About Bang! Libram Swap

Smart Paladin Libram Swapper for all specs!

2.43.A Status: Alpha (80%). Most functionality restored.

Now localized for English, Traditional Chinese, German, and French clients. Update to 2.42.K!

This mod will swap librams based on your spell cast, maximizing mp5, HPS, mitigation and damage output! :O Best of all, it does this during the spells gcd so you do not incur any downtime!

For Holy Light, if you have the libram of mending, this mod will cast HL with this libram once every 30 seconds (now customisable) for the buff, then use the secondary libram you have selected (LoSR, LoAT, LoTL) while the buff is active.

For Flash of Light, the mod will use your PVE libram of choice in PVE mode, or your PVP libram of choice in PVP mode. It now features automated PVP/PVE combat detection.

When using holy damage spells: this mod will also take advantage of your holy damage librams. (Exorcism, holy wrath, judgement of righteousness, and consecration.)

In Retribution mode, this mod will swap in your Judgement libram of choice in time for the Judgement cooldown, and otherwise have your Crusader Strike libram equipped. Anti GCD detection will abort any swaps that may cause an additional GCD. New advanced libram cycling will swap in both your 200AP buff and 53 crit buff librams as well as your Exorcism libram.

In Protection mode, this mod will swap in your Judgement libram of choice while the Judgement cooldown is up, and otherwise have your Holy Shield libram equipped.

This logic can be overridden by just selecting one libram for each mode.

The Menu can be brought up in game with /bls

PVP/PVE mode can be toggled with /bls pvp, /bls pve for use in macros.

In prot mode /bls aoe and /bls crush will toggle between your holy shield and consecration librams for use in macros.

Credit to: Ladenedge(Holy Librams) for the original idea that I have expanded on

"But I'm just a Holy paladin and I have xx mod": Bang! Libram Swap has features for holy that xx mod does not! Such as; spam proofing your holy light casts, preventing double mending procs, and using your holy spell damage librams.

New in 2.42.K: Spamming quickly while casting Holy Light will no longer cause your 2nd libram to swap in early occasionally. Traditional Chinese localization has been added. Slash commands for protection mode; /bls aoe and /bls crush, to toggle LotER and LoR usage quickly. Advanced 2 step and 3 step retribution cycles, 2 step will swap out LoDJ ( 200AP) for LoA ( 53 crit) for one rotation after it has procced, 3 step will do this and additionally use your crusader strike or exorcism libram (undead/demon detection included). Added the libram of zeal to SotC.

Retribution Cycles Explained: While using the 2 step retribution cycle BLS will equip your LoDJ when you use crusader strike until you proc the 200AP buff using your judgement ability. BLS will then equip your Libram of Avengement on the next crusader strike in time for the next judgement, then return to Libram of DIvine Judgement on the third crusader strike.

The 3 step mode follows a similar cycle, however, if your target is a demon or an undead, and your exorcism cooldown is shorter than your judgement cooldown by at least a GCD, your Libram of Wracking will be equipped, and your Libram of Divine Judgement returned in the GCD caused by casting Exorcism.

To use these modes effectively you *must* use crusader strike and exorcism as soon as they are up.

The Libram of Righteous Power can be used with the 2 step cycle, however, it can cause swing timer issues so it is not recommended.

It is possible to use the 3 step cycle without having the Libram of Avengement, just deselect it after choosing the cycle.

Still to come: Support for shamans and druids. Support for less important librams.

Issues! Libram of Righteous Power can cause gcd/swing issues depending on your rotation: This is known and probably permenant, if your rotation causes these issues I recommend disabling LoRP and using the dual LoA/LoDJ combo instead) ).

First FoL is clipped slightly at high spell haste: this is an unfortunate game mechanic and cant be helped.

Report any bugs (or suspected bugs) you find in a ticket with a detailed description so they can be resolved!

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Update on 2.4.3: Well it looks like this new patch will *not* be the death of this mod, I was able to restore near full functionality of the mod on the PTR with a few minor exceptions (which I am still working on).

The comprimise will be that you will now have to macro commands with your heals, simply "/Cast Holy Light, /BLS Holy Light" and the same for flash. The mod will then function as previously as far as the user is concerned :).

