HB ARCHIVES: Singular--DO NOT DELETE

[bobby53]

hey Bobby53 tthanks for the hard work around here. Im wondering where is a good place to throw around CC improvements, not necessarily bugs but a better rotation or suggestion.

DK- Using Dark Simulacrum
Disc Priest - (PVP) Getting great use out of attonement.

rascal9, Please feel free to fire away with suggestions. If they are criticisms or changes to existing functionality, it will be more effective to write them as bugs. For something like Atonement healing which currently has no support, it is better just to give a detailed run down of what you would like to see. Thanks for any thoughts on improvement you may have, Bobby53

 

[bobby53]

Regarding the Blood DK using Gorfiends Grasp, is there a way to modify my version so it never uses grasp? Or is that not supported? (not wanting to step on any toes)

Best way is to remove Gorefiend's Grasp from your talent selections. If it's not selected, your Blood DK won't have the talent so it it will never be cast. Here is my earlier response...

Jandurson, Thanks for the post! Blood will cast Gorfiends Grasp if available. It is a talent, so to disable use just don't select it as your Level 90 talent. If you like to use it in some situations and not in others you'll want to carry some Tome of the Clear Mind (50 silver each) and you can remove that talent and choose another temporarily. No, Singular will not taunt off other tanks. Since you will want to so will want to control all use of taunts, you should click Class Config and disable taunting. Thanks for the post and good luck with your DK, Bobby53

THANKS for all the hard work on this awesome combat routine! A couple things I wanted to bring up.

1) How do I know which talents Singular will use, pretty please?

2) If it's not too much trouble, would the coders mind fixing the FERAL.CS file (in Honorbuddy\Routines\Singular\ClassSpecific\Druid\Feral.cs) to have the spell "Prowl" (which enables stealth) cast before the spell "Wild Charge" which near-instantly enters combat? When in combat, the Prowl spell will not work which then prevents Pounce and other openers. Prowl would ideally be activated before Wild Charge.

Thanks again for Singular!!

What happened (be specific)? When I try to do the Klaxxi dallies the CC will just sit there and wand. I had to complete them by hand but to show a log I put the bot in grind and did a grind profile and it does the same thing and also it does not move, will just sit.
Did you attach a complete debug log? (choose one: YES or YES) Yes x2

Apruus, Thank you for the detailed post. I can't really use the file 1644 2012-12-31 10.48.txt as it appears to be a partial log from a GatherBuddy session and doesn't seem to fit the problem description provided. The other log file named 2324 2012-12-31 12.40.txt once adjusted for local time stops at [17:47:48.919 D] which is 4 1/2 minutes before the time you mentioned the issue occurred. I reviewed this file further and it appears you encountered an issue downloading the mesh for that area, which would cause movement and combat response issues:

[17:44:00.607 D] Exception when attempting to download HawaiiMainLand_27_34: System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: Could not connect to net.tcp://www.buddyauth.com:5031/AuthService.svc. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:01.3370764. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 188.165.234.190:5031.  ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 188.165.234.190:5031

Note that mesh download was occurring in one form or another from [17:43:58.805 D] through [17:45:09.964 D], so a little over a minute.

The log file also indicates trying to run the Grind bot with a Questing profile in the following line:

[17:41:23.923 D] XML Error: Unknown tag "CustomBehavior" (Input: "<CustomBehavior File="ForcedMount" MountType="Ground" />") in "HBProfile"! - On line 3 - [<CustomBehavior File="ForcedMount" MountType="Ground" />]

That won't work. The two bots use two different profile formats. To use the Grinding bot, you will need to load a Grinding profile, move your character to the area the profile was designed for, and then press Start. Attempting to run the Grinding bot with a Questing profile loaded will leave your character standing still as described. The same will also happen if your with a Grinding profile and your character is too far away from the area it was designed for.

I greatly appreciate your efforts in trying to provide details for the issue. If you encounter a problem with your Warlock again please post the same level of detail so I can assist further.

Thanks and good luck with your Warlock, Bobby53

noamchomsky, You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to post. You should assume all talents are used. If you encounter one that isn't, treat it as a bug and follow the steps in Reporting Bugs [CLICK HERE]. Wild Charge issue fixed in next release. Thanks again for the post and good luck with your Druid, Bobby53

What happened (be specific)?

Hi, Bobby53!

I don't know if this is beyond Singular's design goals or not, but thought I'd double-check. This example is from a Paladin, but the same situation happened when running Mages and Druids through the same scenario.

The Scenario:
While doring the Breaking the Emperor's Shield quest, we are sent to kill Nakk'rakas <The Spiritshaper>. As soon as you engage him, he pops a shield that makes him invulnerable, and summons an Imperial Guard. You must kill the Imperial Guard before Nakk'rakas' shield will drop. Several times throughout the fight, he will pop his shield and become invulnerable, and summon another Imperial Guard.

