostile-faction trigger creatures carrying `UNIT_FLAG_NON_ATTACKABLE` that `IsHostileTo` alone doesn't filter. - Skip units beyond 40 yards — Starfall's listed radius is 36; 40 adds a small buffer for patrols about to enter range. If any remaining unit is `!unit->IsInCombat()`, the cast is suppressed — that mob is unengaged and would be pulled. **Why `"nearest hostile npcs"` and not `"attackers"`:** `attackers` only contains units currently targeting the bot. We need to scan all hostile units in the area, not just those already aggro'd. --- ### Hurricane Channel Cancel (`DruidTriggers.h/.cpp`, `GenericDruidStrategy.cpp`) The previous cancel condition checked whether fewer than 3 enemies were within 30 yards of the bot. This is a poor proxy — enemies could scatter laterally but still sit within that radius, keeping the channel alive while none of them were taking damage. The replacement is `HurricaneChannelCheckTrigger`, which locates the actual Hurricane `DynamicObject` on the field and measures from it directly. **`IsActive()` logic:** 1. Checks `bot->GetCurrentSpell(CURRENT_CHANNELED_SPELL)` — if the bot isn't channeling at all, returns false immediately. If it is channeling but the spell isn't a Hurricane rank, also returns false. This check is necessary because `CURRENT_CHANNELED_SPELL` is a slot, not a specific spell — the same cancel action is reused for other channeled spells in the codebase, so the trigger must verify it's specifically Hurricane before acting. 2. Iterates through `HURRICANE_SPELL_IDS` (all five ranks: 16914, 17401, 17402, 27012, 48467) calling `bot->GetDynObject(spellId)` until a non-null result is found. Hurricane places a `DynamicObject` on the field that the server uses as the actual AoE cylinder — each damage tick queries which units are inside it. The DynamicObject is keyed by spell ID, so the trigger must try each rank to find whichever one the bot currently has learned and placed. 3. Reads `dynObj->GetRadius()` — the actual radius stored on the DynamicObject itself rather than a hardcoded constant. This matches exactly what the server uses to calculate damage, so the trigger's cancel condition is spatially identical to the server's hit detection. 4. Walks the `"attackers"` GuidVector and counts how many live attackers are within `dynObj->GetRadius()` of the DynamicObject's position using `unit->GetDistance(dynObj->GetPosition()) <= radius`. 5. Returns `count < minEnemies` (default 3). The trigger fires — cancelling the channel — when fewer than 3 attackers are physically inside the Hurricane AoE. **Why `"attackers"` and not a full area scan:** Hurricane only deals damage to units that are attacking the bot (or in its threat list). Scanning all nearby hostile units would cause premature cancellation if non-aggro'd enemies happened to be standing outside the AoE. Attackers is the right scope. **Strategy wiring:** The trigger is paired with `NextAction("cancel channel", 22.0f)` in the AoE strategy for both Balance and Resto druids. The cancel priority (22.0f) sits below the Hurricane cast priority (23.0f), so if the medium AoE trigger re-activates on the same tick the cancel fires — meaning enemies came back into range — the new cast wins over the cancel. --- ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. Most new triggers are simple aura or cooldown checks. The heavier ones are the group scans (for the blanketing HoTs and the healer mana check), but these are identical in cost to group scans already running throughout the project (all of the party member health checks). The Starfall safety check is the only genuinely new scan — it looks for nearby hostile NPCs before allowing a cast, using the same grid search the project already uses elsewhere. That being said, it's loaded on the end of the trigger/action pairing - so in the StarfallNoCDTrigger, the bot has to already have learned starfall, already be in combat, and have Starfall off of cooldown and ready to use. The Hurricane cancel check only runs while the bot is actively channeling, so it's tightly gated. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. Negligible for almost everything in this PR. The vast majority of new logic is aura/buff/debuff lookups and cooldown checks that cost nothing at scale. The group scans for blanketing and healer mana follow the same pattern as existing party scans that already run on every healer bot every tick. No new unbounded operations, no shared state between bots. ## How to Test the Changes <!-- - Step-by-step instructions to test the change. - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific configuration). - Expected behavior and how to verify it. --> All druids perform a bit better now - I'd say test the branch out with the druids y'all currently use. JUST REMEMBER TO DO reset botAI or talents spec "x" again, since there have been some strategies changed!! The big one being the blanketing strategy for resto druids. They heal so much better now. Also being able to control when they pre-hot is really great. ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) Tested before an after with the same performance logs. I tested it with a 25 man group of only druids versus my normal 25 man group on several raid bosses - no difference in pmon. - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) Druid bots currently have several bugs/issues with them. This doesn't exactly change the skills they were already using - just refines the scenarios in which they should be used. For example, a boomkin won't use starfall when there is a pack within range but not aggro'd. You can turn off feral charge for cat druids now, so they don't fly into a bosses aoe (locust swarm on anub, overload on iron council). Bear druids don't battle rez anymore. They just feel less clunky and heal/hold aggro better. - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) There are only 2 changes to files outside of the druid strategy, which is the healer low mana framework and the modification to autoattack not being used while in prowl. ## AI Assistance <!-- AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor. We expect contributors to be honest about what they do and do not understand. --> Was AI assistance used while working on this change? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) <!-- If yes, please specify: - Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code generation). - Which parts of the change were influenced or generated, and whether it was thoroughly reviewed. --> AI was used heavily in the process to make this PR. First in the research necessary into how systems work, to the initial code implementation, to the testing results (explaining the outcome/why it sucks), to the fix, and then to the review of the code at the end. I will say that after I started researching how to use AI, use .md files for context, clearing sessions, I got a lot better results. I'll be the first to admit that it is 10 times easier to introduce a bug with AI than it is to solve one or implement something new. That is why every time it proposed a change, I asked it if the code was consistent with the project (Already present somewhere else) and if it wasn't, it was heavily scrutinized. It was written with Claude Code with Sonnet 4.6 (high), and peer reviewed by Github copilot. AI also made the description part of the PR, in which I modified myself. <!-- TRANSLATIONS: Anything new that the bots say in chat must be in a translatable format. This is done using GetBotTextOrDefault, which you can search for in the codebase to find examples.

See data/sql/playerbots/updates/2025_12_27_ai_playerbot_fishing_text.sql as an example of a translation SQL update, whose content are called within the codebase at src/strategy/actions/FishingAction.cpp --> ## Final Checklist - - [x] Stability is not compromised. - - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable. - - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained. - - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated. - - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands). **Wiki commands** @Dreathean While this PR does add strategies, they are all enabled by default: co +feral charge (feral druids, both cat and bear) - enabled by default, allows/prevents the use of feral charge co +tranquility (resto druids) - enabled by default, allows/prevents the use of tranquility co +blanketing (resto druids) - enabled by default, allows the druid to pre-hot with wild growth and rejuvenation But it would be worth a mention on the wiki - there are scenarios where having these strategies disabled would be beneficial. ## Notes for Reviewers <!-- Anything else that's helpful to review or test your pull request. --> @kadeshar @Celandriel @brighton-chi Thank you for taking the time to look this over. There is a lot of copied code, a bit of new code (which is explained in the code explanation part of it, but please still ask questions), and a lot of refactoring. Please remember to reset the bot strategies before/after you test this branch, due to the several changes (blanketing, feral charge strategies). Reset with reset botAI or "talents spec balance pve" for any testers out there that didn't know.

