[PAID] [Mage] Portal - An Advanced Honorbuddy Mage Routine [PvE/PvP]

[klb2948]

Is it normal for this CR to not feel "automated"? I've used TuanHAs rogue routine, and its basically all automated and is smart.

Sir, Millz CRs revolve mostly around manual movement. His CRs are barebones to accomplish the rotation and that's about it. He has stated in the past that too much junk bogs down the performance causing issues throughout the rotation. This would defeat the whole purpose of having a CR. Use singular for other things like questing or grinding. I even use singular myself unless I'm physically controlling the toon.

 

[klb2948]

i gotta be honest... millz makes some good stuff but this routine is garbage as anything but a combat assist/rotation bot.

ive wasted a good hour-hour and a half now trying to use it to trap elites and its just pitiful. singular is so superior i cant even put it into words.

pro-tip... mages dont tank. Atleast put in a checkbox to enable kiting/backpedaling/blinking BACKWARDS (who blinks forwards? lol)

Sorry if im being harsh but im beyond frustrated. Going back to singular.. I give up.

Singular couldn't compete with millz when it comes down to raiding. All other stuff singular is better for. We all know that. Not sure what you're trying to get at.

Please no write me more MP with ask, put in this post and all members can read it.

I dont really like the combustion 90% values, in my opinion no working very good, and prefer put my values manually or use addon to activate when addon say.

For the rest, i kill other week 9/10 Heroic without problem, and in too many boss ( Flame, Maidens, etc..) its to easy rank

 

[Millz]

Hi Millz fantastic CR you have. Unfortunately I let a family member use my HB/WoW during a short vacation after purchasing and he refunded it for some reason after being told not to touch any of the settings. Any way I can re-purchase your CR?

You'll need to contact [email protected] and see if they can help you - I have no control over that, sorry.

I have been using TuanHa stuff for my other classes and it's always worked great. I decided to start playing my mage and lock which he doesn't support so today I grabbed your mage profile.
I'm pretty confident I'm using it properly as it seems like it works almost exactly as TuanHa's stuff does with just a different GUI.

However, I bought the premium and I'm trying to use it while leveling. I'm using the latest version of HB, using question bot, and using Kick's profiles the same as I have leveled every other toon. But, the bot does nothing. Not even
buff itself, target or do a single cast. It's not even starting up.

It wont do a single thing. After I level the only thing I really use the bot for is PVP so if you want you can just give me a basic arena xml and I can load from that. I don't think I have any settings wrong.

Any ideas?

thx

Post a log file please.

Hey Millz,

this is my last log less poluted log on an arena test. Didnt cast RoF or Poly on my focus or healer (even put healer on focus aswell), as I said previously.

This is my spec, 2 images:

As I'm seeing, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

Thanks - I think I know what's going on with Ring of Frost. Will put in a fix for this first and see how it goes.

Two questions I haven't found answers for, sorry if these are already answered.

Using combustion glyph, should I use 90% combustion setting?
On what Ilvl should I enable Advanced PvE rotation? I'm ilvl 640 atm, is that too low? Also if you have time, I'd love to know what the advanced rotation changes. I'm trying to learn mechanics by watching routine.

With the glyph I'd go for 90% or custom values. You don't want to use it as often since it's on a longer cooldown.

Hi, i was wondering whether you have had the chance to look at the new fire 4 peice and could perhaps put in some sort of script so it double IB;s target a and combust on target b for huge combust?

It has code in to support this.

In what regards does it not feel automated?

Millz' standard response for more information.

Thank you for taking the time to report an issue! This response is due to either (or all) of the below missing, required information.

- Description of a specific problem
Provide a concise description, with as much detail as possible of what went wrong. Dramatic emotional references about the issue help convey your level of satisfaction, but this is a support thread, used to resolve issues and improve performance. Keep posts focused on detailing the circumstance you encountered and information on how it may be improved. Posts containing profanity or derogatory terms will be reported.

- Complete log file attached
Attaching a log file to the post is your way of indicating the issue is important to you. If it is missing, I assume the issue is not a big deal and I focus my efforts on reports from users that did provide a log file. I am not asking for you to determine whether you think a log file is necessary - I am letting you know that it is required for any issue you would like me to research. Log files must be full, and unedited. Ref: How To Attach a Log

- Time the problem started
A finite moment and specific moment in time something occurred. I need for you to indicate the instant you noticed the problem occur. That requires a time such as "14:53:02" or "Start of fight against boss X" or "Boss X around 50% HP". It is fine to lists multiple occurrences, but each should be a single instant/moment in time. This information is critical, especially in cases where you are posting about something that did not happen (did not cast Fire Blast for example.) If you find yourself wanting to say "Always" or "Everytime" then please re-read this paragraph until you no longer want to.

Thanks again for your post! - Millz

When using DungeonBuddy in LFR, it will always use the Focus Augmented Runes. Most would not use these in an LFR. How is this turned off? I looked in the CR UI and the Bot Config and could not find the answer.

Thanks in advance.

That's Dungeonbuddy using the runes, not this routine.