Protection and Retribution functions will remain unchanged.

I will include a guide on how to work this with healing mods such as grid and healbot, for those of you who dont know how to build macros into those, so don't fret!

If the patch is not this week I will upload a beta of 2.43.A for any eager beavers who wish to help me catch any bugs on the PTR.

Beware of work arounds. The problem is that Blizz is trying to stop this and thus will keep doing so until it does not work. So any work around is just temporary. But either way I appreciate your great efforts.

Bad news and good news: 2.4.3 breaks this mod in its current form, I've just been on the PTR and it does indeed cancel your casts when the libram is swapped in.

The good news is that macros that equip librams at the same time as a spell is cast still work! Which means that I should be able to make this mod functional again, or if not, at least restore most of its function. My test version using the new code works on the PTR! xD I will try to have the whole thing down before 2.4.3 is released but no promises :P

2.42.K is now available! Please read the section above about changes and the retribution cycles.

This version contains new advanced cycles for retribution librams, including the option to cycle between the Libram of Divine Judgement (+200AP) and the Libram of Avengement(+53 crit), maximising dps by accounting for the LoDJ's internal cooldown (this should be a much bigger difference than using LoRP - although that will still be available). Exorcism is also included in the ret cycle.

Also added is: the Libram of Zeal, traditional Chinese localization and protection PVP librams for holy shield (these are not tested as I don't have them).

If you experience problems with the protection cycle with this version, ensure that you have any librams you do not have disabled (i.e. look at your prot pvp menu), and that you are tanking with PVE mode enabled.

Edit: 2.42.K1 Fixed the issue with some other mods shrinking the BLS menu.

ok im a prot pally as well and this is a very interesting addon and i like it .. i do understand where the holy shield, and consecreation librams would conflict ..but what about a way to easly turn on and off the mod on the fly like a quick button or something so when doing trash mobs where the Consecration one would be better the mod is off and when in bosses you can have it on for the holy shield/ righteousness combo?

This is an amazing mod.. Thank you so much for putting the effort into coding it!

I just wish (as a Ret Paladin) I was able to use my Arena PVP Librams as well (Libram of Fortitude)

I'll be checking back often for updates, if at all possible it would be a nice addition to an already amazing mod!

Thanks for the feedback on the Retribution mode, I believe that this is now working properly.

Hello Bangerz and thanx for you work.
I have 1 idea for this addon.
In Retribution mode, we nedd next functions:
In this moment Retri palas have 2 strong librams: "Libram of Avengement" and "Libram of Divine Judgement".
The "Libram of Divine Judgement" is a main equiped libram.
Then "Libram of Divine Judgement" is proc, pala have buff for 200 AP for 10 sec. Chanse refreshing whis buff on next Judgment is very small.
I think, thiss addon, can analize moment then pala have 200 AP buff and swap "Libram of Divine Judgement" and "Libram of Avengement". This swapping give pala 52 crit rating on next Judgment. After 200 AP buff is off, swapp librams on start positions.
Sry for bad Eng.

Great work. This addon is an excellent idea. I have just one little thing for the wishlist:
Unfortunately I only own the "Blessed Book of Nagrand" and the "Libram of Souls Redeemed". BLS correctly switches between them as intended, but after casting a HL to a BoL buffed player, the addon doesn´t switch back to the Book of Nagrand if I start casting HL on a player without BoL.
Thats because I don´t have the Libram of Absolut Truth or the Libram ot Lightbringer (which I think would be choosen by the addon).
Is it possible to make both Librams deselectable (LoAT and LotL), so the book of Nagrand is used for HL on players without BoL?

@Mirabell

Blessed Book of Nagrand does not have any effect on Holy Light, that is why the mod is not swapping it in.

I suggest you complete the quest for the libram of the lightbringer, or hand in some Badges for a libram of mending.

Got it, I probably posted a bit early while I was playing with the addon.

I had previously been using Healbot, with macros built around the old aftercast mod.

I had Libram of Mending tied to Holy Light 4, just what I was familiar with.

I worked with it again in a quick Kara run, did not have a single global cooldown issue. Nice addon.
