Phelon's Playground - Support Thread

[Phelon]

This recent little Ban Session Blizzard had on 6/9/2016 got a few of my bots. I no longer have all my accounts to test. So if you want me to keep updating this I will need more D3 and RoS Keys. If you want to donate, you can use the Paypal Button Below.

Greets! As some of you might have noticed, there is a new check box over in Advanced that is called Phelon's Playground. This is my little corner of Trinity where I upload my own custom Routines. These Routines are built for 4 man groups. There is also support for solo classes although those are limited to what I like to play. I may take requests but some classes such as DH and Monk I just refuse to play so those will get limited support or attention. I will be posting my specs for people to use because if you do not use my specs, the builds probably won't work and you will walk around like a zombie wondering why it isn't doing anything.

So if you have questions, please feel free to ask them here. I may or may not get back to you, but at least you have a place to ask a question now!

Hey Phelon thanks for all your great work!

Is the LON bombard for group or solo play? I don't know of any top group comps that use a LON bombard.

For solo play, it doesn't seem to be spamming Laws of Justice when I enable "Phelon's Playground" in build .68.
LOJ starts working again when I disable it.

Can you describe in a nutshell what enabling your combat routine does for LON bombard over the regular trinity routine?

 

[jcliu0]

yeah I want an outline what your LoN bombardment suppport is around > . > Skills etc

 

[Phelon]

LoN Bombardment is for Solo Play only.

As for skills:

Consecration | Bombardment | Akarats | Steed | Condemn | Iron Skin | Shield Glare is what it currently supports.

It will only cast Condem | Iron Skin | Shield Glare | Consecration when it is not steed charging in effort to use Steed Charge to its max advantage. I will probably tweak this for CoE. It will only cast Bombardment when Ironskin is up. And all of that will only cast when CoE is ready or active.

The idea is to maximize damage. I am currently doing 76's and tweaking as I go.

Thanks for all your great work, Phelon!

Is there any way to detect whether Firebird's Finery 2set bouns(When you die, a meteor falls from the sky and revives you.) OR Unstable Anomaly(Passive ) has been triggered?
I try to do some modifications made BOT give priority to use Archon in an emergency(ex. low health).

I would have to look it. I think we can detect them by the debuff that is active after the even occurred.

 

[austin909]

And another issue:
When the Archon is over, the bot often will be in place to twitch for a few seconds, did not cast any skills, just in situ twitch.

Sorry for my poor english, and thanks very much!

Ahh I see, makes sense why LOJ is not being spammed.
At 80+ GR, survivability is a huge issue. Consecration doesn't help much at those levels and LOJ adds huge survivability with decaying strength or immovable object runes (basically required).
If you want to upgrade DPS, the best way is probably bane of powerful over esoteric alteration gem (as it gives 20% multiplicative damage, 15% elite dmg, and 15% elite dmg reduction now).

Consecration is great for speed running, especially TX rifts - but haven't found that it helped much after 70ish GR.

 

[jcliu0]

I seems to die more with the Phelon's Playground instead using the normal trinity settings, I think waiting for the steeedcharge too long is the issue. Is the using potion to fix the rotation for the belt included too?

I found numerous times (on the same pack of elite) the sader wont use bombardment + iron skin combo with the physical rotation up because of steedcharge.

 

[Elandal]

Is the flashfire build the standard one? I'm testing the most recent SVN build now and it's not casting Diamond Skin or Electrocute, and sometimes it's not spamming Explosive Blast (it seems like it does this when in-geom is up but I'm not sure). I'm guessing you use another generator like SB, but what about Diamond Skin?

It thinks Archon is still active and keeps trying to cast spells, I think it is a caching issue, although I am not entirely sure. I do know about this though.

I will look into making sure it gets cast when steed charging.

Spectral Blades instead of electrocute.

When would you use LoJ? On CD even if steed charging? or under a certain amount of health or?

Edit: Added LoJ Support and he will now use IronSkin in CoE phase no matter what.

 

[Elandal]

Spectral Blades instead of electrocute.

With the Thrown Blade rune I'm assuming?

Edit: Still not using Diamond Skin, and not spamming Frost Nova when In-geom is active.

Still thanks!

Frost Nova only goes off if something is with in 12 yards. Diamond Skin should be used on CD if InGeom is active. Although I might just make it always cast it. As for Spectral Blades, it is using the shielding one.

Still thanks!

Without a Lightning rune you only get to 3 Tal Rasha stacks and they seem to drop more often. Not sure that's worth the toughness boost of the other rune, especially when running Gold Wrap (not to mention the Tal Rasha stacks themselves give 25% resistance each, in addition to more damage).

Lighting from armor | Fire from EB | Cold from Nova | Arcane from Spectral. Maybe I am missing something?

The Storm Armor doesn't proc lightning, at least not from what I can see on the default buff bar. As soon as I swapped runes I never saw more than 3 stacks.

I will add electrocute to the spell list. As for grouping wizards or solo: http://www.d3planner.com/737842065 This does not use all runes.. how do we make this effective with 4

Great sounds good, thanks Phelon!
Two laws I can think of that are very useful:

Laws of Hope: Wings of Angel +50% move speed and move through enemies
- Great for fast rift farming (GR 65 or under and TX).
- Amazing combo with fire walker boots (no illusory boots required) and won't get stuck on objects/stop to break doors when not steed charging.
- I usually pair this with in-geom and Rally -> Resulting in permanent Bombard, steed charge, iron skin, consecration, and laws of hope etc.
- Used on CD when not steed charging, but priority over everything else (even iron skin).

Laws of Justice (Decaying Strength or Immovable Object)
- Used for pushing high GRs, adds immense survivability.
- Can usually keep the buff up 90% of the time with 60% CDR and Laws Passive.
- Used on CD when not steed charging, but priority over everything else (except iron skin).
