Face Smasher
Version 1.3
What is it:
A priority system for Death Knights. It analyzes your runes and runic power, as well as the status of your diseases, and suggests what you should be casting next.
It gives up to 5 separate suggests. The middle (largest) suggestion is for single target max dps. The right suggestion is for AoE dps/tanking. The left suggest is a defensive suggestion. The mid-left suggestion is for Rune Strike / Horn of Winter, and the mid-right suggestion is for spell interruption. You still have to pick which direction you want to go at the moment, but Face Smasher tries to show you your best options.
This does not replace your spell bars. This addon is not click-able or bind-able in any way, nor will it ever be. It's a mere suggestion.
Now should support all languages. Full notes under Changes. Feedback on non-English languages would be appreciated as I don't have a way to test it.
To click through the addon, go into the options and lock it into place. You can then target mobs etc right through it
1.3 Update for WoW 3.1!!!
Should be mostly working with 3.1 changes now. A large chunk of the code has been vastly improved. Disease detection should be PREFECT now due to Bliz finally fixing a few things that prevented it before.
I'm pushing this out a little early, it's functional, but I have a few large improvements planned for the next release.
On this release, if you notice any BUGS let me know. Avoid feature requests right now until I get my own feature list done.
FYI if you have Dancing Rune Weapon, Face Smasher uses the following logic: If DRW is off cooldown, it will not suggest runic skills. Once you reach 100 runic power (130 from talents not supported yet) it will suggest DRW in the Misc window (top left) and unlock runic suggestions in the main window.
1.29 Update
Fixed a bug with glyphing
Attempt two at fixing SS glyph. Not perfect, but should work most of the time. Someone owes me a 50g respec and a few glyphs.
Unholy Blight knows it's place in the world again.
1.28 Update
Fixed a bug with parry/dodge on it/ps
Minor update to 1.26 which the file never went live, so check the 1.26 notes as well
Possibly works correctly with SS glyph now... maybe.
Fixed a possible nil error reported in comments
Support for 32 RP frost strike glyph.
Freezing Fog (rime procs) should be supported. They should have been before but I think I found a bugfix with it. Lemme know.
1.26 Update
Multiple updates for 3.0.8 changes
Small fix if you're prioritizing IT for death runes so that your UF skill will still be suggested appropriately.
Fix for multiple DK's in a group updating their diseases. The SS glyph is not supported at this time due to limitations of the combat log information and the randomness of the proc.
Unholy blight will be suggested in the middle and attempt to keep high up time.
Probably a couple other small things I forgot about over the past few weeks.
1.25 Update
A few bug fixes including Summon Gargoyle working again and a level check on blood tap.
Support for a few more specs including 0/32/39 which I'm rocking now. Up to over 2k gold in respecs, woo!
Highly suggest everyone update to this version.
Random Things:
- /facesmasher or /fs for options. More options will come with later releases.
- Should now (version 1.2) support all languages.
- It analyzes your talents. It knows if you have any of the talent strikes, or shields, lichborne and rune tap. It knows if you have cooldown reducing talents.
- It notices if your diseases are removed for whatever reason, including in pvp.
- It notices your spread of diseases via pestilence. Tabbing or switching targets will not confuse it.
- If you've summoned a gargoyle it will not tell you to use your runic power for anything else until that's done.
- It will not tell you to summon your gargoyle, your Dancing Rune Weapon, or pop things like Hysteria or Deathchill. You'll have to still think about these things on your own (for now).
- It will not suggest defensively popping Icebound Fortitude if you have a talent shield active. If you have rune tap, it'll suggest that if nothing else is around but currently does not check your health. This will be added soon with an option for a health cutoff. If you have Lichborne it suggests that last as it's the longest defensive cooldown by far.

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 has 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.