Fix Mages' Armor Strategies & Light Refactor (#2390)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Mages have a "bdps" strategy to use Molten Armor (default for Fire and
Arcane) and "bmana" strategy to use Mage Armor (default for Frost). The
existing code uses a series of alternatives for armor
(Molten->Mage->Ice->Frost), which is needed for Mages that have not
learned Molten or Mage. However, I was noticing that sometimes my Fire
and Arcane Mages would end up with Mage Armor, presumably because there
could be a situation in which the casting of Molten Armor failed and the
fallback to Mage Armor kicked in (for example, due to there being not
enough mana to cast Molten Armor). This PR makes bdps always mean Molten
Armor, if it is learned, and bmana always mean Mage Armor, if it is
learned, by gating through triggers.
Other changes:
- Added bdps and bmana to default Mage combat strategies (still bdps for
Fire and Arcane and bmana for Frost) so that Mages will reapply armor if
it expires in combat.
- Deleted Arcane Explosion strategy--it was not fully implemented
because there was no associated action (such as through a
CastArcaneExplosionAction class). I debated implementing it, but there
isn't a suitable targeting mechanism that exists in the code from what I
can tell. Arcane Mages generally just use Blizzard for AoE (and
Flamestrike with PoM); Arcane Explosion is useful to use if (1) a player
is moving or (2) mobs are almost dead in an AoE situation. Scenario (1)
is irrelevant for bots since they cannot cast while moving. With respect
to scenario (2), the existing AoE triggers in fact look for highest HP
mobs so to implement Arcane Explosion in a useful manner would probably
require a new Value, and that is not worth it for what would be
miniscule benefit anyway.
- General cleanups of Mage code (e.g., deleted empty ActionNodes). These
were based on a quick review; I did not do any sort of detailed or
comprehensive review and have no desire to with this PR. Note: I know
that FrostMageStrategy.cpp had a Fireball alternative for Frostfire
Bolt, but I deleted it anyway because the same ActionNode is already in
GenericMageStrategy.cpp.
- General cleanups of AiFactory default combat/noncombat strategies
(e.g., removal of deprecated bdps and bmana strategies for Shamans).

<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a

-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many

Added getAlternatives for the armor strategies; this approach already
exists for Druids. Added one new trigger for Molten Armor that is
throttled by 10s like the existing Mage Armor trigger.

<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.

-->
Give a Mage the "bdps" strategy. They should cast Molten Armor. Make
them cast a different armor. After the trigger throttle period (10s),
they should reapply Molten Armor. Same goes for bmana and Mage Armor.
Try this in combat, and it should work too.

Use Stones for Prot Paladins & Reduce Oils (#2405)

-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Back when I did the Stones/Oils PR, I gave Wizard Oil to Prot Paladins.
I was operating based on their mechanics in TBC and have since realized
that their damage is much more physical-based in WotLK as opposed to
spell-based in TBC. So I've changed them to now get stones upon
maintenance and apply stones.
I also reduced weapon oils given during maintenance from 4 to 2 stacks.
I did 4 originally because oils stack to 5 so it would align with the
amount given of stones and poisons (which stack to 20). But 4 inventory
slots taken up by oils is excessive, and 2 still last far longer than
buffing reagents in a raid context. So this is just to reduce inventory
clutter.
Other stuff is just little code stuff like reformatting or reordering
things to be more efficient.

<!--

-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended

There's nothing new--essentially with respect to consumables, prot
paladins now are lumped with ret.

<!--

-->
Create a prot paladin, turn on selfbot. Use maintenance and the paladin
should be given stones and no oils. The paladin should then apply the
stone to its weapon (if it is equipping a level-eligible weapon).
Create a caster, turn on selfbot. Use maintenance and they should be
given 2 stacks of oils.

Prot paladins will now use stones in their inventory and will not use

complexity?

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Disc Priests currently do not use Power Word: Shield until a party
member is at "medium health" (configurable, default 65%). That is the
second-level healing threshold; at the highest level, "almost full
health" (configurable, default 85%), Disc Priests will use only Prayer
of Mending and Renew. This PR adds PWS as the highest priority healing
action starting at "almost full health."

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended

Added new action "power word: shield on party" to "party member almost
full health" trigger in HealPriestStrategy.cpp (the "heal" strategy,
which is the default strategy for Disc Priests, as Holy Priests use the
"holy heal" strategy).

PWS is the signature ability of Disc. Priests, and delaying it to 65% is
significantly limiting their effectiveness in group content,
particularly with raid bosses that deal raidwide damage and in heroic
dungeons, where waiting until the tank hits 65% is a death wish. This
single change makes an enormous difference in their effectiveness.

activity).

Refactoring of BWL strategy (#2397)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR refactors the Blackwing Lair strategy to align with newer raid
strategy implementations.
It extracts repeated Blackwing Lair spell IDs, game object IDs, and
suppression device checks into a shared helper, so the action and
trigger code use the same centralized definitions instead of duplicating
literals and condition chains.
No gameplay behavior changes are expected.
This PR is intended as a base for follow-up PRs that introduce
additional boss-specific strategy logic.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Move existing BWL-specific constants and the suppression device
condition into a shared helper.
- Keep all existing trigger names, action names, spell IDs, game object
IDs, and condition checks unchanged.
- Update the affected action/trigger implementations to call the helper
instead of duplicating the same logic inline.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
- No meaningful increase. The logic executed per bot remains effectively
the same.
- This refactor only replaces duplicated inline checks with a shared
helper function and named constants.
- There are no additional scans, branches, state tracking, or new
decision loops.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
Run the Blackwing Lair raid and check if the already implemented
features still work:
- _Onyxia Scale Cloak handling_: Confirm the bot still applies/checks
the same aura as before.
- _Suppression device handling_: Confirm bots still detect nearby active
suppression devices and turn them off under the same conditions as
before.
- _Chromaggus bronze affliction handling_: Confirm bots still use
Hourglass Sand if they have the bronze affliction.
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
A small helper call was introduced for the suppression device check, so
there is technically a minor additional call overhead compared to the
previous inline condition. In practice, the executed logic, iteration
scope, and decision flow remain unchanged, so the impact is negligible
and does not introduce meaningful scaling risk.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

## Notes for Reviewers
<!-- Anything else that's helpful to review or test your pull request.
-->
This PR is intended to be behavior-preserving only.
The main change is consolidation of repeated Blackwing Lair constants
and suppression device logic into a shared helper used by both actions
and triggers. Review can focus on verifying that the extracted helper
matches the previous conditions.

