Hi I have to say first, good job for this all-in-one routine, it works very well on most of builds thanks a lot!

Now I've got something to ask! I'm not 100% sure if this of your relevance, this may have something to do with DB core I could not say.

Maybe an interesting addition for Wizard would be using Diamond Skin while CCed. Example when Feared or Frozen. Actually it wait till CC is broken to react but Wizard Diamond skin can be used and especially my tanking wiz spec, the wicked twisters continue hitting during CC and critical mass make the Diamond Skin cooldown in about 1 or 2 sec so when I play myself I abuse this while CCed and it works very well!

Thanks in advance!!

Ill make it cast if your CC'd.

How can I make the bot stop using wrath of the berserker on normal mobs? I'd like to have him only use it vs elites.

Edit the file:
Demonbuddy\Settings\Belphegor\BarbarianSettings.xml

Code:

  <RageSkillsAoeCount>4</RageSkillsAoeCount>

Increase the number to 100 or something high. I know its a pain till we have a gui.

xasset said:
No, that's work, but badly.. he uses BoH already during middle of fight, so have of fight bot without of this buff... is it possible that he buffed BoH and aura just he starts routine, rather than before starting fighthing

Ill add it into the buff routine aswell then, you'll still need to change the setting tho.

And on this profile, my DH is not using "Smoke scree" and "Preparation"
Routines combat used is: "Belphegor" from the build 176.

We cant see the resources apart from health, so at the moment prperation is set to cast when you health is below a certain point.

Edit the file:
Demonbuddy\Settings\Belphegor\DemonHunterSettings.xml

Code:

  <SpamSmokeScreen>True</SpamSmokeScreen>

It will then cast it every 10 seconds.

xasset · Jul 15, 2012

Nuok, then I'll wait for update. I have changed settings, now it uses Boh for buff, but during the fight. Still need to have option to buff aura and BoH before fight.

Question about Tempest Rush.

Can you change logic of using this ability. To use it ONLY for 1.running on long distances 2.to run away from elite. Right now bot tries to use this skill at any time when it has sufficient amount of spirit - 15 and not uses primary damage ability such as fists of thunder. So in fight this ability is useless comparing with fists of thunder or cyclone or wave of light.

Please look at logic of using this ability

dasBuddha · Jul 16, 2012

I've finally registered on the forums and had some comments about Belphegor's WD routines. I'm a programmer and was impressed to see some of the classical design patterns as part of DB's interface and in Belphegor's routines. I like the progression of the code changes for the most part. I was sad to see code removed that renamed the gargantuan to "Ted". The comment was like "He is Ted for he is awesome".

The routine's situational awareness looks like a strategy design pattern that looks through a priority queue (ordered list) of rules for the first applicable rule to choose. The rules check to see if the skill is available and then whether or not some extra conditions are applicable. Some look to be about player health, pets being up, number of monsters in an area or an elite being present.

So yeah... the witch doctor's routines felt slow and I wanted to tailor it for my needs. What I have below is what my current WD file is like: (1) I added horrify/stalker and spirit walk when possible for extra movement speed and (2) commented out all of the non-applicable skills.

In moving forward, an automated method could be done as an optimization: take the base priority selector and create an intermediary object that only contains the user's applicable skills. This should speed up the AI. Extra work would involve creating/recreating that intermediary object at game creation time and when the skills are modified.

Just throwing this out here: Is it in any way possible to make a modification/option to only kill rares and ignore everything else?

Infernik · Jul 18, 2012

Sorry if it was posted already, but when I use DB with Monks Diablo client is having quite unpleasant lag spikes that lower farm and combat effictiveness.

tesslerc · Jul 18, 2012

Using a demonhunter with grenades, he is throwing grenades in the wrong direction.
No idea if its a belphegor problem or not, but it just stands with its back to the mob and throws grenades.

Many thanks have fixed internally hopefully will come with next build.

Lightseeker · Jul 22, 2012

I have a simple question. I'm not a C# programmer and not so familiar with Lambda Expressions. What I wanted to do is in the Monk.cs to check whether or not the mobs are elite and pass this as a parameter to the Mantra function. Something like this... But I get the following error: Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'bool' because it is not a delegate type. Would appreciate any help.

//Buffs
Mantra(ctx => (Unit.IsElite((DiaUnit)ctx, 10f))),
.
.
.
private static Composite Mantra(bool unitIsElit){...}

Marinepiggott18 · Jul 22, 2012

any way that for an barbarian if you can prioritise Battle Rage (into the fray) over Sprint (run like the wind) so we can benefit from the crit damage, increasing rage rather than sprinting first wasting rage please

xasset · Jul 23, 2012

When can we see changes to Monk.cs - BoH/mantra buff at starting profile, tempest rush bug fix? or it's too hard to implement this changes?

tesslerc · Jul 24, 2012

Barbarian - Wrath of the Berserker

Uses this skill vs normal mobs.
its an "elite" skill, has a very long cooldown and is very powerful - must be VS elites only or if you are very low on health against a simple mob.

---

Tested with Earthquake - same same.

In the version with the gui, you can change how many mobs before you use "Rage" skills.

You could set it too 100 or something

Tempest rush along with Rapid Fire and a few other channeled spells are bugged, I would honestly advise using something else.

Whats the version with the gui? where do i get that?

btw maybe its fixed there but i have leap with armour bonus, i think using that on "low" hp on a monster nearby is a must.
if you get to low hp having 4sec of 300% armour bonus is a game changer.

And what about function to buff BoH and mantra at start of profile run instead of having buffing during fight? For monks, who runs Sarkoth it will give additional +15% damage before starting fight with sarkoth and if to use avasion mantra it can give +5% movement speed/+15% dodge ; )

Gardettos · Jul 25, 2012

Running this build very well in Generic but Belphegor is garbage with it simply because it refuses to cast more than 3 wicked winds at a time.

ixon99 · Jul 25, 2012

Belphegor is really good for munk, but I have one problem, the munk (bot) it dosen?t hit the monsters so often. Espacially if he gets surrounded. Maybe 1 hit ever 2 sec. Is this a common fault? I have got a slightly increased attackspeed at 1.6 but that shouldent matter, right?

jtljudoman · Jul 25, 2012

I thought of a way to improve melee combat with fleeing mobs.

The main current problem is that the mob running away runs away... So you catch up then pause then run after it more. This is highly inefficient and results in you doing no damage to the mob for the majority of the time that it is running away from you.

I propose the following solution - Make the bot "shift" attack the mob a few times once the distance gets small enough. So say you're chasing a treasure goblin you run up and that split second when the bot would normally pause then re-initiate the chase is now turned into 2 possibly 3 attacks depending on your weapon speed. Perhaps have it re-initiate the chase after the mob reached a certain distance away.

Love your work! Cheers.

Lightseeker · Jul 25, 2012

Could you please provide a code example of how to use Unit.IsElite within the function; private static Composite Mantra() in Monk.cs, pretty pls?

Belphegor the official combat routine - We need you're feedback to improve it!
