I set my bot up with the new Unlimited Blessed shield Spec (I have the wep and Shield needed) However he keeps trying to melee things rather then tossing his shield out over and over. Any Quick fixes for this?

Also hes ignoring some of my rules such as mob pack size +10. (he kills single targets for some reason)

Quick fix is tossing HoJ on your bar..... he will use that for single target....... but its alot slower then running w/ my Lightning spec so I just respeced back to lightning.
 
could you link to that build? or a guide on how to do it? sounds fun.
 
Link the build and i'll work on Trinity's Crusader abilities when I get home from work today. It's pretty easy to reprogram the Trinity Combat system to use skills differently. You just need to know C# :)!
 
I would appreciate a fix for this as well. Seems like he will use melee attacks, even when none are selected. It would be great to have an option for spamming shields, regardless of distance or number of enemies.

Link to Spec:

Crusader - Game Guide - Diablo III

i think he is using the item that removes wrath cost on b shield, thats how its unlimited, my crusader wouldnt no how to use b shield while ur wrath regenerates. it does a normal attack not knowing b shield is free.
 
The legendary 1-handed flail removes the wrath cost of the skill, and the legendary shield adds additional bounces (4-6) to the skill. It's very effective right now with the recent buffs to Blessed shield.

Haha no shit? I didn't know that existed. I've also avoided anything one-handed on my crusader as generally anything one-handed is like -40% damage against my crazy 2handed sword. That being said if you can unlimitedly spam Blessed Shield with 6bounces that'd be pretty silly for sure.
 
Yes Im using the 1h Flail and the +6 Shield. Pre Patch I was only botting T2 effectively. Now I can do T6 but the Rares take to long to kill. Still melts T5 though. Im just using about 60% holy damage on my gear. Nothing else other then the flail and shield. I also built for max Block without the passive. I run all damage boost on my bar. When I get home ill link you the build from the crusader D3 forums.

I'd really like to know what the legendary mace and shield are that go with this build? None are saying the names :(!
 
Dang would love to have those rings. Havent found anything like it yet though.

Mojo- Paper DPS isnt everything... My +114% Lighting Damage Spec @ 700k DPS is getting Shit on by a 19m Toughness 250k DPS spec... Its just about how you buff the damage of your skills. Which Paper wont show.

I would most definitely also be interested in a function/script, that would allow blessed shield to be repeatedly casted, even on single target trash mobs.

I've tried to look into some of the scripts on the forum, that involves DH's elemental arrow spam, with kridershot, however I lack the knowledge and experience to alter it properly. One thing that does come to mind, is that the function of throwing shields, even on single target mobs, might cancel out the posibility of having Phalanx with bowmen being cast too, which is part of the build I'm running. Even if it does, the shield spamming would still outweight the dps lost from bowmen.

I've come to the point where I'm actually willing to donate for said function/script :)
 
Ok so a couple things after looking into this last night.



The bot isn't designed for Crusader to ever be used as a "Ranged" class, even though it can totally be specced for it quite easily. So someone with more knowledge on how to get that done as an optional script would be needed as I'm not knowledgeable enough with Trinity to do that off the top of my head (would need more hours looking at it than I have currently).

As for getting it to spam the attack that's pretty easy. Just modify the primary call for skills into looking to see if your Wrath is above 30, and if it is spam that skill while using your cooldown spells that don't cost wrath in between spams. The problem here is your crusader will always run into melee range because of the first point I brought up. I got frustrated trying to figure that out as apparently it isn't part of the CrusaderCombat.cs, and I missed that behavior in Wizard.cs trying to use it as a guide for said behavior.


If you don't care about the melee range thing I can post a relatively simple example later this morning. Can't guarantee it'll work as i'll be at work, but you can always test it for yourself :).
