  • About PoisonSwapper
  •  

PoisonSwapper manages weapon swaps for maximum poison damage by automatically swapping in a weapon with instant or wound poison to your offhand when you have a 5 stack of Deadly Poison up with more than 5 seconds remaining. This allows you to use a damage poison, like Wound or Instant as is appropriate to your spec in order to achieve maximum throughput.

This can result in a 300 DPS gain for a BIS combat rogue, and a 600 DPS gain for a BIS Mutilate rogue.

To use it, just poison your primary offhand with Instant or Wound Poison as appropriate, and a secondary offhand with Deadly. Your Instant/Wound hand should have better uptime, so you generally want that weapon to be your better one, and your Deadly weapon should be fast, due to Deadly's flat 30% (before talents) proc rate. The mod does the rest and automatically swaps weapons for you. You can toggle it on and off with /ps, or by clicking the included LDB entry.

PoisonSwapper supports a PVP mode, as well, which will equip poisons with the priority: Crippling -> Mind Numbing (If caster target. This includes ret paladins and enhance shaman at the moment, unfortunately) -> Damage Poison. It is automatically enabled against PVP targets, and can be forced on (for something like faction champs) with /ps pvp. Do be aware that in a PVP environment, where poisons are often removed, this will cause you to be on the GCD a lot and might potentially be an overall strategic loss. Usage is left to the user's discretion.

  • /ps boss - Toggle on boss-only. Boss-only will only use Deadly poison on boss mobs, damage poison on others. Default Off.
  • /ps debug - Toggle debug mode. Can help identify why the addon may not be working. Default Off.
  • /ps [pvp/pve/auto] - Force PvP, PvE, or Auto mode. Default is Auto.
  • /ps toggle - Toggle PoisonSwapper on and off.
  • /ps time <number> - Set the number of seconds at which to swap back to your primary poison. Default 5.

Finally, PoisonSwapper includes an intelligent swing estimator, and will attempt to only equip weapons immediately following a white mainhand swing. Changing weapons resets your swing timer on both hands, so swapping halfway through a mainhand swing timer is rather expensive. This causes PoisonSwapper to produce superior overall DPS compared to poison swapping macros or manual swapping.

    Is there any chance of this addon being functional with 3.3? I know it's not as important with the new poison features, but it was still nice...

    No chance, no. Blizzard specifically broke it.

    Very disappointed. PoisonSwapper no longer works. Tried loading old version (4.7) and that will not work either.
    Please fix this addon - it really helps.
    Thanks :o)

  • I loaded the latest version of this addon and it said 3.3 discounted. Now it shows up nowhere. /ps toggle brings up nothing. I think its broken? It was a nice addon, not sure what happened, it's almost like it never loaded but its in my interface/addon folder.

    It disables itself if loaded in a 3.3 client. Blizzard specifically broke the addon in 3.3.

    I dont get it, why did you disabled it if 3.3 is detected?

    From 3.3 patch notes: "Deadly Poison now has an additional effect - Once stacked to 5 times, each application of Deadly Poison also causes the poison on the Rogue's other weapon to apply." It's no longer beneficial to swap.

    "Make PoisonSwapper commit seppuku when a 3.3 client is detected" awwww. I had to look up what seppuku ment!

    thanks for this was a great addon, but 3.3 patch will kill it. however there might be a new interesting need for weaponswapping in 3.3 and it could possibly be done by just editing this.
    http://ptr.wowhead.com/?spell=59625
    the idea would be to get 1 oh weapon with that enchant, use it until it procs and swap back to berserking, wait ~40secs and repeat. (at leasat in ptr this enchant has very high proc rate from poisons so it should proc right away).
    but yea, will see when 3.3 hits the live servers

    need to be 80 to use this, or have the best poisons, thats why it doesnt swap for some people, such as my 56 rogue, is becuase the poison i use is weaker, and not the correct name.

    This addon swapped the wrong weapon just because I had poison on it. We are talking "I'm mutilate build and it swapped my mace in."

    Also if the offhand weapon I want to swap is a high speed or low item level it doesn't seem to want to do it. There's something funny about the AI of this mod.

    "Deadly Poison now has an additional effect - Once stacked to 5 times, each application of Deadly Poison also causes the poison on the Rogue's other weapon to apply"

    After installing 3.3.0 patch you can delete this =)
    In any case - thank you for your work !