ICC V2, Autogear BiS cmd (#2363)
## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> Big thanks to @kadeshar for providing the bis list for many raids and ilvls :D Video demo for ICC 25HC: https://studio.youtube.com/video/nACyjn817iQ/edit Video demo for autogear bis chat command: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YqyVBaSb2g split main IccActions.cpp into sperate per boss .cpp files changed style to be more aligned with https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/cpp-code-standards (WIP) added bisicc chat command for bots to gear with ICC bis gear if autogear and bisicc is enabled in cfg https://gist.github.com/metal0/0bb094bf65d27e17044308ad0646cae1 bis list used LM Added multiple spike marking and focus for faster spike clearing, each spike will get its own kill group, tank spike will never get melee bots (only assist tank and ranged dps) Added coldflame detection so that melee bots dont go for spikes that are in flames During bonestorm assist tank will go far away spot so that once bonestorm is fixed, LM will bounce back and forth from MT to AT (atm it targets randomly, it should always pick furthest target) Coldflame avoidance is handled by avoid AOE, important to keep it on in cfg Tested on ALL diffs LDW Improved skull marking of adds, add handling by tanks and dps Changed 1st position for ranged bots for easier adds handling in HC and NM Improved tanking logic for tanks, assist tank will focus on collecting adds and bring them near boss Real players will also get cyclone aura when mind controlled Improved ranged position during 2nd phase, they should not get stuck in corners/walls anymore Tanks will remove LDW ToI aura in HC (really hard to tank with it since many things are happening at once) Added Cheat for LDW fight to help tanks with agro in 2nd phase of heroic modes Changed tank position in phase 2 closer to pillars opposed to stairs (bots love to fall thru floor and run thru walls if near them) this fixed the issue Fixed edge case for escaping from shades, it could happen that multiple shades would target bot, and it was running from 1st one he found, now it will run form all that are targeting it Hunters will cast viper sting now, to increase shield draining speed Tested on ALL diffs Edit 19.5. : Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world cfg ICC buff on max (30%) In short cleared LDW without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better and fun experience. GS Changed triggers and actions to enable cross faction play Assist tank will now actually tank adds on friendly ship Dps will properly jump to attack mage and go back to their ship, if stuck on enemy ship /p reset, /p summon or /p follow fixed trigger for cannons, if cannons are frozen bots wont try to mount them anymore which prevented them from attacking mage properly bots will use rocket packs to jump to and from enemy ship instead of teleporting Main tank will now jump 1st. tank enemy boss and wait until all bots have jumped back before he jumps back All bots will wait for main tank to engage enemy captain before jumping to enemy ship Cannons will focus rockets 1st, then other adds now (for when gs gets scripted) Rdps will focus nearby adds on enemy ship and mark with star rti icon when there is no deep freeze todo: remove tanking bypass when core fixes enemy ship boss threat reseting Tested crossfaction on horde with single ally bot, ally bot did everything right, need to test more. note horde side is heavily bugged due to threat issue of adds, tanks cant take threat, on ally its somewhat ok, on horde rip. Horde is doable, but annoying cus of threat issue. Tested on ALL diffs DBS Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let other tank taunt it if they get rune of blood Tanks will tank adds better now, no loose adds anymore Tested on ALL diffs Dogs Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let other tank taunt it if they get 8 mortal wounds stacks Tanks will tank adds better now, no loose adds anymore Tested on ALL diffs Festergut Hunters sometimes populated row 0 which would make them in melee range of the boss (bad for dps). They should pick correct rows now Healers will populate row 0 1st then other rows for optimal healing position Ranged bots should properly choose unique spots to avoid stacking when there is no spore present Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let other tank taunt it if they get 6 gastric bloat stacks Changed ranged spore position closer to boss Spore bots should be able to attack/do non movement action when they have spore and are in position Solved malleable goo detection via direct boss hooks to detect boss targets! Tested on ALL diffs Rotface Tanks should not fight over big ooze anymore Improved big ooze kiting Improved small ooze stacking logic (when no big ooze present, stack at small ooze position, when big ooze is present move to it) Fixed edge cases when main and assist tank get small ooze (they used to move to big ooze, that was really bad since main tank would start to tank big ooze and get hit by big ooze, assist tank would stop kiting and get hit by big ooze) stopped mutated plague from dispelling instantly (as fight goes on, rotface cast mutated plague more and more, thus making it impossible to pass due to sheer numbers of small oozes and big oozes on the map, this will delay their spawning and give enough time for bots to handle them properly) Fixed edge case of multiple small oozes and big oozes being alive at same time (bots would detect wrong oozes and wipe raid or get stuck) Improved flood avoidance Improved ranged positioning in heroic mode, instead of letting them choose positions (which is a nightmare on dynamic fight as rotface, they now will choose 1 spot of 22 premade ones and populate them based on guid and adopt spot based on flood position) Improved Explosion avoidance by making bots remember their starting position so that they can return to it after big ooze explode, their movement is not chaotic anymore, and improved timers, they will wait 2 sec at new position before returning to starting position so that they can avoid explosion projectiles properly, they should also avoid moving to other bots starting positions. These changes ensure minimal movements so that bot can do maximum dps possible. Tested on ALL diffs PP Fixed many logic conflicts that caused bots to freeze, do bad dps to ooze/clouds Fixed triggers and multipliers Improved Gas Cloud avoidance, bloated bot will now remember its previous position to avoid backtracking/getting stuck in corners Added boss hooks to finally detect malleable goo, it is not an npc, object or creature and PP doesn't target anyone, bots will flee from it now Boss stacking now only in last phase Added cheats for players also (if enabled in cfg) only bots used to get auras Fixed tank switching in last phase, atm PP doesn't apply aura, but it should work, since same logic works for dogs, festergut and dbs Assist tank will now become abo if there is no abo before first puddle appears Abo will during puddles, slow oozes, slash boss & oozes In last phase assist will return to normal Tested on ALL diffs Edit 19.5. : Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world cfg ICC buff on max (30%) Tanks switched in last phase flawlesly and shared stacks as they should (mutated plague got fixed in core) In short cleared PP without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better and fun experience. BPC Added center position to prevent bots from pulling BQL or other adds when they glitch thru walls/floor and thus resetting raid back to icc entrance teleporter Added additional z axis resetting since bots like to "fly" up in the air when attacking kinetic bombs. using cheat bypass for ball of inferno flames (atm bugged, doesn't shrink), bots will simply kill them when they spawn. Improved tanking for main tanks, improved collection of dark nuclei for assist tank Improved kinetics bomb handling Improved shock vortex spreading Improved valaran spreading for ranged Added shock vortex (non empowered) detection to avoid it while moving into safe positions Fixed jittery movement Tested on ALL diffs BQL Removed center position block so that bots can spread our easier in 25 mode, not ideal but makes 25hc easier Replaced repulsion based spreading, now each bot will have its own spot and move if needed to new spot Improved air phase spreading Fixed assist tank taking 1st bite Tested on ALL diffs VDW Due to recent core changes bots got bugged in portals if no real player entered and changed Z axis, if there was no z axis change bots would chill under the cloud on the ground and do nothing. I could not figure out how to fix this (thus breaking immersion) without force teleporting them to the clouds. Bots that go into portals will now teleport at the same time to clouds instead of following leader bot. Added feature that if players enter the portal, player with lowest guid will become bot "leader" and they will follow that player so that there is at least a little bit of immersion left. Fixed cloud collection for Heroic Mode, bots will now time clouds more precisely to avoid loosing stack due to not picking them up Improved RTI marking Improved group splitting Improved zombie kiting and avoiding explosion Tested on ALL diffs Sindragosa Bots will mark tomb positions with red smoke bomb in air phase so that real player know where to go with when beacon on them in last phase they will mark with blue smoke tomb position Fixed tank positioning Fixed wrong tomb choice and positioning Fixed tomb marking In last phase healers will stack with melee to allow boss healing In last phase when waiting for mystic debuff to pass, bots will damage tomb like in air phase to speed up the kill todo: tank switch to reset mystic buffet stacks Tested on ALL diffs Edit 19.5. : Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world cfg ICC buff on max (30%) In short cleared LDW without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better and fun experience. LK Changed add gathering logic for 1st phase and winter phase, instead of tank moving to shamblings, he will keep taunting until they agro him. necrotic plague is easy now, ditched complex timing logic for a simple logic ( move to shambling, wait until dispeled, go back. Healers dont dispel until defile ally is near shambling ) Fixed winter phase gathering logic, assist tank will now properly move to raging spirits asap and bring them to main tank, melee dps will no properly move behind/flank spirits and shamblings to avoid instant death. Rdps will now properly focus frost orbs and adds, Transition should also be smoother now, but still needs /p reset if they get stuck. Other phases are ok, LK fight is now even better than before, but player still need to know tactics and use multibot addon to help out bots when needed, especially during defile phase since its random and position matter for valkyrs and future defiles Non winter phase AT will collect raging spirits and move them to main tank, ranged bots will keep distance, melee bots will flank them to avoid aoe Defile, ditched complex spreading which was mostly gamble with boss hooks to detect defile victim. If bot, bot will move away from raid, if real player main tank will yell Player name move away defile. bots will stay in center now if safe from defile, raging spirits or vile spirits Vile spirits soaking by assist tank. Assist tank will stand between spirits and raid and chase spirits. healers are allowed to move from position to heal assist tank. one hunter if alive will be at center position to place traps to slow down spirits HC Real players will also get buffs if cheats are enabled now Assist tank will now never move towards the raid to gather adds, instead it will taunt them instead so that they come to it Assist tank will rotate shamblings at all times away from raid Assist tank will stun shamblings before transition to avoid shockwave wipe Winter phase ice sphere location changed, ranged will focus sphere faster and better now Fixed jittery movement and low dps during winter phase Fixed most of the bots getting stuck during winter phase Valkyrs will be properly marked now, one by one, in hc bots will now ignore low hp valkyrs and focus on grabbing valkyrs or boss After winter raging spirit will have top priority for killing After winter ranged bots will 1st handle ice spheres then skull targets Spirit bomb avoidance improved, main tank should not back track into unsafe positions anymore Since real player is leader its crucial that player know the tactics, bots can not handle edge cases during the fight alone, they need some of reset, follow, summon here and there since its a long fight and things can go wrong. Tested on ALL diffs NOTE: If server crash, bots will sometimes drop ICC strategy even though they are in ICC, simply re enter or write /p nc +ICC to re enable. NOTE: addons that mark icons during fight could break bots, since icons are used for RTI by bots NOTE: I did not use any raiding addons besides unbot and multibot to control bots NOTE: In theory everything should work wihout ICC buff from world cfg, and ICC cheats from playerbots cfg, didnt test it, didnt try, its too hard core for hc mode to go raw, but it should be possible good luck :) NOTE: For normal about 5k gs should be enough to do most bosses. For HC T10 set + ICC 25 nm or HC gear + gems + enchants + buffs from cfg for fun experience. NOTE: As player its good to know every strategy for Bosses, so that you can spot and help out with reset, follow, summon if bots seem stuck or are doing something strange, a lot of stuff is happening on most fights so expect some intervention with reset, summon, follow. 10 MAN 2-3 Healers, 2 Tanks, at least 1 hunter, at least one druid for bress (its not set in stone, but most success with this setup) 25 MAN 6-7 Healers, 2 tanks, at least 1 hunter, at least 3-4 druids for bress (its not set in stone, but most success with this setup) GL & HF, happy raiding :D Closes #1421 #2120 Fixes #1219 NOTE: Not all of them, I have updated affected changes in #1219. Trash, quest, cheats are still nice to haves, but I don't see working on that in near future. Before posting bugs check #1219 and write there. As I said, I dont plan to implement certain things in near future, but I am more than willing to fix bugs that crash server if they happen ASAP. <!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1.

