WHEN SUBMITTING AN ISSUE:

Please provide the following information. Leaving it out may result in your ticket being ignored (because I won't have the information needed to explore your report).

1. The information from the Issue Reporting tab ( /hekili > Issue Reporting ). This provides your talent and gear information. You can paste it to pastebin.com and provide a link here.

PUT ISSUE REPORT LINK HERE:

2. If reporting a disagreement with the addon's recommendations, please take a snapshot when you observe the issue and provide the snapshot. This is not a screenshot. A snapshot can be generated by binding the Pause feature on the Toggles tab. When you press Pause, a snapshot of how the addon decided on its CURRENT recommendations is generated and saved to the Snapshots tab. Copy and paste this to pastebin.com and provide the link here.

PUT SNAPSHOT LINK HERE:

3. If reporting an error (i.e., the addon freezes and/or disables itself), please install the BugSack and BugGrabber addons as they will enable you to paste the exact error message, with detail that will help me identify where the code error is located. You can paste the error information here or use pastebin.com for that as well.

PUT ERROR MESSAGE(S) HERE:

Sorry, brotha. To busy with family to post all this information. Pretty simple issue to describe though. Consistent FPS whole fight until Drain Soul becomes my next talent to cast. Once Drain Soul starts channeling my FPS tanks about 30FPS. Once it's done, FPS goes right back to normal.

Something is up with Drain Soul in the latest version. Have a good one man and look forward to the next update!

i also have this problem only on warlock affliction , also i can say boss encounters do trigger alot of performance issue until u pause it

Still has to be properly reported. Update and provide the missing info.

I have two changes in that should reduce CPU usage.

1. I revised the APL to avoid rechecking the darkglare_prep list multiple times each time the recommendations are iterated upon. This is in 1.0.12.

2. In 1.0.13-beta1, I've added a "Manage Drain Soul Ticks" checkbox for Affliction, defaulting to false. If checked, the addon models the application of Shadow Embrace with each tick of Drain Soul. That is the other CPU intensive piece that isn't particularly beneficial when generating recommendations. If checked, the addon will use more CPU to try to time channel breakage along with Drain Soul ticks. If left unchecked, the addon only has to check if it has a recommendation before Drain Soul ends or after Drain Soul ends.
