GatherBuddy needs the following implemented

[Bot]

If there is an aggressive NPC near the Spirit Healer, GatherBuddy should wait for the NPC to leave before reviving.

One of the graveyards in Uldum constantly has an NPC (Neferset Sentry) wandering the area. If you spirit rez while that thing is near, you will be killed immediately (because of GatherBuddy's poor combat system). This process will repeat and all of your gear will be broken immediately.

When I saw my bot dying over and over again, I intervened, or it definitely would have died at least 20x more. First, I am killed by a Neferset Smuggler. Then, GatherBuddy spirit rezzes only for me to get buttraped by a Neferset Sentry over and over again.

Dying 30 times isn't fast.

Poor combat system? you need to ask someone for help with macro's thats all... what class are you?

yes its called bad setup

That ^^

You can blame the setup all you want, but the OP's point holds true. You can have the best, most comprehensive blacklist and perfect macros, but if you die because you get ganked, or GB decides to dismount off the edge of a cliff, you are forced to rez at a spirit healer.

If that damn patrolling mob is near the spirit healer, you're looking at multiple deaths and a hefty repair bil. This is not an issue that can be avoided by the user without manual intervention.

The OP is simply stating that it would be nice if GB had a little additional logic to ensure that it didn't get insta-ganked the second it rezzes. This would help prevent graveyard corpse camping by the opposite faction too -- a problem I had in Sholazar.

What classes are good at combat with GB?

True.

Most classes imo are good at holding there own with GB. You just got to set some good castsequence macros up. Have alook round the web for <Class> Burst guides, Then pop that in a few macros so you do as much damage from the beginning as possible, therefore reducing the amount of health you lose, and reducing the amount of farming downtime you have from combat.

 

[Bot]

I'm using xasset's setup from http://www.thebuddyforum.com/gather...w-4-0-1-death-knight-[frost]-gatherbuddy.html

Its not the macro's fault. Was it the macro's fault when GatherBuddy kept trying to attack a friendly? Was it the macro's fault when GatherBuddy didn't know who to target when there were adds? Was it the setup's fault when GatherBuddy didn't know how to reach mailbox from Twilight Highlands? No, shut the fuck up if you don't know shit, especially you, Khurune. Take your own signature's advice and "THINK" before you post. Don't just quote the person with the highest prestige on the forum (in this case, the moderator) and agree with it.

GatherBuddy clearly has its faults and that's why this section is here. If you're too ignorant to realize this, then don't post here.

How is it the macro's fault when GatherBuddy is spirit rezzing right in front of several aggressive mobs?

The OP is not talking about combat in general. He is talking specifically about fighting mobs immediately after resurrection at the spirit healer, while under the Rez Sickness debuff. Even a prot pally in full 359 will have trouble under these conditions given the current state of GB combat.

if you want help you have to be polite
if you are not polite you need a break

 

[xsilverdicex]

Could you imagine GB with Combat system/logic like HB /drooooool lol

 

[atg68]

like?
Gb is made to be simple and fast

like better combat logic (like HB)
like healing while in combat options (kind of related to #1)
like not flying along the ground if a node is close and flying into a wall/tree/cliff/rock or worst of all flying into 4 mobs.. (2 nodes close together and the bot will not fly back up into the air, instead he'll just fly along the ground to herb/mine the close node)
like better unstuck logic.. 95% of the time a simple strafe left or right would unstuck the bot from tree branches or other random little obstacles, but it (the bot) does this big fly up move left 30 yards then fly back down... looks very bottish
like an option to find it's corpse so it doesnt sit and wait 10 mins or try botting with res sickness.. deaths are unavoidable.. doesnt matter how good the bot is, you're gonna die once in a while.. having to wait 10 mins slows everything down.

dont get me wrong, i love GB.. use it just about every night.. but there is alot of room for improvements.

 

[xn3t0x]

I just want 1 thing back. Which older versions of GB had the option to uncheck Spirit Rez and my toon would sit there dead, then I would take control fly to corpse and resume farming. 1 min > 10 min.
I would use this feature when I was near the pc watching a movie or doing other random shit. I have a toon farming in a PVP realm and every gank is 10 min wasted now.

If I uncheck spirit rez the bot just closes wow and logs out.

The pure reason I don't bother helping this community and why I keep my profiles private.

I'm sorry, I was not going to post.. But I'm sick of the bullaony posted in this thread.
I am someone who FARMS in uldum, I know first hand what the OP is talking about.. When It spirit rezes it shuts down till the ten minutes are up.. Meaning it DOESN'T EVEN try to defend itself against that mob that is attacking you while you have rez sickness.
It has nothing to do with your "Setup" or "macros" when it doesn't even defend itself when it has rez sickness.

If you had gear and a decent macro setup, YOU WOULDN'T OF DIED, therefore YOU WOULDN'T be having this issue.

 

[atg68]

you either dont use GB or you only farm in spots where you're 10+ levels above the mobs in the area. Deaths are UNAVOIDABLE with ANY bot.. but especially with the current version of GB. Are you saying that with 1 macro and some "decent gear" you wouldnt get ganked? wouldnt un mount on the edge of a cliff and fall to your death? pull 3+ mobs?

edit: theres a spot in hyjal where you always get 2 mobs if you try to gatrher.. then if/when you die, you spirit res at the gy where those harpies are.. and they rape you in the air while waiting for res sickness to go away.. thats the kind of thing OP is talking about
