Is there a way to customize the order of spell casts? For example, I'm a warrior, following the suggested guideline in the getting started post mid30s, but the bot only tries to use two abilities (both with long cooldowns), and ignores other abilities that are ready. If I was able to tell it to cast other abilities while the two it's trying to cast are unavailable it would kill mobs a lot quicker. (For example, it never tries to use Face Slam or Scales of Justice, but instead just keeps trying to use Aggressive Block).

This would require a change to the CC file provided by Hawker in the Dev Forums. Then you would have to compile it into a custom DLL.
Also having the same problem with a lvl 47 cleric, using the build provided in the guide. Cast order is for a lvl 15 cleric it seems... Castin two shields with long cd's, aswell as not using the best abilities at all! Hoping to have some kind of a fix on this..

I am working on custom CCs for the Mage spec now and for the warrior will take time for them to all be updated though.

i am sure that we are going to see many custom routines very soon
as for the default one make sure that you are on the "proper" souls
I copied your recommended soul order (paladin first, champion second, riftblade third) and that's the role I'm having problems with. Although I can only imagine how hard it must have been to come up with a default order for all subclasses and level ranges.

Are you sure you have a shield equipped ?
Hmm, seems quick reply for the forums doesn't work correctly. Typed a reply twice, and each time when I hit submit reply it took me to the full reply page instead of posting the message.
Yes, I have a shield, and the abilities work if I manually hit the hotkeys. I looked at the log files, and occasionally it DOES cast other abilities (like Face Slam), but only after reacting to a reactive ability. Eg, Aggressive Block, Retaliation, Aggressive Block, Retaliation, Aggressive Block, Retaliation (even though aggressive block is on a cooldown, and retaliation can only be cast after a block which hasn't happened yet), then a reactive goes off, it reacts to it with Disarming Counterblow, then proceeds to start casting other abilities like Face Slam.

It uses spells in order of damage done. If its not using a spell, its because the spell isn't worth using at that precise moment.

It seems to be working fine on my warrior. I'm using the advised spec from the guide. It uses aggressive block, punishing blow, shield throw, bull rush, light's decree, paladin's reprisal, stonespear, flamespear, etc. Wish I knew what I was doing different from you guys.
I'm following the recommended soul guide, but it recommends riftblade should come after paladin/champion so I don't have flamespear or stonespear yet.
It's mostly just meleeing mobs to death right now, because it usually only tries to use aggressive block (even though it has a 15 second cooldown and isn't available the bot is still trying to use it), and Retaliation. (which can only be used after a block, and isn't available when the bot is trying to use it.)

If you read the Rift combat logs, Retalion is being used correctly and doing impressive damage. Ignore the red error message Rift sometimes throws.
Here's where it is messing up. If it's a reactive spell that is triggered by a block, and it's in the cooldown phase the bot tries to cast it even though it will never go off (since it's still not available yet) So, block happens, Retaliation goes off, now retaliation can't be used again for 6 seconds. During those 6 seconds it just keeps trying to use Retaliation despite the fact it can't use it because of both the cooldown and that it isn't active (a block hasn't occurred again). The end result is the only outgoing damage my guy is doing is auto attack damage the majority of the fight.
Edit: Found out why, it was the 'queue setting'. I had it on full queue, and putting it on none fixed it. Went from 45-60 seconds per kill down to 10-15 with it using abilities now. Maybe that setting changes a structure slightly and the bot wasn't able to read what abilities were and weren't available correctly.

i have a level 50 warrior i bot thats full t1 with 120 tuffness. no warrior should be using there " advised" build... its garbage... i want to use my riftblade/reaver build but it seems i start the bot and get a error. i DO NOT want to use any profiles posted on this site so i made my own,loaded it, bot used all these scrolls in my bags and i get a LONG error message. not sure whats wrong but i do not see how the bot can work without me setting up a sequence of attacks.
The bot is set up to run only with that "garbage" advised build, as you call it. Using anything else is not going to give people the results they are looking for. As more and more people start using the bot, there will be other class configurations available, but right now, it's the advised build or nada.

Skeletal horror has higher DPS and you never lose health. Stick with it.

Post a link to your build and attach a log with your error.
