Also studio60.... I was looking for some feed back from you on this. Is this 100% afk and if not are you going to try everything to get it 100% afk
Tough question and I'll give a more elaborate answer, so please bear with me.
I always try to keep my profiles in the best shape possible. 100% AFK is the ultimate goal, but in case of ICC I was hesitant to put that sticker on it for a reason. ICC has fights that can kill you. Most of the reasons come down to either your character not pulling enough DPS or its self-healing capabilities being to weak. Also in the beginning I just expected there to be a few issues. The combat mechanics are in parts quite complex and there just can be moments where things go wrong. I test my profiles thoroughly, but apart from resetting encounters on a rogue/hunter I only have so many characters to send there per week due to the raid ids. And with item levels ranging from 580 to almost 700 and four different difficulties there will still be combinations that fail for different reasons.
I know of people that thanked me personally, becuase they run my ICC profiles through the night on 10-11 characters a week and it just works. Apparently it is quite possible to run it AFK.
If you want to go for it, here is what I suggest:
- Set your hearthstone to your respective faction shrine in Pandaria. Those portals just make travel pretty easy and fast and reduce the possibility of stuck issues during travel
- Watch each character once very closely as it runs 25HC to make sure it can easily complete it
- If you find an issue then take the time to report it with a log and a problem description, it makes it a lot easier for me to pinpoint the problem and if there is something I will fix it
There is one thing I still want to add as a safeguard and that is an attempt counter. Let's say you can't pull the necessary DPS to kill the Blood-Queen then right now the bot will just try again and again, occasionally probably heading down to repair and then going at it again. Basically that is why I say you should watch your bot and make sure he can do it. I hand that responsibility to the user. But I realize a lot of users don't want to read anything other than "Obtained loot [Reins of Invincible]". So I want to make the bot stop after X attempts on a boss as a safeguard. That is something I have to do through a plugin to make reliably, because trigger-happy people tend to stop/start profiles as soon as something doesn't happen for 5 seconds and that would mess with a profile based counter.
Would I let my characters run ICC25HC AFK? Probably. I let it run on my 3rd screen without caring for it. I rarely let any bot run when I am not at the computer, but that is just a general precaution. Still I do trust my profile to get the job done.
On a side note: I have been contemplating removing that 100% AFK claim from my products, because in general you should never let your bot run unattended. That claim implies that you can and that is something we as responsible developers just should not recommend. Things can always go wrong. Even a profile running circles around a barrel can experience lag and get stuck on that barrel. One of the main rules of botting is to keep an eye on it.
I hope this helps in your decision making process.