Updates the Windows CI workflow to build AzerothCore and mod-playerbots reliably with Ninja instead of the Visual Studio/MSBuild generator (#2383)

## Pull Request Description
This PR updates the Windows CI workflow to build AzerothCore +
mod-playerbots reliably with Ninja instead of the Visual Studio/MSBuild
generator.
The previous Windows build could fail during the final `worldserver`
build steps because MSBuild/RC generated command lines that exceeded
Windows command-line limits. Enabling long-path support was not enough,
because the failure was caused by tool command length rather than only
filesystem path length.
This workflow now:
- installs and uses Ninja as the CMake generator;
- creates an AzerothCore `conf/config.sh` for CI;
- forces the compiler to MSVC `cl`;
- enables CMake/Ninja response files to reduce command-line length;
- moves the source tree to a short path (`C:\ac`) before configuring and
building.
This keeps the Windows build on MSVC while avoiding the MSBuild/RC
command-line length issue.
**Pros:**
- Fixes Windows CI command-line length failures;
- avoids unreliable `rc.exe` / `MSB6003` errors from the MSBuild
generator;
- keeps the build on MSVC;
- makes the Windows CI build more predictable;
- does not affect runtime code or bot behavior.
**Cons:**
- Visual Studio project files (`.vcxproj`) are no longer generated in
CI;
- the workflow now copies the source tree to a short path before
building.
## Feature Evaluation
- Minimum logic: CI-only workflow changes to use Ninja, force MSVC,
enable response files, and build from a short path.
- Processing cost: None at runtime. This only affects GitHub Actions
build tooling.
## How to Test the Changes
- Run the Windows CI workflow on GitHub Actions.
- Confirm that CMake reports `-- Building for: Ninja`.
- Confirm that CMake detects MSVC as the C and C++ compiler.
- Confirm that the Windows build completes successfully.
- Confirm that no MSBuild `MSB6003`, `rc.exe`, or Ninja `CreateProcess`
command-line length errors occur.
## Impact Assessment
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- [x] No, not at all
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- [x] No
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- [x] No
## AI Assistance
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- [x] No
Maybe if should so i'd made less commits...
## Final Checklist
- [x] Stability is not compromised.
- [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable.
- [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.
- [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated.
- [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands).
## Notes for Reviewers
This change is CI-only and does not affect gameplay, bot logic, database
logic, or runtime performance.
The Windows workflow was failing because generated build commands became
too long for Windows process creation. Switching the CI build to Ninja,
forcing MSVC, enabling response files, and building from `C:\ac` fixes
the issue while keeping the compiler/toolchain consistent with the
Windows target.

Make Vashj Strategy Compatible with Acore Bug & Use AI Instance for Targeting (#2391)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Lady Vashj has been screwed up in Acore for a month or two. In Phase 2,
only one generator activates (instead of four). As a result, disabling
one generator brings Vashj into Phase 3. The strategy uses Vashj's HP +
unit state to determine phase--with the Acore bug, Vashj enters Phase 3
at <65% HP (instead of the correct <50% HP, as deactivating a generator
damages her by 5%) so under the current strategy, bots won't assume
Phase 3 strategies at the right moment. I tried looking into the issue
with Vashj in Acore and cannot figure it out, and I've had an issue open
with Acore and don't know if/when it will be fixed. In the meantime, I'm
modifying the strategy to use the shield barrier aura check on Vashj
instead so it will work regardless of Vashj's HP at the time the
generators are disabled. If/when Vashj is fixed, the strategy will still
work.
I also changed bot-side targeting checks throughout the strategies I've
written from GetVictim() and GetTarget() to using the AI's target state
via "current target." This approach I believe is the best way to
actually check for the target because a GetVictim() check can lock up
Elemental Shamans and Balance Druids due to them not being able to start
an attack to pass that check when outside of spell range, and a
GetTarget() check can occasionally not align with the target that the
bot is actually attacking.
- In effect, this should reduce cases where the bot AI thinks it is on
the right raid target but encounter logic disagrees because the live
victim or client selection is lagging or different.
- Exception: multipliers for blocking TankAssistAction still use a
GetVictim() check. This is because "current target" processes before
issuing an attack, and the targeting check for TankAssistAction is not
to suppress it if the bot hasn't actually issued an attack.
There is a lot more than could be refactored with past strategies to
make them better, but that's for another day. This PR is intended to be
limited and simple to review.

