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 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 equipment and 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.
- Uses LibButtonGlow-1.0 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. The currently supported action bars are the default UI and Dominos.
Why don't my abilities flash on my action bars?
You may be running an action bar addon, e.g., Bartender4, etc., that does not use the Blizzard action bar frames. The currently supported action bars are the default UI and Dominos.
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.
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.

Just make your own script :)
just wanted to say thank you for this addon. It has helped me bring up my dps and help me remember the rotation of my class. I donated 25.00 dollars to help you continue supporting this addon.
I hope you guys can get Ovale to work with Spellflash again. I have lost a lot of dexterity because of MS but I can still play with the right addons installed and it really helps me stay on top of my rotation.
any reason why in feral druid it shows sunfire in rotation ? and in middle of fight using stealth ?
Apparently SpellFlash is gone. It's not on CurseForge and your link connects to a Wiki that has nothing to do with SpellFlash. Good ad revenue for whomever is listing their streams there though.
Or maybe it is on CurseForge but not in that new piece of garbage addon manager.
CurseForge does not update to the latest version - error occurring all the time!
In reply to mike160770:
Same. Always says "an error has occurred". Twice now I've had to delete Ovale and reinstall manually. CurseForge/Overwolf clearly doesn't seem to like something about Ovale's zip package.
In reply to murdermeal:
Are you using the latest MacOS version? It seems to be linked to this.
WoWUP is reported to be working.
In reply to Coriot:
Good callout, that could be the problem. Will try WoWUP. Thanks.
Till end of november, you have broken the "wait" possibility on spells and textures :
Texture(keg_smash wait=1) lead now to an error
is there a new way to do the same thing with the newest versions ?
i still have to re download the 9.0.11 november version...
I wanted to extend my gratitude by thanking and donating to the creator(s) of this addon. I have played WoW since early 2005. In 2011, my eye sight got worse and I am legally blind. I see well, I just don't see much. I have tunnel vision. This addon has been a massive help to me in game. I'm able to focus more on mechanics while keeping up a decent rotation using this addon. I try to be the best player that I can given my circumstances and this addon helps my dps and to survive mechanics immensely. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so very much for keeping this addon working.
i have been using ovale for years in combination with spell flash without a problem.Since the beginning of shadowlands nothing works.do you have the same problem or do you know at least a temporary solution?
9.0.14 internal version is incorrect shows 9.0.0.0
Until the author of this awesome mod has had time to update things, I've switched over to another, similar addon; Hekili.
Just wanted to tip ya'll off about this temporary solution - I'll be back to Ovale once it updates. <3
Ovale has become pretty useless for my Destro Warlock. It never detects that I have applied Immolate and it frequently tells me to apply spells that I don't have the resources, yet, to cast. It used to be flawless and it absolutely improved my DPS rotation for everything prior to the Shadowlands pre-patch. Now I just have to turn it off because it's always wrong?
In reply to smil3ygirl:
It's being worked on. 9.0 messed up a lot of different classes and due to Shadowlands launching Thanksgiving week in the US, fixes will be slow I think, according to one of the devs in discord.
It still suggests Unstable Affliction spam even though you can apply it just once, otherwise works ok.
Addon only works with the elemental shaman, it is buggy with all other classes!!!!Hunter skills always prompt life-threatening shooting, skills do not display conversion
ERROR:Unknown spell list use_item in spellcooldown（use_item）
