Over a 16-month period, Taurenkey engineered and maintained the WrathCombo repository, delivering a robust automation and combat rotation framework for Final Fantasy XIV. Their work focused on core gameplay reliability, implementing advanced auto-rotation logic, targeting systems, and opener management using C# and C++. Taurenkey applied object-oriented programming and asynchronous techniques to optimize performance, enhance UI feedback, and ensure stability across PvE and PvP scenarios. By refining state management, debugging workflows, and plugin integration, they reduced runtime errors and improved maintainability. The depth of their engineering is reflected in systematic refactoring, safety hardening, and continuous release management throughout the project.

February 2026 — WrathCombo (Kagekazu/WrathCombo): Focused on reliability, safety, and visibility of automation features. Implemented core improvements to auto-rotation healing/shielding, enhanced target selection logic, and reduced risk of misfires by excluding non-party NPCs. Strengthened targeting validation for Circle of Scorn, added actionable opener status visibility in the server info bar, and introduced a safety guard to prevent opener execution while the player is occupied. Performed UI cleanup to remove deprecated Wrath Combo entries and released version bumps to track incremental improvements.