The Problem:
Honorbuddy initially targets Nakk'rakas, and won't switch to killing the Imperial Guard when Nakk'rakas becomes invulnerable. Instead, Singular continues to attack Nakk'rakas until the encounter resets due to timeout (I assume--as the mobs just depopped after a while).

(Not shown in the log) If I manually target the Guardian each time, Singular spanks it good, and returns to Nakk'rakas.

Incidentals (may be helpful or not):
The shield raised by Nakk'rakas is called Protection of Zian. The initial shield shows a stack count of 3. Each time he pops a new shield and summons a Guardian, the stack count on the shield is diminished by one.

Expectations:
I expected Singular to pick another target and spank it, if the current target cannot be touched. If this is not a Singular design goal, that's perfectly fine.

If this is just a quirky scenario, that's also fine. But, just wanted to make certain there wasn't a bigger problem in multi-target situations where a mob becomes invulnerable.

As always, the fact you are the Master of Singular makes me happier than bacon-wrapped cupcakes!

Hey bobby,

Just letting you know elemental shaman needs some help, it does not use any of it's elemental totems like Earth/fire would be really handy when taking on multiple mobs for Earth elemental totem to be used.

No use of earthquake

No use of Acendance

No use of Stormlash totem.

No use of Hex (hex one mob if fighting 2+ mobs.)

Also the self healing for survival could really do with a work over there has been many time's it has died when it could of quite easily healed itself. it needs better use of Healing surge (i have noticed it's almost dead but just keeps on dpsing sometime's when it should have healed) also use of Astral shift would be handy.

One more thing that i can remember Ghost wolf needs some tweaking like a default setting for distance to object to use ghost wolf currently it uses ghost wolf even if it's only going a yard or 2, looks really stupid.

Also Evading mob detection is not working correctly (it detects it, says it blacklists it, but then keeps attacking it

*NEW* Singular 3.0.0.1496 available for download!

See Post #4 [CLICK HERE] in this thread for details on posting issues, questions, and requests for support.

To be sure you saw this, you must attach a complete debug log with any post. Please see the above link for details.

Visit the first post in this thread to download. The prior version is still available there as well in the event you feel the need to downgrade at any time.

Worth mentioning one more time due to the large number of posts without log files that are received, but you must attach a complete debug log with any post. Please see the above link for details.

New feature for Hunters (Focus Frame Unit chain CC'ing) and Warriors (T14 DPS 4pc Bonus) plus a lot of work on all specs of Rogue and Retribution Paladins. Read the Change History for details.

--- Release 3.0.0.1496 ---

General

change- Behavior Selection: these were previously using the Normal (solo) behaviors which was causing unexpected use of cooldowns, etc. (including Death Grip.) Changed to use Instance behaviors.

change- Behavior Selection: will now always use Instance behaviors when you are in a group. This represents a change for those Grinding/Questing in groups or doing other World group activities that don't require entering an instance

fixed - Behavior Selection: previously depended upon the BotBase you are using to reinitialize the Combat Routine whenever your Context changed (entering/leaving a Battleground, Instance, Raid, etc.) This caused a problem for users raiding with RaidBot that would press Start before entering the instance

fixed - Disable Movement: issue causing Follow Leader movement in LazyRaider to be disabled

fixed - Disable Movement: problem with movement being disabled if local computer time rolled back to point before HonorBuddy was started

fixed - Bandages: problem where sometimes recognized an item in bags as a bandage after all bandages were used

change- Targeting: now outputs unique message anytime Singular changes the current target, indicating why it did

change- Spell Cast Messages: when a cast made by Spell ID Singular will now output the spell name rather than the id

change- Spell Failed/Missed Messages: previously disabled if in Raid or Battleground, but will now be enabled for those Contexts if you have Debug enabled. Please set to 'true' if generating a log file for an issue

fixed - Evade Mob Handling: exception occurring for melee characters if swing missed evade bugged mob

fixed - added check for Great White Plainshawk as transport to allow combat during quest on vehicle


Death Knight

change- All Specs - slight change to Death Grip to initiate attack quicker after target enters melee range

change- All Specs - Chains of Ice now used primarily to prevent targets from running away



Druid

fixed - Feral - problem with Feral Druid thrash being cast on cooldown rather than to refresh debuff

fixed - Feral - casting Wild Charge without Prowl


Hunter

*new* - All Specs - "Crowd Ctrl Focus Unit" setting allowing chain crowd control of only target user sets as Focus

change- All Specs - improved crowd control usage in PVP

fixed - All Specs - Hunters Mark spam due to target being arcane immune

fixed - All Specs - isssues with casting traps

fixed - All Specs - issue with exception or wrong target name output for trap casts

fixed - All Specs - added recognition of adds already crowd controlled to avoid wasting traps


