Joust do it!

Automatic swapping to and from Lances and weapons during Jousting.

Joust do it! Joust in case you find yourself jousting, and need your weapons equipped joust in time... Lol... I went too far on that pun and killed it.

Oh well, it was great:

With the most recent patch, Blizzard fixed the instance so you no longer require that instant switch to weapons (unless you ran out right away). I may still maintain the project though, since that little bit of automation may help in cases where you forget to equip weapons. I have had healers who realize after a wipe that they didn't switch.

Anyway, long story short, with the most recent patch this small addon has become even less significant. Personally, I still continue to use it.

Titan Grip support: (new in v3.2.0.1)

Warriors with the Titan Grip talent are probably aware of how much of a pain Jousting is. Unlike the rest of us, they can't simply equip the Lance, they first have to unequip their Off Hand (if it's a Two-Hander). Joust Do It! has been updated to work around this issue. Follow the instructions below for automatic lance equipping (under the Functionality heading). Joust Do It! will automatically put your Off Hand in your bags, then swap in the Lance. Once finished Jousting, Joust Do It! will equip both your weapons again.

If your Off Hand weapon is not a Two-Handed weapon, then Joust Do It! will still function normally; only swapping the Main Hand.

Donations:

As always my donation policy is simple. The button is there for you to use IF YOU WANT TO. Aside from this brief message, I will never ask, demand or beg for donations. You should never feel as if you must donate. I will never threaten to cease development solely due to lack of donations. However, I do greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Additionaly, it is important to note that this is not a registered charity. Therefore, any and all donations are NOT tax deductible.

Joust Do It! slash commands:

Show the Joust Do It! GUI (options): /joustdoit, /joust

Functionality:

To start jousting, do ONE of the following:

• Manually equip a Lance and go into a Jousting vehicle like normal. Nothing fishy at all
  ***OR***
  
• Keep a Lance in your bags, and spam right click on the Jousting vehicle. Joust Do It! will automatically equip the Lance, then mount the vehicle.

To stop jousting:

• Stop any way you like. If you leave the vehicle manually, the vehicle dies, or any other case, Joust Do It! will automically equip the weapon that your Lance replaced. This swap should happen just as your feet hit the ground. If you'd like, you can also manually equip your weapon to leave the mount; but that'd defeat the purpose of Joust Do It!

If you have Joust Do It! automatically equip your Lance, but you don't have one in your bags, Joust Do It! will alert you in a "Raid Warning" type fasion that you need to get to a Lance Rack!

Fail-safe:

Joust Do It! has a fail-safe in case, for whatever reason, you have a lance equipped when you shouldn't. It checks if you have a Lance equipped while not in a vehicle (the Joust mounts are vehicles). If this is true AND you target an enemy unit, then Joust Do It! will equip your last known weapon as if you just left the vehicle.

Settings:

• Swap to weapon when targeting an enemy unit.
  • This option toggles the Fail-safe, which is described in a section above.

• Auto dismount when equipping lance.
  • This option is just a convenience option. It will automatically dismount you if you try to enter a jousting vehicle while mounted. It does not work if you already have a lance equipped.

-Fixed an issue that prevented Warriors with Titan Grip from enjoying Joust Do It!
-Bug: Fixed an issue with the fail-safe that would cause JDI to equip your weapons prematurely if you targeted an enemy while entering a jousting vehicle. (Usually happened in TOC)
-Bug: Fixed an issue that would prevent an error from displaying if JDI did not know what weapon to equip when dismounting.
-Bug: Fixed a Lua Error that would display if JDI was searching for your weapon and you had none equipped.
-Performance: JDI now filters certain events that do not involve the player.
