WD not using Acid Cloud + Firebats

[Holzroller]

Hi.

So I just started botting after taking a break some months.

My WD is running a build with

spirit barrage
firebats (plague rune)
soul harvest
spirit walk
acid could
gargantuan

WD is running around, using soul harvest and spirit walk corrctly, but killing everything with spirit barrage. He does not use bats or acid cloud at all.

Also, when I want to change combat log settings, demonbuddy crashes.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: The bot uses the bats! He destroys object with them.

Any clues?

With the changes to firebats I was going to try this. Looks to still be broken though.

Yeah when it comes to WD's Trinity is very very limited with the functions and attacks it uses. From what i have tried u can't use 2 different attacks efficiently, even when using zdogs and corpse spiders the bot tend to spam the spider far more then needed, any attack used with barrage, locust, or bats wont use the other attack like zdogs, acid rain , ... don't know why but it has been like that for months.

I changed my build to

Spirit Barrage (Manitou Rune)
Acid Cloud (larger impact radius)
Spirit Walk
Soul harvest
Mass Confusion ("killed enemies can spawn zombiedog" rune)
Gargantua (Big stinker rune)

This build is, one the one hand, very safe with mass confusion. After some packs, you have 3 zombie dogs and they never die. On the other hand, the AoE damage is very good. My WD has very good gear so on MP1, it kills Champion packs with AC pretty easy. I found that trinity uses AC well in terms of "aiming".

It's still far from ideal, could make a lot more use of my equipment if the new plague bats could be used effectively. Killing Elite on higher MP levels with AC only is not effective and you dont have enough mana. With a good combat routine, MP3 or 4 could be cleared as fast as MP1. I should be something like this:

Acid Cloud: Use on 3 or more enemies, elite or non-elite, with a cooldown of ~2-3 seconds (no spam)
Plague Bats: Use on 2 or more enemies, but elite only, cast at least 2 seconds
Spirit Barrage (well of souls rune): use to kill single elite

Spirit walk, soul harvest, mass confusion, gargantuan are fine as is.

Spirit Walk ( Jaunt ) + Soul Harvest ( Swallow Your Soul ) + Horrify ( Stalker ) + Zombie Dogs ( Life Link )
MB1 : Zombie Charger - Bears / MB2 : Sacrifice ( Pride )
Gruesome Feast/ Spirit Vessel / Grave Injustice
This works with no problem in mp4 as well as in mp1 .
Getting 60-70m xp/h in act 1
You can switch out horrify with something else if you want. However, it uses it along with spirit walk so it runs even faster

It does not work for me, only 35m Exp per hour. My AC build gets about 41m. 270k DPS unbuffed, no bonus Exp item.

What AC Build? Also, I'm running a wd with 190k unbuffed dps and it works like I said above. ( How did you reach 270k tho?! )
