first let me say, great add on. It fixes so many issues about simple mode.
Correct me if I am wrong but it seems that sonic strike is on a higher priority than divine blade. So if you are trying to cast your second divine blade at the end of sentry stance (2 extra sec badge) it will be more likely to work if you DON'T have any moonspark stacks. The ability is reportedly hard to manage at different pings with different amounts of salvos in between divine blades
Thing about that is ...
I didnt touch priority of divine strike nor i checked if divine strike has lower prior then sonic strike(ill look up for this tho)
Mainly cuz this never happened to me while using my addon.But maybe its happening to you cuz you are not using my other addon that removes "unpress" key status from divine strike.(divine strike and stage 1 and 2 are 3 different skills)Stage 1 appears rly late so thats why its causing you to use sonic when your sentry stance ends. (this can be caused by your bad timing or simply bad ping)
For me it works fine and im doing DIVINE > STAGE 1 > 4xSALVO>DIVINE>STAGE 1
But sometimes when ping goes autismo i do DIVINE > STAGE 1 > 3xSALVO > DIVINE > STAGE 1 > 1xSALVO(mainly in raids)
But ty for pointing this out !
Advantages of Simple Mode over Normal Mode are :
- Skills don't display if you have not enough Focus to cast it (maybe not enough HP, not tested). Some rare skills are not greyed when you don't have enough focus, like Bullet Storm on Shadow Gunslinger, so they show up EVEN if you don't have enough Focus. I really think it's BnS bug.
- A lot of skills don't display if they are in CD, even if the description says "instant" (mostly skills that are in Simple Mode rotation). Some not, like Awakened Dragon Call on Warlock.
- Skills don't display if they need target and you have no target
The main difference between Normal and Simple is about the behaviour of "condition" in the XML.
I'll suggest you to mod Simple Mode instead of Normal Mode, you will have more possibilities like adding LMB to rotation without covering lower skills. You could copy-pasta your Normal Mode into Simple Mode and mod it as you wish.
First did u test this addon which i made?Or you are just speaking in theory?
Second skills in simple mode are tottaly dfferent in nature...They have something different that makes them go away when they are on cd or appear after certain skill...
Also regarding to "simple mode adventages" my war normal mode addon doesnt have any problem that u stated which in simple mode never happen
you will never see sonic strike appear if theres no target
you will never see skill appear if you dont have enough focus / HP
Adding LMB in simple mode is same as putting LMB on RMB in normal mode it will perma cover all other skills placed on RMB cuz LMB that we know is normal one that doesnt dissapper if you want it to dissapper you will have to dig on your own and figure out how this skills go away if they are on cd or after certain skill (thing is its not in XML cuz if it is in XML ppl would find this long time ago)
I hope that this clears your view of NORMAL mode as something not worth working on