Attempt Lady Vashj with the current bugged version. After disabling the
lone generator, bots should enter Phase 3 strategies and the encounter
should be completable.
Otherwise, generally run raids, and confirm there are no issues with
bots switching targets or starting attacking.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR implements strategies for all bosses in the Black Temple. As
always, I’ve written these with the intent that all bosses be
completable with appropriate gear and 50/50 IP nerfs and boss HP
returned to TBC levels. Illidan is difficult at those parameters, but he
is certainly doable. You just won’t be able to roll a bunch of meme
specs or shitty compositions. Probably.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and

-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
My goal with raid strategies is the same—I’m not just trying to make
encounters doable but am trying to allow people to experience them in a
way that feels like they are part of a coordinated raid of real players.
To me, being able to achieve that is the minimum, and that requires
getting bots to respond to all major mechanics, even if they can
technically just be powered through.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific

-->
Run the Black Temple raid and see if my descriptions of strategies in
the next post check out.
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
The performance impact exists only when the “blacktemple” strategy is
on. I’ve tested with pmon and done my best to properly gate checks to
limit the performance impact even during the instance and boss
encounters.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
The triggers and multipliers will be evaluated as long as the
"blacktemple" strategy is active, and it will be applied automatically
in the instance (and removed automatically when changing maps outside
the instance).
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Removed duplicate and dead trigger-action mappings in
ChatCommandHandlerStrategy. Noticed while reviewing the recent edits to
test-staging. Also when trigger name == action name, that belongs to
supported in supported, so `wipe` and `roll` were moved there.
Beyond that, `InitTriggers` commands were changed to be in a single
line. Really it's easier to read that way, except multi-action lines,
where I gave each action a line of its own.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
Logic has been further minimized to eliminate redundancies.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
Test the affected commands. They should work same as before.
Removed duplicates from `InitTriggers` that are already in `supported`:
1. open items
2. unlock items
3. unlock traded item
4. tame
5. glyphs
6. glyph equip
7. pet
8. pet attack
9. emblems
Dead entries that were in `supported` but already worked through
`InitTriggers`:
1. qi
2. focus heal
Triggers that were moved from `InitTriggers` to `supported`:
1. wipe
2. roll

Fix contradictory leader bot check in `LeaveLargeGuildTrigger::IsActi… (#2361)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
The previous logic contained two contradictory guards back-to-back:
```
// First check: passes only if IsRealPlayer() == true
if (!leader || !GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader) || !GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader)->IsRealPlayer())
return false;
// Second check: returns false if IsRealPlayer() == true
PlayerbotAI* leaderBotAI = GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader);
if (!leaderBotAI || leaderBotAI->IsRealPlayer())
return false;
```
The first guard (due to the erroneous `!` before `IsRealPlayer()`) only
passes when the leader **is** a real player. The second guard then
immediately returns `false` for the same reason, making the function
incapable of ever returning `true`.

Fix ambiguous item parsing in bot text (#2356)
## Pull Request Description
This change fixes two cases of broken bot text with respect to inventory
items.
1. Reserved inventory qualifiers such as "mount," "food," "drink," etc.
no longer also trigger generic item name matching. I first noticed this
problem when my resto Shaman who had the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon in
her inventory would repeatedly give error messages of failing to use it
while mounting (because mounting also causes bots to use items that fit
the reserved "mount," which due to this bug, also caused bots to try to
use any item with "mount" in its name).
2. Custom cast output text no longer reports an inferred bag item as the
spell target for normal unit-targeted casts such as "cast chain heal on
Keleborn." There was a bug where the action would first parse the actual
target and then parse the spell text and then try to match the last word
of the string to a bag item (so the bot would say it was casting chain
heal on a healing potion, even though the heal was in fact cast
correctly on a player).
## Feature Evaluation
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Add a reserved-qualifier check in InventoryAction::parseItems() so
reserved selectors do not also run through FindNamedItemVisitor.
- In custom cast output text, choose the displayed target based on the
actual target type already resolved for the cast.
- It does not change mount selection behavior itself.
- It does not add new spell-target parsing rules.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
- None.
## How to Test the Changes
Reserved qualifiers:
1. Give a bot in your party the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon.
2. Mount up, and the bot should mount too without saying anything
(before the fix, the bot would say it is using the weapon and that the
item was not found).
Spell cast text:
1. Give a bot an inventory item whose name overlaps with part of a spell
name, such as a healing potion.
2. Command a bot to cast some heal on a player.
3. The bot should cast the spell on the intended player (as was the case
previously), and the status text names the player instead of the
inventory item.
## Impact Assessment
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- [x] No, not at all
- [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- [ ] No
- [x] Yes (**explain below**)
Very minor changes. InventoryAction gets one explicit reserved-qualifier
guard. Custom cast text selection becomes more explicit about which
target type should be displayed.
## AI Assistance
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- [ ] No
- [x] Yes (**explain below**)
GPT-5.4 was used to trace the relevant code paths for the errors and
propose the changes.
## Final Checklist
- [x] Stability is not compromised.
- [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable.
- [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.
- [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated.
- [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands).

Flying mount fixes and self-bot (#2351)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR does a few things.
1. Enable Selfbots to mount up. Because they have masters, but are their
own masters, they would never mount up because their master never
mounted.
2. Fix flag state handling after processing the aura change.
3. Add in the Dismount packet handler. This is intended to implement
fall animations and have bots touch the ground when dismounting instead
of floating off the ground. (It was cleared anyway after the first move,
but this should make it more seamless.)

Exclude Invalid Weapons from Shaman Enchants & Refactor Temporary Enchant Spellcasting (#2345)
<!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> Fix for issue #2343 I excluded the MISC and FISHING POLE weapon subclasses from weapon enchants. MISC includes the entry profession "weapons" (skinning knife, mining pick, blacksmithing hammer, arclight spanner) and some other crap that I suspect is not enchantable, but even if it is there's no good reason to do so (like Brewfest steins). The subclass doesn't include weapons that can be used for professions but you might actually want to use for fighting (like Finkle's Skinner). To clean things up overall, I removed the intermediate class CastEnchantItemAction between CastSpellAction and CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and CastEnchantItemOffHandAction. CastEnchantItemAction is not doing anything helpful that can't easily be replicated in the MH/OH classes, and I can't think of any future reason for keeping CastEnchantItemAction. I also brought the CanCastSpell check into the MH/OH classes--previously it just wasn't run for the weapon enchant spells, and I can't think of any good reason why it shouldn't be. I also added Execute functions to both CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and CastEnchantItemOffHandAction so they actually directly cast the enchant on the specified hand instead of running through CastSpellAction's Execute (and thus going through item for spell). I wasn't having problems with the wrong hand being applied under the prior approach, but this is a more direct and better approach anyway. Other changes are just formatting. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question.

Respect worldserver's PreventAFKLogout value (#2328)
## Pull Request Description
This adds checks to prevent bots from logging out when the master isn't
actually logging out, respecting the `PreventAFKLogout` setting in
`worldserver.conf`. Otherwise, returning to the game after a long pause
means your bots are offline and you have to re-add them, which is
annoying.
## Feature Evaluation
N/A
## How to Test the Changes
1. Set `PreventAFKLogout` to 1 or 2 in `worldserver.conf`.
2. Start the server, log in, add some bots to your party.
3. Go to a sanctuary if you set `PreventAFKLogout` to 1 or just start
idling anywhere otherwise.
4. Both you and the bots will stay in-game no matter how much time has
passed.

