Firebird Archon is completely broken

[nightwish218]

Its very sad how badly this performs. The bot has no clue how the build works and seems to randomly press buttons (if lucky) and often just stands idle, accepting the punishment being dished out to it like some kind of masochist. Most of its actions are very random such as not casting frost nova, teleport or building fire stacks in human form and also completely ignoring most skills in archon form (when it does decide to use archon). Has anyone gotten this to work ?

xzjv is working on the build

Wouldn't say its completely broken, sure it has it issues but right now without any ancient gear other than shoulders, and my bracers have dex on them (as wanted the leg effect and fire %) and missing about 20% CDR. i'm able to do grfit 60 in norm 6-9 min with 1 death per rift on avg so far. Din't even need to change many settings either. Main thing to remember with archon firebird is every item is 100% needed and missing any item will mess you up a lot. Teliport I told the bot to have a 5 sec delay between casts and to never cast frost nova as if you using the correct build your ring will cast frost nova to maintain the crit buff and automaticly w.e you are taking damage so you don't want to cast it yourself wasting zodiac ticks. Same goes with teliport you don't want the bot to spam it or it takes longer to cool down archon I find once per 5 sec works well and can often return to archon form before the stacks from swami run out (in reasonable density rifts).

Ya the first time he enters archon he almost never has more than 1-2 chando stacks as he doesn't wait for them but otherwise during the rift its rare to see him without(20) as if your doing high enough grifts that the build is made for (60+) (55 mabye anything lower this build is crap for). If doing low grifts (40-45) the mobs die to fast to your aoe for your fire skills to light mobs up and build up in archon mode (only see it hitting 20-30 unless I see an elite from stuff dieing to fast). Also without desity and mobs able to live you got nothing to build up chandos and zodiac ticks on.

As for skills in archon ya there is some work to be done there he only spams 1 and uses the beam. But really that's all he mainly needs to do as 75% of the damage is from the random pulse. And using the beam stacks up endless walks damage buff to buff the aoe pulse.

As for standing around I never see this other than when in hes trying to kite from out of avoidable damage and get stuck but that's nothing related to the skill build.

what settings are you using for GR65 ? if you don't mind can you take a picture of your Trinity

Din't change much in trinity itself. On the wiz tab changed min distance to kite to 15 for normal form only, turned of use archon on elites so he uses on cd basically. archon mob count to 1. Teliport delay 500.0 and use OOC apply delay OOC.

In misc: always attack elites in clusters, min trash pack size 6, cluster radius 40, ignore below health with dot to 0.5. This makes in archon mode(the only time you got the fire dot).

The bot will mostly run and spam 1 + the auto nova as it walks into the pack the pulse will right away in 1 tick give everyone the max dot. Since white mobs hit 50% almost instantly he will start looking for new mobs to kill. When in normal form without a fire dot he will stop looking for new mobs and fight the first pack of 6 he sees kiting a bit. (the kiting doesn't seam to work that well so far though he still likes to stay to close at times hense the death).

His effective cool down on teliport will be 5 sec due to the bots delay that you added. I found that teli norm cd in 2 sec from zodiac so this allows 3 extra ticks for archon per teliport.

Than after that I removed frost nova from the wizardcombat.cs so that he never casts it. Not the best way to stop the cast but till xzjv tunes the build it works to get him to stop spamming it. As frost nova was eating about half my zodiac ticks otherwise. The ring cast it more than enough as it is.

Also as a edit to above it was 60 in 6-9 min forgot i turned it down last night to level gems maintained that time for the last about 8 hours. 65 I was doing in about 12-14 min

Also as an edit here I'm using diamonds in my gear right now as till I get better ancient gear with the right affixes my damage is to high 2-3 shotting everything the rift bosses die in quite literally 3-6 secs so the extra survival was more useful. I might change my stricken to a EA temp till I get better base gear. Thats in archon form in normal form you just basically maintain to not die.

Also as another edit archon form never teliports only the base form so I'm not using the teli rune right now.