Yeah in arena's I just don't feel it is as "smart/automated". Like it doesn't seem to CC itself, it doesn't seem to move/avoid being attacked. It just stands still, casts through the mage spell rotation, and takes a beating until it dies. Doesn't seem to use any special "AI" to CC the other target, CC people attacking you, move away from danger intelligently, etc. Then again I could have been doing something wrong. Gladiators Mage Suite felt the same way. But at the same time, I am comparing this to a rogue combat routine. I can see a mage routine being much harder to make it feel "smart/automated" than a rogues.

 

[stewiethecat]

Is there anyway to make the options window for the routine any bigger, I can't see percentages to change them. Seems like words are overlapping

Edit: BTW the demonic routine option screen is perfect, nice and big

 

[naNa47192]

Hello Millz I've this routine and BGFarmer and I'm having problems when I'm afk. If my character have the focus in a character behind him, doesn't rotate. Just stay stuck trying to cast a spell. There's any solution for that? I remember I hadn't this issue in 5.4, the bot was more smarter.

You can't 'AFK' arenas - there's code in Honorbuddy to prevent movement in them.

Honorbuddy:HelpDesk:Honorbuddy and Arenas - The Buddy Wiki

The routine will sheep/CC people - but it has lots of conditions - it doesn't just sheep people randomly for them to be broken a second later (that just wastes diminishing returns).

That's not displaying correctly due to windows accessibility options. Font size is set higher than default. Google for it and you'll find the answer on how to change it.

Which spell is it getting stuck on?

 

[naNa47192]

Which spell is it getting stuck on?

Every cast spell that have to stay face to the enemy. For example, if I've a warrior behind me the bot should use ice nova and blink or something like and then rotate over himself to cast but it just stay bugged giving the back and he won't.


Edit: Meh, forget it. I had Movement, targeting and facing disable.

Milzz is this change in 4 pieces bonus tier Arcane include?

Item - Mage T17 Arcane 4P Bonus should change our gameplay slightly, it means we will want to use Arcane Missiles with this proc, regardless of our current Arcane Charge stacks.

I haven't added it, but that's easy enough to do. Think I need confirmation first to be certain, that the aura proc is this one: Arcane Instability - Spell - World of Warcraft - and that it isn't always active, only when it procs.

 

[born2range8]

Hey Millaz, everything is working good. Can you put option for arena something like when you target 1 opponent(lets say DK), then routine will automatically CC when 2nd opponent is in range for CC. During which time the routine would interrupt the current cast lets say Frost bolt and use CC such as polymorph on the 2nd opponent. This is to avoid being CC'd first.

Can you show me how mouseover CC is done?

Option 1. You can pm me your skype info and I will add you and you can show me in there while sharing screen or something.

Option 2. You can pm me link with video about how mouseover CC works for arena.

Thanks very much if you can do that for me, if you can't still ok with me its a great routine for PvE for me.

Hi Miliz.

I use your routine and i like it.
Here is some stuff i would like to check or improve

Arcane:
Use all Arcane Missile Proccs before Evocation or Barrage. It ofter Dumps the proccs with Barrage and THEN casts arcane missiles. Same with evocation.
Also a manacheck on the manaconserve rotation would be cool. Sometimes you get mana by a totem or something else and the bot uses Barrage at 100% mana with 4 Arcane Charge stacks. So he could still use some more Arcane blasts till Barrage. This would be a good DPS improvement i think.

Fire:
An Option for [x] Living Bomb only on Target
The routine itself is great. The only problem is when they are adds. i. e. BRF Darmac, Thogar, Blast Furnace. i lose ALOT of dps when adds spawn cause the bot casts like 5 living bombs+ on the new targets.

Can you explain the difference between normal and the advanced pve rotation?

Frost:
never used frost

Thx for reading it

Hey

Auto polymorphing has lots of conditions behind it to prevent it being wasted.

Mouseover is fairly self explanatory, you move your mouse over the unit you wish to CC and press & hold the associated hotkeys until it casts it.

AM procs before Evo or barrage -> This is intended to prevent prolonging burn phases

Need log for using barrage at 100% mana - it shouldn't do that.

Fire -> Living bomb -> disable AoE and it'll do this.

Advanced PvE rotation does things like pre-casting fireballs before using procs etc.

 

[iamsonewb]

Hey Millz, can you reduce the cast time of polymorph?

 

[Igai]

thx for the answer milliz.

Arcane:
Also is there maybe a way to put up Arcane Missiles in the priority list when Arcane Power is running and Overpowered is specced?
I recognized the bot still casts Arcane Power at 2 sec AP left with Arcane Missile stacks up.

Fire:
Wouldnt it be a dps increase to refresh Living Bomb after it expires?

 

[sharetheman]

Is it only me, or is arcane performing horrible right now? I mean, its performing way worse then before 6.1

 

[Fireworrkz]

I had this thought too, wasn't sure if it was just me or not. I'm trying to find out if there is a hidden nerf or something.

 

[Millz]

Hey Millz, can you reduce the cast time of polymorph?

Sure. I'll remove GCDs too, sick of them getting in the way of my DPS

Will fix AM for Overpowered - not sure what you mean about the other bit?

Living Bomb still explodes if you refresh it just before the last tick, so best to refresh it at the last moment if possible.

Need more info as to what you think isn't working correctly ?