Add EnableAutoTradeOnItemMention config option (#2323)
## Pull Request Description This PR adds a config parameter `AiPlayerbot.EnableAutoTradeOnItemMention` that controls whether trade dialogues and inventory listings will be triggered for messages that contain keywords anywhere in their text (for example "got some food?"). The default value is `1/true`, so for existing installs there will be no change. This is useful for other mods that could utilise game chats for other purposes, specifically my [mod-playerbots-characters](https://github.com/deseven/mod-playerbots-characters) and @DustinHendrickson 's [mod-ollama-chat](https://github.com/DustinHendrickson/mod-ollama-chat). Individual users might also benefit from the ability to disable this functionality. ## Feature Evaluation N/A ## How to Test the Changes 1. Start the server with default config and join the game. 2. Get into a party with one or more bots. 3. Write `got some food?` to the party chat. 4. A trade dialogue along with the whispers from the bots should pop up. 5. Stop the server, change `AiPlayerbot.EnableAutoTradeOnItemMention` to `0`. 6. Start the server, join the game. 7. Get into a party with one or more bots. 8. Write `got some food?` to the party chat. 9. Nothing should happen. > [!NOTE] > In both cases the commands `t something` and `c something` should still work. ## Impact Assessment - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance used while working on this change? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) ## Final Checklist - - [x] Stability is not compromised. - - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable. - - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained. - - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated. - - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands). ## Notes for Reviewers N/A |

As before, I have designed these all to work with IP with 50% damage and healing. I also did not merge the 1.88x buff to Vanilla & TBC healing items that IP recently implemented. The next post will outline all implemented strategies. Note: Set to draft for now as I may tweak Archimonde some more, but I generally consider Hyjal complete, subject to comments. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question.

Maintenance complexity should not be increased as code outside of the new Hyjal files is not impacted, except to the extent needed to register and implement the strategy in the same manner as all existing strategies. Exception: As noted, I did add new spell hooks, but if they become problematic, they can easily be removed. ## Messages to Translate <!-- Bot messages have to be translatable, but you don't need to do the translations here.

Clean up unnecessary includes in raid strategy and trigger-context headers (#2347)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR trims redundant includes from raid Strategy.h and
TriggerContext.h headers. I noticed a consistent pattern of including
Multiplier.h when it was not needed in Strategy.h and including
AiObjectContext.h in TriggerContext.h when only the narrower
NamedObjectContext.h is needed (both of which I was guilty of also).
Since we make new raid strategies based on existing raid strategies, I
figure let's go for the low-hanging fruit and just fix this so we stop
doing it wrong going forward.
While I was at it, I removed other unnecessary includes but in those two
files only (across dungeon and raid strategies).
Edit: Made a couple of other minor code cleanups I'd been intending to
do. Notably, we shouldn't be including a .cpp in PlayerbotAI.cpp.

Bots Don't Autoequip Tools & Other Misc Weapons (#2346)

Bots are still eligible to equip those weapons (such as through the "e" command). Note that MISC includes the Argent Tournament lances. I've not played WotLK, but I assume those might be relevant for a strategy. It shouldn't be a problem though because I've intentionally not made bots ineligible for MISC weapons; they just won't consider them upgrades on their own. I also cleaned up ItemUsageValue::QueryItemUsageForEquip to consolidate checks and so on. None of that should be functional, or I screwed up. The check for MISC is on lines 219 through 221. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question.

Fix Deep Breath issues during Onyxia encounter (#2318)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
The current strategy for Onyxia causes bots to get hit by her breath
attack relatively consistently during phase 2.
The problem was that the safe zone coordinates always use the bot's
z-coordinate. If the bots are standing at the lower altitude part of the
arena, `SearchForBestPath` inside `MoveTo` causes `INVALID_HEIGHT`,
resulting in the bot not moving at all and getting hit by the breath
attack.
This PR fixes this behavior by using the actual terrain z-coordinates
for the predefined safe zones instead of always using the bot's
z-coordinate. These values are chosen to ensure valid pathfinding
regardless of the bot's current elevation.
Additionally, bots now interrupt their spells if they are not inside a
safe zone during the breath. This causes the bots to immediately start
running instead of finishing their casts first.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
Replaced the use of `bot->GetPositionZ()` in `GetSafeZonesForBreath`
with predefined safe zone z-coordinates to ensure valid pathfinding.
Added `AttackStop` and `InterruptNonMeleeSpells` to guarantee immediate
movement when outside safe zones.
No additional condition checks or branching logic were introduced.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
Minimal. The logic only runs within the Onyxia encounter script and
calling `AttackStop` and `InterruptNonMeleeSpells` should be negligible.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
Enter Onyxia's Lair (10, 25 or 40 (mod-individual-progression)) and
engage Onyxia with the appropriate number of bots.
During phase 2 (Onyxia takes off), check if the bots move to the safe
zones during the breath attack.
Tip: Mark Onyxia as moon (RTI), so that phase 2 doesn't end too quickly.
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
The calls of `AttackStop` and `InterruptNonMeleeSpells` cause minimal
overhead compared to the original strategy. This should be negligible.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
Yes (encounter-specific). Bots will now interrupt casts earlier during
Onyxia phase 2 to prioritize movement to safe zones.
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

## Notes for Reviewers
<!-- Anything else that's helpful to review or test your pull request.
-->
The strategy for Onyxia might need additional work:
For example, the Onyxian Lair Guards are completely ignored while whelps
are alive and their Blast Nova doesn't get handled at all.
This PR focuses on fixing the Deep Breath behavior. Handling of Onyxian
Lair Guards is not included and should be implemented in a separate PR.

PvP Gear, Autogear Tuning, and Stat Weight Corrections (#2322)
<!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3. Don't delete parts of this template. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism. Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER.

Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the goal, not human simulation. Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be opt-in. Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> Hello playerbots community! I have been working diligently whilst on vacation to help get pvp gear up and running for pvp specs. Throughout this process, I have looked at our current autogear system, tested it through and through, and made some changes to make gearing more appropriate per spec. _I am going to have my description of the changes in italics_, **and the AI description overview will be bolded.** Let's begin! **This PR makes some improvements to the bot autogear system across item scoring, spec tracking(pvp specs and gear), and stat weights. Changes are split between those that are always active and those controlled by new config options.** **Mandatory Changes:** **PvP Spec Detection (IsSpecPvp) A new method RandomPlayerbotMgr::IsSpecPvp(botGuid, cls) checks the bot's stored specNo against the spec name string defined in config. If the name contains "pvp", the bot is treated as a PvP spec throughout the entire gear pipeline. This is the single source of truth used by both InitEquipment() and ItemUsageValue. In the future this detection can be expanded to drive bot behavior decisions — such as prioritizing dueling players in the world, joining Wintergrasp, or preferring BG and Arena queues over PvE content.** _This is scalable, so if someone were to create their own pvp spec in the config, it would still be tracked if the name contains "pvp". I like the idea of pvp specced random bots having an identifier for pvp events._ **PvP Weights Applied During Loot Evaluation ItemUsageValue::QueryItemUsageForEquip() now calls IsSpecPvp() before scoring a looted item. If the bot is on a PvP spec, it passes SetPvpSpec(true) to the StatsWeightCalculator, ensuring looted items are evaluated with PvP stat priorities (including resilience weighting) rather than PvE weights. Previously, a PvP-specced bot would score loot identically to a PvE bot.** _So, during autogear and upgrade equips, pvp specced bots will now heavily prioritize resilience. On the flip side, pve bots really don't want resilience gear, so a negative weight modifier (penalty for resilience items) has been applied to pve autogearing and upgrade equips. This is important, because you can switch a bot from a pve spec to a pvp spec, and it will automatically consider resilience items in it's inventory as upgrades, and equip them. Same for when you switch a bot from a pvp spec back to a pve spec - the resilience penalty will encourage the bot to switch back to the best available pve gear._ **Resilience Weighting After all per-spec weights are generated in GenerateBasicWeights(), a global resilience modifier is applied unconditionally:** **PvP specs: +7.0 resilience weight — strongly prioritizes resilience gear Non-PvP specs: −3.0 resilience weight — actively discourages resilience gear Resilience is additionally excluded entirely from trinket slot scoring via SetExcludeResilience(true), preventing the PvP resilience bonus from inflating the scores of non-CC trinkets.** _I tried several different numbers here - as high as 10 and as low as 3 for resilience. I ended up with 7 so nearly all specs will slot resilience in every slot EXCEPT for trinkets. I stopped weighing resilience on trinkets because they ended up being garbage trinkets for the most part - other endgame pve trinkets were way more impactful. In my testing, the only class/specs that wont use 100% resilience gears are the tanks, since defense rating/parry/block/dodge weights are so high._ **CC-Break Trinket Cache At server startup, PlayerbotFactory::BuildCcBreakTrinketCache() queries the world database for all trinkets (InventoryType=12, Quality≥2) whose spell IDs include spell 42292 — the CC-break / PvP trinket effect shared by items like Medallion of the Alliance/Horde. Results are sorted by item level descending and cached in a static vector, ready for fast lookup during gearing.** _This creates a cache of cc trinkets on startup, for this:_ **CC-Break Trinket Force-Equip During InitEquipment(), PvP-specced bots at level 50 or higher (level minimum for autogear to apply trinkets) run a pre-selection pass over ccBreakTrinketCache to find the best CC-break trinket they meet the level requirement and quality limit for. Human and Undead bots are excluded from this — they have racial abilities (Every Man for Himself, Will of the Forsaken) that share the PvP trinket cooldown, making a dedicated trinket redundant.** **If a suitable trinket is found, it is stored as pvpTrinket1 and force-equipped into TRINKET1 before the main gear loop runs. If an item already occupies the slot, it is moved to bags first. The second-chance pass also skips TRINKET1 when pvpTrinket1 is set, so the CC trinket is never overwritten.** _This is the catch-all forced pvp trinket for trinket slot 1. In my testing, I really found out how few cc trinkets there are - most of them are epic, and blue ones start showing up super late in the game. An heirloom patch would really help the lower levels, being able to equip a pvp trinket at level 10 or something. Keep in mind, that if your bot isn't getting a pvp trinket with autogear, make sure they aren't human or undead, and check your config for what quality items are allowed with autogear. NOTE - PVP TRINKET STRATEGIES ARE NOT CURRENTLY CODED, SAME WITH CC RACIALS. They will not break out of stun/cc currently. This is for future updates if/when I make a trinketstrategy._ **Enhancement Shaman Dual Wield Fix Classes like Rogues, Frost DKs, and Fury Warriors have their dual wield capability established through class initialization code in the core. Enhancement Shamans acquire Dual Wield only through a specific talent (spell 30798, learned around level 40), and the bot factory had no code to detect and apply this. The result was that Enhancement Shaman bots would sometimes have their offhand weapon unequipped — despite having the talent. After talents are applied in both InitTalentsTree() and InitTalentsBySpecNo(), the code now checks for spell 30798 and explicitly grants SKILL_DUAL_WIELD and SetCanDualWield(true) when present.** _When testing the weapon speed preferences, I noticed that randombot enhancement shamans were unequipping their offhand randomly. They would just walk around with a single 1-hand weapon. This is because they were not considered in the system as dual wielding, so when initequipment or autoequipupgrades was ran, it would unequip the offhand through a function, despite having the dual wield talent. Looking at the code, the other classes already have this flag (warriors, rogues, dks, hunters) because they didn't acquire it through talents._ **CalculateItem() Slot Awareness StatsWeightCalculator::CalculateItem() now accepts an optional slot parameter (default -1). When provided and the item is a weapon, ApplyWeaponSpeedGovernance() can be called. Both item scoring calls inside InitEquipment() — the candidate scoring loop and the incremental old-item comparison — now pass the current equipment slot.** _This change allows the calculate item function to know what slot it's working with, and that's how it modifies it's decision making for some of the optional features below._ **Holy Paladin Weapon Scoring Fix Prior to this change, Holy Paladin could end up equipping 2H weapons because haste and crit sticks (2H weapons) were outscoring appropriate 1H caster weapons — the item type penalty was not catching them correctly. Holy Paladin is now explicitly added to the dual-wield penalty group (preventing 2H weapons from being viable), excluded from the generic caster 1H penalty (since they use 1H + shield rather than a staff), and given a 0.8x soft preference for 1H weapons.** _In autogear testing, sometimes 2h weps with high crit/haste would win over caster gear - this is especially noticeable at lower levels, with shallower item pools (greens only). You'd hit autogear and the holy paladin would equip a 2h axe with crit :( So this makes it so holy paladins only use 1h weapons. They can use either a shield or an offhand, depending on stat weights._ **PvP Spec Slots Added for All Classes The existing RandomClassSpecProb / RandomClassSpecIndex config entries control what percentage of random bots in the world are assigned each spec. Previously only PvE specs (indices 0–2, or 0–3 for Druids) were defined, giving server operators no way to introduce PvP-specced random bots into the world population. This PR adds PvP spec slots for every class (indices 3–6 depending on class), all defaulting to 0 probability. Server operators can raise these values to spawn PvP-specced random bots — e.g., setting RandomClassSpecProb.1.3 = 20 would make 20% of Warrior bots run Arms PvP. Two additional PvE specs have also been added: Death Knight index 3: Double-aura Blood (a hybrid Blood/Frost PvE tank variant) Mage index 3: Frostfire (a PvE hybrid spec) All existing spec entries have been annotated with comments identifying each one (e.g., # arms pve, # holy pve) for readability.** _This change was actually added at the start - I realized that there was no way for pvp-specced randombots to spawn naturally, so I added optional probabilities to the config. They are currently set at 0% by default, but giving the user the option I feel is necessary. Also, it would have been impossible for me to test the init on randombots with pvp gear otherwise. Also, I noticed that the frostfire mage and the dual-aura dk didn't have an option, so I added them in as well, as well as names above each option for quality of life._ **Stat Weight Corrections The following per-spec stat weights were adjusted to better reflect actual WotLK priorities. Entries marked NEW did not previously exist; unmarked rows show old → new values.