CombatCoach — Rotation Helper & Tracker Addon Suite
(formerly Pouls Tools)
CombatCoach is a suite of tools designed to help improve your rotation and awareness. Blizzard has added their own combat assistant and cooldown manager, but often times they are incomplete, flat wrong, or just not customizable enough. That's where CombatCoach comes in. CombatCoach Augments the information available in Blizzards baked in tools to consider things they don't and allow you to track a lot of info blizz doesn't.
Rotation Helper
A single-spell suggestion display that improves on Blizzard's Assisted Combat system.
- Displays the Assisted Combat suggestion by default for classes where it makes sense — zero configuration required
- For specs that experience issues it provides overrides to the reccomendation system
- Has a handy graphical tool for building your priorities.
- Includes baked in conditions for common checks, plugin support for class specific procs (growing list daily), and custom Lua expression condition support
- Override code lets you update your rotational priorities real time.

Why Override Blizz's Recommendations?
- What's overridden and why?
- Windwalker Monk - SBA = unplayable
- Blizz recommends Touch of death when someone around can be touch of death'd not when your current target can be.
- During zenith Blizz doesn't change the rotation to account for not generally needing to build chi with tiger palm
- Blizz always recommends spending chi even when Fists of Fury is off cooldown
- General flow improvements
- Beast Mastery Hunter - SBA = generally not bad, but subtle improvements help.
- Improved AoE Rotation
- Blizz's SBA always wants to recommend something usable so it will recommend cobra shot even when using it will cost you dps
- SBA doesn't delay Wailing Arrow to get the extra black arrow.
