Ovale Spell Priority is a rotation-helper addon that shows you what spell or ability you should use in order to maximize your damage.
It displays one or more icons that show the cooldown of an action. The action is conditionally defined through a user-defined script, e.g. you may display either Corruption if the DoT is not on your target or Shadow Bolt if the Corruption DoT is already on your target.
Default scripts are based on SimulationCraft. You may also customize the default script to suit your needs (see Documentation) or use scripts made by other users. Tank scripts based on guides from icy-veins.com are maintained by the Ovale_TankScripts addon.
Please use the Discord Server to submit scripts or discuss them. If you want to report bugs, use the ticket manager. You may contribute code on our Github project or help with translation.
See the video of a survival hunter using Ovale during Wrath of the Lich King.
Features
- Tracks DoTs, buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, combo points, runes, mana -- everything that a player would need to decide what to do.
- Adapts to your talents.
- 100% configurable: everything is in an easy-to-understand script that you can modify and test in real-time without reloading your UI.
- Compatible with the action icon skinning library Masque.
- Use SpellFlashCore to flash abilities on action bars in addition, or as an alternative, to displaying the ability icons.
FAQ
How closely are the default scripts based on SimulationCraft?
The SimulationCraft APL language and the Ovale script language are functionally very similar and concepts from one can be translated into the other in a very direct and mechanical way. For all intents and purposes, the default scripts are the SimulationCraft APLs imported into the game and displayed visually.
Why is the key binding displayed for an action wrong?
You may be running an action bar addon, e.g., Bartender4, etc., that does not use the Blizzard action bar frames.
Why is the icon sometimes red?
The cooldown that is displayed in an icon is not always the true action cooldown. If this cooldown is longer than the action cooldown, then the icon is red. In most cases, it means that if you use this action too soon, then you will overwrite or clip a DoT, which may not be what you want.
How do I make the spells flash on the action bar?
Simply install SpellFlashCore (included if you install SpellFlash) and Ovale will use it to flash the spell to cast on the action bar in addition to displaying the spell in the Ovale icon bar.
Why can't I click on the icon to cast the spell?
Blizzard does not allow this. Only a predefined sequence of spells can be bound to an action icon and this sequence can not change in combat.
On my low-level character, there is nothing at all.
You need to reach level 10 and choose a specialization. However, be aware that the default Ovale scripts are tuned for max-level characters and you may be missing key abilities at low levels that are assumed to exist. If the default script is not working for you, you will need to find or write a script more appropriate for your character's level.
What are the three icons to the right of the major icon group in the Ovale_Serenity screenshot, and how are these set up?

Hi,
I feel really silly but I'm not sure what the buttons are from left to right-is there somewhere this is documented?
In reply to zion6:
short cooldowns -> single target rotation -> aoe rotation -> long cooldowns
Bonjour tout le monde. / Hello everyone.
Je souhaite vous signaler un problème avec la spécialisation du chevalier de la mort impie , rien ne s'affiche tant qu'on utilise pas l'armée des morts ou le sort apocalypse ce problème a commencé à paraître à la fin de l'extension légion . Si c'est possible de l'améliorer ce serait cool en tout cas vous faites un super travail un grand bravo et surtout un grand merci à vous les gars continuez comme ça.
I want to point out a problem with the specialization of the knight of the unholy death, nothing is displayed until we use the army of the dead or the fate apocalypse this problem began to appear at the end of the legion extension . If it is possible to improve it would be cool anyway you do a great job a big congratulations and especially a big thank you to you guys continue like this.
Hello,
First, at all, I want to thank you for an outstanding addon.
Is there any option (or anyone knows how to) attach buttons to target nameplate?

I notice there haven't been any more comments since a couple weeks ago. Is the most recent version of Ovale working for people? Especially Aff Warlocks? I asks 'cuz it hasn't worked for me, while older versions still do. I'm wondering if it's a conflict with something else in my system or not.
Outlaw Rogue here..
8.0.26 ran great, love the addon. With the latest release 8.0.27 the Rogue scripts are broken, especially outlaw. You get the following error:
Warning: requirement '1' has no registered handler; FAILING requirement.
Any thoughts?
I must have something wrong in the setup. The "suggested spells" action bar does not show up automatically when combat starts. I need to go into setup and move the bar a bit for it to show. Any suggestions?
In reply to tatesd:
Affliction warlock, here. The last couple of Ovale versions, it’s suggesting I apply Agony, even though it’s already applied and has a long duration left (much more than 5 seconds). I wasn’t sure if this was a bug or intentional. Would Ovale suggest I apply Agony under these or similar circumstances?
Please let me know, and thanks very much for this excellent addon!
I am currently playing a mage. If I click on Rune of Power when not in combat I get the following error -

If I am in combat and use Rune of Power the error doesn't happen.
I'm playing WoW again after a pretty long break, and after I get some toons to max level, I will try to improve the scripts. While the action lists from SimulationCraft are automatically translated into Ovale scripts, the spell database needs to be hand-tuned to match the in-game experience. For what it's worth, the two specs I'm currently leveling up are feral druid and destruction warlock. I will need to talk to Sidoine about commit access to the GitHub repository at some point, but it's not necessary at the moment.
Elemental shaman have a bug where it will tell us to put down a the totem mastery right after it was put down. Also, the flame debuff seems to come up to frequently
Hello,
I'm playing my arcan mage after a long time again and maybe this question is silly for the pro's
As far as I know the "Arcane Familiar" is a buff now which lasts an hour - but I have it permanently in the both medium buttons of this mod and did not find a way to change that - help would be nice
Protadin is showing Consecration as highest priority even when you're still standing in the last cast (basically cast on cd.) anyone know how to fix this?
Discipline Priest dont have any scripts.