** <img width="795" height="268" alt="arms warrior" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb0deb00-a985-432d-81a1-133fc953088b" /> _Arms warriors would prefer leather/ap gear about half of the time - the combined weights of both would often beat strength gear, especially at lower levels, or where the item pool was shallow. Also, they continued to spawn with spell power gear and defense gear occasionally, especially on gear with resilience (resilience, spell power, crit, haste, stam items)._ <img width="796" height="301" alt="fury warrior" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/715ff3a3-3d20-4e0e-a953-7ed6fd9386db" /> _Fury warriors had the same issues as arms warrior, but really can't afford to lose a strength item - beserker stance increases strength by 20%. Also had to reduce haste here because haste really isn't nearly as important as strength, crit, arp. Haste items would win often over strength/crit/arp gear._ <img width="796" height="300" alt="prot tanks" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/624de09a-2506-4aee-95aa-c49cbc5b85d3" /> _So, prot paladins and prot warriors currently are weighed identically fyi. Look at that whopping 2.0 agility - twice as important as strength? I noticed that my prot paladins/warriors were equipping agility/haste/crit items instead of defense gear on their neck, rings, trinkets, and back. This adjustment pretty much ensures that defense gear takes those slots if it's available. Removed the crit/haste weightings, because realistically if a tank wants more damage, it will just get strength. Lastly added the spell power penalty because prot paladins would spawn in fully holy gear if they were pvp specced (resilience is weighted so high, resilience/spellpower/stam/haste gear would often win). This aims to prevent that._ <img width="802" height="421" alt="dps dks" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/371d1344-2382-4460-b3a7-f38b33025b73" /> _Same issue with plate dps as the warriors had. Spell power gear would occasionally spawn on crit/hit items in pve, and a ton of spell power resilience gear would spawn. There is no scenario where a DK wants spell power, this isn't patch 3.0.1..._ <img width="796" height="447" alt="blood dk" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c84a2bbf-7daa-4805-acf3-cd3bf815eda4" /> _Similar issues to prot paladin/warrior. I was really tired of seeing block rating/value gear as a result of getting gear with defense/stam. This results in a lot more defense rating/expertise/hit/dodge/parry gear, and basically makes shield stats nearly non-existent (unless the upgrade is good enough, it could still win)_ <img width="794" height="226" alt="ret paladin" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b09f40ed-b25f-4945-940c-2ce92f81c7c4" /> _Prior to this PR, the positive spellpower and int weights were enough for ret paladins to spawn with spellpower/int/haste/crit gear. This is unlikely now. And agility/ap was reduced to favor more strength gear._ <img width="795" height="306" alt="Enhancement Shaman" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e5231fd-36ea-4b7e-a546-cf0075d17bd4" /> _While spell power is a decent stat on enhancment shamans, it was appearing on too much gear, especially on items that were haste/crit/spell power. And for elemental shamans, they were getting agi/haste/crit gear, so this aims to get rid of those items entirely without reducing haste/crit._ <img width="800" height="119" alt="shaman pally" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6ea3300a-effd-4a03-8f6f-4ae13c5383a5" /> _Holy paladins and resto shamans are scored the same, but this prevents attack power/haste/crit gear, since haste and crit are weighted high._ <img width="1025" height="385" alt="mage" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/03191dfd-dc09-477d-8424-8fd56f3e0d71" /> _Prevents mages from equipping/autogearing items with attack power, some attack power/crit/haste/hit items were winning with shallow item pools._ <img width="1022" height="502" alt="hunter rogue" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/06fa67c9-7709-4ee8-a0e2-34de18594018" /> _Prevents hunters and rogues from getting spell power leather gear with hit/crit. Crit is very heavy for hunters so this was decently common._ **Optional Changes (Config-Controlled)** **AiPlayerbot.PreferClassArmorType (default: 0) Applies a 3x score multiplier to armor matching the bot's class-appropriate type (plate/mail/leather/cloth). A significantly better off-type item can still win — this is a soft preference, not a hard filter.** _Are you tired of your fury warrior being a leather daddy? Are you tired of your holy paladin running around in cloth lingerie? This will fix that. For mail classes (hunters/shamans) and plate classes, this only kicks in after level 40. But it really helps adhere to the highest armor class available. This would be the perfect solution to the quarterly question "Why is my paladin wearing leather?". This definitely should remain optional, as quite a few BIS lists would disagree with it. Leather at certain stages is great for hunters/shamans/warriors/dks._ **AiPlayerbot.AutogearAllowsQuestRewards (default: 0) Builds a cache of equippable armor and weapon quest rewards at startup. Bots can then equip these items during autogear, using the quest's minimum level as the effective required level gate.** _So, I noticed that autogear didn't allow items without a level requirement (quest rewards), because it didn't know how to handle that when giving out gear. It would previously just flat out reject all quest rewards, as they wouldn't be a part of the item pool. This option enables quest rewards to be considered in the item pool, and the level correlates to the lowest level you could get the quest. I have tested this for about 3 hours across all specs and using blue/green gear, it seems like a really nice bonus. Keep in mind that I do 0 quests on my way to 80, so players like me could still benefit from those items. I think this should remain optional._ **AiPlayerbot.EquipAllSlotsAtAnyLevel (default: 0) Bypasses the low-level slot restrictions in InitEquipment(): Trinkets normally locked until level 50 Head/Neck until level 30 Rings until level 20 All other non-weapon slots until level 5** _Autogear currently has level floors for slots - they will not ever give items below the above thresholds. This config option bypasses that. I have not tested this as much as I should have, so as people test this, they could let us know of items that should be blacklisted._ **AiPlayerbot.WeaponSpeedGovernance (default: 0) When enabled, ApplyWeaponSpeedGovernance() applies a 3x score multiplier to weapons matching the spec's ideal attack speed profile. Applies to mainhand, offhand, and ranged slots only. Per-spec preferences: Arms Warrior: Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand; poleaxes and axes preferred (Axe Specialization) Ret Paladin / Blood & Unholy DK: Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand Prot Warrior & Paladin: Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in mainhand Fury Warrior dual wield: Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands Fury Warrior titan's grip: Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in both hands Frost DK: Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands; 2H excluded Enhancement Shaman (dual wield): Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands; synchronized MH/OH speeds for flurry procs Enhancement Shaman (pre-dual wield): Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand Combat Rogue: Slow MH (>=2600ms) + Fast OH (<=1500ms) Assassination / Subtlety Rogue: Slow dagger MH (>=1700ms) + Fast dagger OH (<=1500ms) Hunter: Slow ranged (>=2600ms); melee is a stat stick, speed ignored Feral Druid: No preference (forms normalize attack speed)** _Besides pvp gearing for pvp specs, I feel like this is one of the nicest additions. It was really frustrating to see an enhancement shaman put windfury on a 1.5 dagger. Without this, weights for melee dps are calculated on dps alone, not weapon speed. You'll see 2h specs use fast 2h weapons (3.0), rogues use 2 fast weapons or slow weapons, frost dks occasionally using 2h weapons while having dual wield talents. I tested this for about 6 hours across all mentioned specs at levels 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80, with 3 quality types (greens, blues, purples). I would actually consider making this mandatory, simply because of the impact I saw in the dps charts. Super happy and proud of this._ <img width="1021" height="470" alt="files changes" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f55d955c-8760-4adf-b4d9-84797da2dc65" /> ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. _Two caches are built upon startup - the pvp trinket cache and the quest reward cache. From there, this directly modifies the stat weight calculations involving initequipement (autogear) and autoequipupgrades, as both go off of stat weight calculations. I tried to implement these changes with as little custom functions and coding as possible, and relied as much as I could on the pre-existing framework._ - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. _Fortunately most of the gates are boolean so it shouldn't impact performance much at all. I ran these changes on my local server with stock 500 bots, noticed no pmon difference from the main branch. Did a 24h stress test on my server yesterday, stats looked consistent with the stress test I did prior to making any changes on 3-31-26._ _It helps that it uses pre-existing functions such as initequipment and autoequipupgrades, and it really just modifies them with slightly more logic. That being said, autogear didn't lag my server at all, nor did the bots equipping upgrades._ ## How to Test the Changes <!-- - Step-by-step instructions to test the change. - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific configuration). - Expected behavior and how to verify it. --> _So, with the basic stock playerbots config (do not forget to copy the new config!), the only thing that should change is the pvp gear appearing on pvp specs, and the classes preferring more appropriate stats across the board. You can load into the game, level a bot to 20, autogear, and notice the difference. Same at level 40, 60, 75, or whatever. You could add in the optional config settings to further streamline the gear you want. I currently run with all 4 enabled, 2 of which increase the item pool, and 2 of which help guide them to more appropriate gear (armor/weps)._ ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) _The code is only used on startup (cache generation) and when autogear/autoequipupgrades is called.

The old PRs I made introduced just as many new bugs as they did features. I learned my lesson, and have tested this extensively (code was pretty much complete on 4-10-26, been testing alone for the last 11 days) and it's ready for the test realm for others to try out. I think it's going to be a good step forward when it comes to gear decision making for bots as a whole.

clean up for DropQuestAction (#2326)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
I was getting annoyed by the constant "No event owner detected" message
after I enabled bot debugging messaging.
And then I figured that there is no reason that maintenance should
trigger this action every 5 seconds. So I swapped it to seldom, so it
runs every 5 mins. More Performance!
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [x] No, not at all
- - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)
## AI Assistance
<!--
AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully
understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.
We expect contributors to be honest about what they do and do not
understand.
-->
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)
<!--
If yes, please specify:
- Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code
generation).
- Which parts of the change were influenced or generated, and whether it
was thoroughly reviewed.
