Custom Witch Doctor Ability Usage

Just uploaded 0.3 version. Also i discovered AWESOME build for myself. I works EXTREMLY good if your dps/survivability is enough for MP you farm. Here's the link. Check it out!

P.S. To make it work perfectly - download latest WD AI build(v. 0.3) and set "force melee bears" option. Also dont forget to set the runes you use. Oh, yes, and allow "Out of combat movement" in trinity.

P.P.S. Watching exloding dogs makes me so happy =DDD

Great work!

However, I wanna be using a haunt/Locust Swarm build atm.
But he refuse to cast Locust Swarm (I have the Resentfull Spirit) rune on Haunt. I want him to more or less open with Locust Swarm (using the pestilence rune there for quick spread) and then just make sure Haunt is up.

just saw this thread. will test it out this weekend. thanks for your work!
would be really nice if u could merge this with CE Trinity - would like to test 1.7.1.6 now too ;-( - what are ur plans about that?
 
I'd wait a little with merging. First - I want to finish what's in progress right now. Second - latest Trinity CE seems to be quite buggy, so i need to investigate whether it will influence on my code or not.
 
excellent work Beerwalker ! iam so happy with those bears and honored guest now! thank you very much! Btw is it possible for you to make bot to force collect health globes for Gruesome Feast ? :) (when out of mana and spirit walk+totem on CD) it would be total annihilation ))
 
When on GilesTrinity WD tab you put Globe% on 100 it should do that, Puzo123.

Trying the Sacrifice/bear build right now; running 700k gold/hour atm :)
I dont have any items that reduce the timers on zombie dogs yet. Might look for that on AH later.
 
one wish, could u please merge this with the newest itemrules?
or tell me which files i need to copy from ur edition?

This can help, but it's not the best way, cus then bot will try to collect globes even on full mana. I'll think about that option.

I'll give them a look. Speaking about copying files, well, there's just damn loads of them, and, it won't work that way.

You just need to copy the entiry rules folder. and delete/overwrite it.
 
i have tried to take sacrifice with Pride rune (mana) and noticed that my toon just spams it every cd in combat - its not smart use, any chance to make it more valuable ?:) i mean using it only when out of mana or nearly oom (~10%) to get FULL bar instantly ( 300 mana per dog ) - in would be great
 
Wow Puzo, that depends very strongly on your entire build, your strategy, MP-level, and probably others things. Pretty sure a bot just needs to run fast ;)
 
i can explain :) if good player (i mean not noob) takes sacrifice , there are can be only two playstyles :

1) "demolition man" with spamming summon dogs and instantly sacrificing them. There must be CD on dogs exactly zero for that build's working (by items). Also that playstyle does not require mana at all due to low cost of summoning dogs. Runes, used here are healing for sacrifice and spawn globes after death for dogs.

2) running with dogs for off tanking / passive absorbs / some extra dmg etc. and sacrifice them when it is needed for healing/mana etc ( depends on player's needs)

I think my request became clear for everyone now :)
I thought Beerwalker's idea was exactly sacrficing dogs only when it is needed due to options "For the master" and "Pride" in his great plugin and i dunno why bot just spams sacri, ignoring those options :) using it every CD must be "Generic" option or i misunderstood something :)

Just letting you know, i love this ai! The 7.1.6 version of trinity doesnt loot legendaries for me, but the wd ai itself increased my xp/hour by 30-40% and works amazing! I switched to the 7.1.4 trinity version and its running great.

Even though wd is voted the worst bot class, i am really happy running my wd with this.. thanks! I will be sure to donate soon, man

"Demolition man", as you call it, doesn't require 0 cd on dogs. And if u looked closely on the build i linked, it has following abilities to restore dogs:
1) "Grave Injustice" - minus 1 sec cd on each killed enemy.
2) "Next of kin" - each sacrificed dog has 35% chance to get summoned again.
3) "Grasp of the dead" - each enemy that dies within area has a chance to spawn a globe, or a dog.
4) MOST IMPORTANT "Circle of life" passive - EVERY enemy that dies near has a 30% chance to spawn a dog.
Any there are some more abilities that can be used to spawn dogs(Voodoo, Confusion).

Speaking about a problem you mentioned (mana regen dogs), well, what you propose can be called "mana bag" approach. It can be good for your particular case(I believe it is), but in general if you take mana rune it doesn't mean that you won't use sacrifice for damage at all.
Right now mana rune just extends possible situations to use scarifice, not denying the generic case. Still, you can modify WitchDoctor.cs and make it work like you believe it should. If you have some questions regarding "how to change dat stuff?" - you're welcome to ask.

Please add the ability to spam zombie dogs. I have 0 cd, and I can do mp7 just by holding down my left click button and spamming 2. (witch is the sacrifice skill or zombie dogs)
I'm using it right now and its working fine, but I do want the ability to just spam because it is much safer when you have globes spawning + a radius+ belt/boots/shoulders to pick up the globes for you. Has lots of survive ability.
 
Well, bot can already spam zombie dogs. There's no cd applied to this ability. He will just use it when 0 dogs exist.
Or you mean spam sacrifice?
