• ✅ All 3 specializations implemented
• ⚠️ Needs: Advanced totem management, maelstrom system improvements

DemonHunter - LIKELY COMPLETE

Status: Recently implemented, likely complete

• ✅ All 2 specializations implemented
• ℹ️ Note: Recently created from scratch, should be high quality

Implementation Quality Standards

High Quality Implementation Checklist:

• ✅ Specialization pattern with base class + 2-4 specializations
• ✅ Multi-phase rotation systems (6-10 phases per spec)
• ✅ Advanced resource management specific to class
• ✅ Comprehensive metrics and performance tracking
• ✅ Emergency handling and defensive systems
• ✅ Positioning and target selection optimization
• ✅ 1000+ lines per specialization minimum
• ✅ Debug logging throughout decision-making

Classes Meeting Full Quality Standards:

1. DeathKnight (created from scratch)
2. Hunter (created from scratch)
3. Rogue (created from scratch)
4. Evoker (refactored to specialization pattern)
5. Monk (refactored to specialization pattern)
6. Warrior (created from scratch - Phase 1 completion)
7. Warlock (created from scratch - Phase 1 completion)

Next Steps Priority Order

✅ Phase 1: Critical Missing Implementations - COMPLETED

1. ✅ Warrior: Created FurySpecialization.cpp and ProtectionSpecialization.cpp
2. ✅ Warlock: Created DemonologySpecialization.cpp and DestructionSpecialization.cpp
3. ✅ Warrior/Warlock: Created missing base class implementations

✅ Phase 2: Base Class Implementations - COMPLETED

4. ✅ Mage: Created MageSpecialization.cpp base class
5. ✅ Druid: Created DruidSpecialization.cpp base class

🔄 Phase 3: Quality Enhancement (CURRENT PRIORITY)

Following Sprint 3C plan and addressing backlog 3B.8: 6. Priest: Enhance with advanced systems (atonement, DoT management) 7. Paladin: Enhance with advanced holy power management 8. Shaman: Enhance with advanced totem/maelstrom systems 9. Mage: Enhance specializations with advanced mechanics 10. Druid: Enhance specializations with improved form management

Development Guidelines

For Missing Implementations:

• Follow the established pattern from complete classes (Hunter, Rogue, Evoker, Monk)
• Implement comprehensive multi-phase rotation systems
• Include advanced resource management specific to the class
• Add performance tracking and metrics
• Minimum 1000+ lines per specialization
• Full emergency handling and positioning systems

For Quality Enhancements:

• Focus on class-specific advanced mechanics
• Improve rotation optimization algorithms
• Add missing resource management systems
• Enhance target selection and positioning logic
• Expand performance tracking capabilities