Paladin

fixed - Ret/Prot - problem with failed casts of precombat buff Righteous Fury

fixed - Ret/Prot - problem with seal twisting in low mana conditions

*new* - All Specs - support for use of Repentence for add control while solo

fixed - Retribution - self-healing during combat

fixed - Retribution - restored use of Lay on Hands

fixed - Retribution - self-heal logic prior to eating/drinking while out of combat

fixed - Retribution - added AOE support.

fixed - Retribution - fixed rotations for all contexts

*new* - Retribution - added support for all talents

change- All Specs - removed Repentence from use as an interrupt


Rogue

*new* - All Specs - all support rewritten - combat spec tested thoroughly; Assassination and Subtlelty partially tested

change- All Specs - Recuperate now cast regardless of health % if combo points on dead target will be lost if Redirect has not been learned

fixed - All Specs - poisons support reworked. note: poisons are not applied during combat, but will be applied out of combat if missing or less than 20 minutes remaining

*new* - All Specs - poison selection settings support AUto to choose typically best poisions based upon those available to character and current context

*new* - All Specs - poisons correctly applied if you change contexts (and auto selection determines different poison is better) or poison selection in settings


Warrior

change- Arms - Recklessness will additionally be cast on cooldown if T14 4PC DPS Bonus is active

change- Fury - Recklessness will additionally be cast on cooldown if T14 4PC DPS Bonus is active

change- Prot - Recklessness, Skull Banner, and Avatar all cast on cooldown if target is boss, player (pvp), or solo and aoe count 3 or more

Variz, Thanks for the post. A couple quick points:

- I only see one post from you where you referenced Harmony. Here is my response to that post [CLICK HERE]

- Neither that post has a log file attached. A log file is always required, especially when you are asking about Singular behavior

Most likely what you are encountering is a side-effect of using RaidBot. It causes the Combat Routine to only initialize the first time the Start key is pressed. If you press Start while outside of an instance, this will cause Normal context behaviors to be used rather than Instance (Raid) context behaviors. You have a couple choices:

1. Don't even press Start on RaidBot until you have entered the context you want to run in ( Normal, Battlegrounds, or Instance.)

2. Switch to using LazyRaider for raiding. It will correctly reinitialize the Combat Routine when you change contexts

Thanks for the post, be sure to attach a log file if you would like a response, and good luck with your Druid, Bobby53

If any of this is currently implemented let me know because that would mean it's not working as intended and i'll post a log.

xsilverdicex, Thanks for the post. All are implemented, so will need a log. Here are the conditions:

1. Evade behavior is implemented so would like a log file for that alone. There is a knownn issue for evade mob handling that pertains to melee classes and is fixed in the release I just posted, but not for ranged.

2. Stormlash totem is cast when Bloodlust is active.

3. For Questing, Ascendance is used if you encounter a stressful situation (3 or more mobs, an elite, an enemy player)

4. For Questing, Hex is used in a fashion similar to how most CC is implemented in Singular. It will CC an add if the add is 10+ yds away from your current target and you, you are facing it already, and its in line of sight. Requiring it to be 10+ yds away allows continued use of AoE spells while the enemy is hexed. Same thing for Bind Elemental

5. For Questing, Earthquake is used if 6+ mobs in range and no crowd controlled mobs will be in AoE. Additionally only cast if Mana is > 60% or Clearcasting is active

6. Self healing for survival -- log?

7. Ghost Wolf: cast by both HonorBuddy mount logic and by Singular. Will need a log if you would like me to look into this for you

Thanks for the post. If you find it not matching that behavior post a log and let me know the local computer time you observe the behavior not occurring when you believe it should have. Additionally, please set Debug Logging = true before creating the log. Thanks, Bobby53

 

[bobby53]

Nice work Bobby! Still want to see my DK using his spell steal but love you non the less Keep the good work pumping out

It's in the next release. This release kept getting delayed by adding one more thing so had to resist adding more at the moment. Bobby53

xsilver... I have attached a replacement EventHandler.cs for you to copy to your installation. Do the following:

1. Close HonorBuddy
2 .Download and copy file to ROUTINES\SINGULAR\UTILITIES
3. Launch HonorBuddy
4. Set Singular setting Debug Logging to true
5. Click Start

This will write unambigious information to the log that indicates what is occurring. It appears that the Questing Bot is ignoring the blacklist and retargeting, but this module will verify that it isn't a blacklist failure and the entry added can be found.

Thanks for the help in troubleshooting this, Bobby53

rascal9, Thanks for the post! Unfortunately I can't see your screen, so to be able to research further will need to know the exact spell (did you mean Dizzying Haze or Keg Smash?) and the specific local computer time that one failed in this state. If you could change the Singular setting Debug Logging to true before running on this character so the log file will contain additional detail that would be very helpful as well. Thanks for the post and good luck with your Brewmaster, Bobby53
